When later asked specifically
about Smith's actions. Quayle
referred to past problems with
legislation concerning the in
dustry and then said: “...I'm
sure then; is plenty of blame to
go around. I'll just speak to my
own knowledge of Denny
Smith, and his integrity is im
peccable.
"He has got a remarkable re
cord of public service." Quayle
said. "He's got a remarkable re
cord of serving his constit
uency And as far as I'm con
cerned he is a very capable and
outstanding member of the con
gress in all respects.'*
kopetski has used Smith's
S&l. involvement as a weapon
in his campaign against the
congressman
Among other issues touched
on, (Juayle called for continued
public support for the decisions
President Bush has made in
dealing with the Persian Culf
crisis. And referring to budget
negotiations now in progress in
Washington. D.C.. the vice
president scolded Congress for
not working with the adminis
tration to craft a new budget
and reduce the budget deficit.
Monday morning the vice
president flew from .Seattle to
Portland, when* Smith and hit

motorcade for the ride to Sa

(Juavle has raised about $14
million in campaign funds by
making similar appearances tor
candidates around the country,

CAMPAIGN
Continued from Page 8
"Smith seemed to take his race
for granted, Kopetski took lim
ited resources and built a crack
organization."
And in this year’s race, the
odds look very similar.
In July. Roll Call, a semi
weekly newspaper on Capitol
Hill that focuses solely on Con
gressional politics, listed Smith
second in an article titled “The
20 Members (of Congress) Most
in Jeopardy."
But in this campaign Smith
appears to be taking no
chances.
A round of members of the
Bush Administration have been
through to stump for Smith,
their appearances culminating
in Quayle's fund-raiser Mon
day. The Smith campaign
hopes the high-level help will
draw voters.
But it is Smith's high-rolling
image that Kopetski has tried to
use against him in in this cam
paign.
"I will approach the job dif
ferently," Kopetski said in a
phone interview Friday. "1 will
be more concerned with the
economic and social issues of
the 5th District."
Kopetski's campaign litera
ture goes even further by listing
"Five ways Denny Smith per
sonally contributed to the $500
billion savings and loan cri
sis."
Smith's involvement with
three Oregon savings and loans
— all of which failed — has
prompted the Democratic Con
gressional Campaign Commit
tee to file a formal ethics com
plaint against him.
Then in August Smith
stepped up his offensive. Short
ly after the Iraqi invasion of Ku
wait, Kopetski remarked to re
porters that "We shouldn’t take
military action What we
should do. though, is go
through the United Nations."
The Smith campaign used
the remark as the cornerstone
of a bold campaign maneuver,
producing the ad with Hitler's
voice and summarizing: "...
Mike, appeasement is wrong."
The add resulted in more at
tention for Smith; the congress
man received media coverage
and negative remarks around
the country.
In early September Thu
W ashington Post ran a one-col
umn article under the headline
"Incumbent Smith Calls on
Hitler in Oregon Contest." And
one week later, syndicated col
umnists lack Anderson and
Dale Van Atta wrote an editori
al scolding Smith for his ac
tions.
But overall. Smith doesn't
appear to have been hurt. He
came out six points ahead of
Kopetski in a poll produced by
The Orefionian newspaper ear
lier this month
Despite the jockeying and ac
cusations. for every percentage
point Smith is reported to la1
ahead by. a week of campaign
ing remains. A lot can happen
in six weeks.
