Arkansas governor
emphasizes unity
The Associated Press
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. President
elect Bill Clinton late Tuesday laid claim
to a landslide victory he called a "clarion
call" for the country to "face the chal
lenge of the end of the Cold War and the
beginning of the next century."
"My fellow Americans, on this day,
with high hopes and brave hearts in
massive numbers, the American people
have voted to make a new beginning,"
said the 46-year-old Arkansas gover
nor, with 44-year-old running mate Al
Gore at his side.
Clinton said his mandate was to "re
store growth to our country and oppor
tunity to our people."
The first Arkansan everelected presi
dent also will become the third young
est president, the first baby boomer to
win the White House.
A crowd of 40,000 filled the streets
of Little Rock as Clinton ended a roller
coaster campaign in triumph. He
thanked the residents "of this small
state," a humorous reference to criti
cisms of Arkansas by President Bush
and Ross Perot. In return, the crowd
chanted "landslide, landslide" to spot
light his commanding victory.
Clinton thanked Bush for his service
to the country and for his graceful con
cession. He also applauded Perot and
his candidacy.
The scene outside Arkansas' Old
State House was a picture of the young
administration coming to Washington:
the Clintons the governor, his wife
Hillary and their 12-year-old daughter
Chelsea and the Gores the sena
tor, his wife Tipper and their four chil
dren. "I accept tonight the responsibility
you have given to me, to be the leader of
this, the greatest country in human his
tory," Clinton said. "This is a remark
able coalition for change. I ask you to
keep that commitment as we move from
the election to governing."
Of Gore, he said, "We have estab-

RALEIGH In what had been a hot
and contested race for the U.S. Senate,
Republican candidate Lauch Faircloth
emerged victorious over Democratic
incumbent U.S. Sen. Terry Sanford
Tuesday night.
Faircloth addressed a festive crowd
of approximately 250 supporters at the
Brownestone Hotel in Raleigh after he
was declared the winner by a margin of
52 percent to Sanford' s 48 percent.
"I am deeply honored, not only by
what has happened tonight, but by what
has happened in the last 20 months,"
Faircloth said. "This fills the body and
warms the soul."
Faircloth said his victory demon
strated the union of U.S. Sen. Jesse
Helms' branch of Republican conser
vativeness and N.C. Gov. Jim Martin's
branch of Republican ideals. He also
said his victory brought "cohesiveness
into the conservative movement in the
Republican Party."
"There's been a coming together of
people in the state who believe in less
taxes, less spending and less control of
government," he said.
Faircloth reiterated that he wanted to
reduce federal spending by opposing
increased tax proposals.

to fill the ranks of the first Democratic
administration in 12 years since
Jimmy Carter left office.
His voice still hoarse from a grueling
final day of a grueling campaign, Clinton
told the nation, "This election is a clarion
call for our country to face the chal

beginning of the next century, to restore
growth to our country and opportunity
to our people, to empower our own
people so they can take more responsi

lems too long ignored from AIDS, to
the environment, to the conversion of
our economy from a defense to a do
mestic economic giant." '
He told Bush and Perot supporters,
"We need your help, and we will do our
best to deserve it."
Clinton took a minute to thank two
supporters who died during the cam
paign, fund-raiser Vic Raiser and Paul
Tully, the Democratic National
Committee's political director.
"I still believe in aplace called Hope,"
he said at the close of his remarks, a
tribute to his tiny hometown.
Clinton then introduced Gore, who
embraced him and said, 'This has been
a time of discovery, a time of restored
dreams and renewed hope."
He thanked the people of Tennessee
and the nation.
"I look forward to the high chal
lenges of national office, and I consider
it a matter of tremendous honor and
pride," he said.

HOUSTON President Bush, only
the fifth incumbent president to be voted
out of office this century, asked the
nation Tuesday to unite around its new
president, then looked ahead to life in
the "grandfather business."
"The people have spoken," Bush told
a campaign rally in Houston, the last of
his three-decade career in government.
"We respect the majesty of the Demo
cratic system."
As he walked from the stage, he
whispered to wife Barbara, "It's over."
"Thank You George, Thank You
George," the partisan crowd shouted as
Bush prepared to speak after an intro
duction by longtime friend and political
confidant Jim Baker.
"She has inspired this entire nation,
and I think this country ought to be
grateful," Bush said of his wife, who
stood by his side as he acknowledged
his was a one-term presidency.
Bush took a sip of water before speak
ing, shaking his head at the applause.
There were tears in eyes throughout the
hall as Bush partisans accepted defeat.
"I plan to get very involved in the
grandfather business," said Bush, as his
children and theirs stood behind him.
- "1 ask that we stand behind our new
president," said Bush, who telephoned
Clinton before offering his concession
on national television 20 minutes after
polls closed on the West Coast.
"They have run a valiant effort in a
very, very difficult year," he said of his
campaign staff, singling out Vice Presi
dent Dan Quayle for lengthy praise. A
few minutes later, Quayle offered a
concession speech of his own.
"He did run a strong campaign, and I
wish him well in the White House, and
I want the country to know our entire
administration will work closely with
his team to ensure the smooth transition

RALEIGH In an enthusiastic
victory speech Tuesday night. Demo
cratic gubernatorial candidate Jim
Hunt told his supporters at the North
Raleigh Hilton, "My friends. North
Carolina is on the move again."
Hunt, who will return as N .C. gov
ernor after an eight-year absence, said
he had learned many lessons from his
first experience as governor and was
glad he had been given another chance
to make some changes.
"I've been given something rare in
life: a second chance," Hunt said as
the crowd chanted its approval. "I'm
proud of what I did as governor, but I
didn't do everything right."
Hunt said his past term had taught
him that state Democrats, Republi
cans and Independents must learn to
work together in a positive and coop
erative spirit.
"It is time to purge our government
of bitterness and excessive biparti
sanship," he said. "All of us must join
hands for it to work."
Hunt proclaimed that he had not
won the election for the Democratic
Party, but for all the people of the
