HARTFORD (UPI) - Gloria
Schaffer's Democratic campaign
against Sen. Lowell P. Weicker,
R-Conn., is hopeless unless she
can convince voters to look past
his Water gate record.

   

News analysis '

Schaffer has kept a hectic
speaking schedule for the past
year. taking Weicker to task for
his votes on a number of issues
and bringing in national Demo-
crats to plead her case.

None of that appears to have
worked and with less than two
months remaining in the cam-
paign most Democratic leaders
concede her chances for victory
are slim at best.

“She doesn’t have a prayer if

someone can't knock that Water-
gate halo off of Weicker’s head,"
said one influential Democrat.
Others say even a huge margin
in Connecticut by Democratic
presidential nominee Jimmy Car-
ter won't help Schaffer as much
as is traditional because Weicker
is not the typical GOP candidate.

Weicker, who aroused national
indignation against a president of
his own party during the Senate
Watergate hearings. leads Schaf-
fer by wide margins in all polls.

Watergate and a voting record
more liberal than typical for
Republicans have apparently giv-
en him sizeable strength among
Democrats and independents in
this state where his party is

Schaffer campaign  

to distribute ballots .

By DAVID TILLES

Ten thousand absentee ballot
applications will be distributed by
the UConn campaign committee
for Gloria Schaffer. its chairman
said Monday.

Committee chairman Michael
Lawlor said he hopes students
will be impressed by the initiative
taken by the Secretary of the
State's senate campaign effort in
undertaking the project. He said
he hopes a heavy Schaffer vote
from UConn could prove pivotal
in the statewide balloting.

Lawlor said the application
distribution is a continuation of
Schaffer's efforts as secretary of
the state to increase voter regis-

tration. He said voter registration
has been the Secretary's highest
priority program during her term
in office.

The committee outlined a
schedule of activities for Schaffer
on her visit to UConn Sept. 21.
She is scheduled to speak at the
Student Union, Lawlor said. The
committee hopes her schedule
will permit her to visit selected
sites around campus.

Lawlor said he is trying to
persudade the state field coordin-
ator for the schaffer campaign to
schedule other campus visits,
hoping particularly for a visit at
the Homecoming Weekend foot-
ball game Oct. 16.

virtually powerless and a small
minority.

Weicker has even picked up
significant labor support, appar-
ently enough to deny Schaffer the
endorsement of the traditionally
Democratic Connecticut State La-
bor Council AFL-CIO.

Although there is some unhap-
piness in the GOP about his
failure to toe the part line,
disgruntled Republicans are ex-
pected to vote for him, if for no
other reason than they don't have
any alternative.

Schaffer is unacceptable to the
Republicans because she is per-
ceived as being more liberal than
Weicker.

Weicker carries non-GOP edge into race

crats who have come to campaign
for Schaffer in Connecticut have
joined Gov. Ella T. Grasso and
Sen. Abraham Ribicoff in refu-
sing to criticize Weicker and that
hasn't helped.

The scene last week of Sen.
Hubert Humphrey, D-Minn., de-
picting the national Republican
administration as the biggest
tghreat to humanity since the
bubonic plague and then refusing
to chastize Weicker was a sight to
be seen. Schaffer's tactics hvae
also left her open to criticism from
voters who say they are sick of
listening to political mudslinging
and tune it out.

Her problem isn’t just Water-

Schaffer’s campaign out of gate, but it is the pervasive factor

necessity has become a negative
one. attacking Weicker at every
turn desperately trying to con-
vince Democrats especially that
he isn’t one of them clothed in
GOP garb.

Weicker’s union support is
perhaps the best example.

Education in the 50’s for his votes
in the last couple of years. His
rating during the early part of his
term was substantially lower.

Connecticut Democrats in Con-
gress traditionally score in the
high 80’s and 90’s in the COPE
ratings and in fact his score is not
much different than Connecti-
cut's Republican Reps. Ronald
Sarasin and Stewart McKinney.

But neither Sarasin nor Mc-
Kinney have a prayer of stopping
their Democratic opponents from
getting the financial contribution
and colunteer help that goes
along with the labor endors-
ment.

Plain and simple, says one
union leader pledged to Weicker,
the difference is Watergate.
“Sure his rating isn’t that high,
but he has voted our way on the
issues that really matter and
besides, there's Watergate. Our
members remember,” said Mi-
chael Ferrucci.
