By Phil Lemman Ot the Emarakl Ross Anthony has come a long way, but he still has a long way to go Anthony, a University economics professor, grew up in Oklahoma and spent six years in the Himalayan country of Nepal as a Peace Corps volunteer and health advisor. Now he wants to go to Washington, D C., replacing Democratic Rep Jim Weaver Running unopposed on the Republican side of the May 18 primary election, Anthony is buying billboard space throughout the Fourth District, which covers the southwest corner of the state "Name identification was something we had to deal with from the beginning," says Anthony campaign manager Carol Caulk Paying for advertising and staff is a large part of Anthony's campaign expenditures, which have passed $71,000 The final cost tor the campaign against Weaver will be between $300,000 and $700,000, Caulk says "We need to be in that range to win," she says In the 1980 general election, Republican candidate Mike Fitzgerald spent more than $379,000 — and lost According to contribution reports filed April 27 with the secretary of state, Anthony has raised only $74,414 That sum includes a $45,000 per sonal loan from Anthony which must be paid back with interest. He has received $10,000 from family members and more than $6,000 from Oklahoma oilmen, lawyers and businessmen Although Anthony wants to raise his money conducting a grassroots campaign, he hasn't been too successful About $7,800 has come from contributions under $200 The average contribu tion has been between $100 and $200, Caulk says The percentage of money coming from small individual contributions will increase as the cam paign continues, she says “It takes time to build a grassroots organization ” At this point in the 1980 campaign, Fitzgerald had raised thousands of dollars from timber interests, a major source of funds for Weaver opponents in past elections Anthony has received only two timber-related donations, worth $1,250 "We re looking at a broader base," Caulk says "Our energies have not been focused on one particular group " Joe Rutledge, administrative assistant to Weaver, says "It used to be that timber could Photo by Bob Baker There's still work to be done at Ross Anthony's campaign headquarters before the general elec tion rolls around. make or break an election in this district Now it's just one more factor " Like Anthony, Weaver has raised about $74,000 for his campaign However, most of his money has come from labor unions and small contributions Weaver has raised more than $37,000 from contributions averaging $40. Rut ledge says National support is another indicator of dif fering views on the race Anthony has received $4,000 from the national Republican Congres sional Committee, and expects to get $10,000, Caulk says The Democratic equivalent decided to give the maximum legal amount of $25,000 to selected candidates who are in substantial trouble," Rutledge says, adding "We are not in that cat egory " Weaver has spent about $31,000 so far, and Rutledge does not expect much more to be spent until the general election campaign Weaver's sole primary opponent. Gene Arvidson, has raised only $250 Weaver's campaign expendi tures have paid for staff and reactivating the campaign apparatus. Rutledge says
