Senator’s bookkeeper
testifies in fraud trial
mSESS&i
(AP) — The bookkeeper for state Son.
Pog Jolln said her boss kept close track of
her campaign accounts, bolstering the
prosecution's claim that Jolin tried to
stnal from them.
John. 40. Is charged with mailing out a fund-raising loiter
in November 1090 asking lobbyists for donations to cover a
campaign deficit of more than $10,000 when her campaign
actually showed a $20,000 surplus.
Shirley Raymond, John's longtime bookkeeper and cam
paign secretary, testified Tuesday that Jolin directed lobbyists
to send contributions to her Collage Grove home where she
opened the contribution letters before passing them along for
processing.
"Peg was very awaro of the money that came in.” Raymond
said. "I think she's pretty meticulous at keeping track of the
money."
Jolin, a Democrat, was indicted in May on nine felony
counts of undue influence after a state Investigation. The six
term legislator also was charged with seven misdemeanor
counts of theft.
In opening statements to a Lane County Circuit Court jury
Tuesday, John's attorney, F. William Honsowetz. maintained
that Jolin had not committed any crime in soliciting contribu
tions following hor successful 1900 re-election bid
Lobbyists would have gtvon Jolin money regardless of
whether her campaign was in debt or had a surplus.
Honsowetz. said.

Clinton coulan t save AuCoin
PORTLAND (AP) Lss Au
(4>in had hoped Democrat Bill
Clinton's surge would help him
defeat Republican Son Boh
Packwood
But the coattail effect never
materialize*! for AuCoin. whose
Senate bid wilted in the face of
a barrage of Pack.wood TV ads
attacking AuColn’s bad checks
and other supposed character
flaws
Clinton, who easily captured
Oregon'* seven electoral voles
Tuesday, wont out of his way
to give AuCoin maximum ex
posure during his campaign
stops in Oregon
At a campus rally in Kugene,
Clinton and AuCoin stood to
gether with their hands joined
overhead as thousands of on
lookers cheered and photogru
pliers recorded the event for
newspapers and TV
AuCoin tried hard lo link
himself to the economic
changes promised by Clinton
Packwood and his Republican
"cronies" brought economic
misery to millions, AuCoin
said, and the time had come to
toss them out of office
Clinton's coattails did help
others in Oregon politic ill rot es
In the i-'lrsl District congrus
sinnol race, for example, new
comer Elizabeth Curse coni I ted
her strong showing to voters'
perception that she wos part of
>i Clinton-led movement to put
the economy hack on track
Unfortunately for AuCoin.
the image many voters had of
him came from Pack wood TV
ads that portrayed AuCoin .is a
congressional < her k bouncer
with a lousy voting record
Meanwhile, Clinton's strong
per formant e in Tuesday's ehn
tion showed Oregonians didn't
buy President Bush's assertion
that Clinton is a radical envi
ronmentalist who would bring
more misery to the beleaguered
timber worker
Amy Chapman, state director
of the Cllnton/C.ore campaign,
said Bush's call for overhauling
the Endangered Spot ies Act
didn't impress people Clinton
instead has proposed a summit
of environmentalists, limlrer in
teresls and others to try to find
a way to preserve old growth
forests and keep the timber in
dustry allvo.
"There is no easy solution to
this problem, and it would
hove been Irresponsible for
Clinton to sitv there was one,"
she said
Chapman said the Hush ad
ministration's overall handling
of the economy and Its rejec
tion of Oregon’s health ration
ing plan did nothing lull en
hance Clinton's standing in Or
egon
"Clinton has said the health
care system has to be over
hauled. and he i nmmended the
people of Oregon for coming up
with a solution of our own.”
she said
Oregon Republican Chairman
Craig Burkinan vs.is surprisingly
blunt in his assessment of why
Hush fell flat in Oregon and
around the country
"Me didn't do a good job of
defending the things he did to
help the economy'." Ilerkmnn
said It was an abysmal cam
paign I think he came across as
whining "
