mental values," Quayle said.
"And now as the election ap
proaches it will be your turn.
And the future of who will be
the next congressman in this
district is in your hands...”
Although Quayle made no
mention of Smith’s involve
ment in the country’s savings
and loan crisis, reporters ques
tioned him about the issue in a
press conference that followed
his speech.
The Democratic National
Campaign Committee filed a
formal complaint with the
House Kthics Committee two
weeks ago. accusing Smith of
violating House rules by his in
volvement with three Oregon
savings and loans. Smith is ac
cused of lobbying federal regu
lators of the industry, while be
ing director and later board
member of one of the institu
tions, and possibly profiting
from the failure of another.
When a reporter asked the
the vice president about the
S&L crisis at the press confer

general issue, speaking about
the costly solution to the crisis
without directly addressing
Smith's actions.
"You have to realize that we
are trying to correct the S&I.

people are going to pay the

cannot outlaw stupidity, and
you can't outlaw bad judgment,

Smith continues to nde
political roller-coaster
By Joe Kidd
Emeiatd Associate Editor
The vice presidential atten
tion Dan Quayle’s one-day slip
through Salem gave battling in
cumbent Denny Smith on Mon
day is but one peak in the roll
er-coaster campaign the con
gressman is trying to ride to re
election.
For every shot of support the
five-term Republican congress
man has received, a slap of
negative attention has seemed
to follow in his race against
Democrat Mike kopetski for Or
egon's 5th District.
Analysis
Indeed, some of Smith’s
woes have been self-inflicted in
his run against Kopetski. pro
ducing one of the country's
closest races for a congressional
seat in this election.
Allegations of slippery in
volvement in the nation's sav
ings and loan crisis have raised
eyebrows around the state. And
last month. Smith's use of an
aggressive campaign ad featur
ing the voice of Adolf Hitler in
the background provoked sharp
rebukes from around the coun
try
Hut beyond Smith's own ac
tions. outside forces have par
ticularly targeted his candida
cy. Both the National Demo
cratic Party and the National
Abortion Rights Action League
Mike Kopetski
are gathering efforts and dollars
to unseat Smith. 52, seeing the
close race as a chance to
squeeze a Democratic ally into
Congress.
The combination of Smith's
perceived vulnerability and his
multifaceted opposition has
produced one thing: an elec
tion race in which image mak
ing and breaking have towered
over the actual issues at hand.
The theatrics of this year's
contest are rooted in Smith's
narrow win over Kopetski. 40,
in the 1988 election. In that
race, then two-term state Rep.
Kopetski lost to Smith by only
707 votes. The Congressional
Quarterly’s Politics in America
says Smith wron by a surpris
ingly narrow margin because
