The county like 7b others in Indiana will Sta on Standard time All , Harkin top democratic fund raisers Washington a former sen. Paul Tsongas was the Leader tuesday and sen. Tom Harkin was close behind As democratic presidential candidates filed reports showing sluggish Early fund raising. Tsongas of Massachusetts reported raising $767,010 since his entry into the race in March. But he also led in spending and had the smallest Campaign Bank account heading into october. Harkin an iowan who entered the race a month ago was a close second at $713,857. He appeared Likely to overtake Tsongas soon a if he Hadnot done so already in the two weeks since the sept. 30 cutoff Date for the reports. The three other major democratic candidates a sen. Bob Kerrey of Nebraska and goes. Bill Clinton of Arkansas and l. Douglas Wilder of Virginia a All trailed Tsongas and Harkin by about $500,000 As of sept. 30. Kerrey was just ahead in this latter group reporting $223,720 in receipts. Wilder was close behind with nearly $220,000 in donations and Clinton trailed the pack with $201,319. Harkin was alone in accepting contributions from political action committees As of the cutoff Date. The totals All moderate were not necessarily of any use in trying to rate the candidates Overall fund raising strengths. Kerry and Clinton for example did not formally enter the race until after the reporting period covered by the Federal election commission filings. Harkin and Wilder announced their candidacies just two weeks before the sept. 30 cutoff. And All of the campaigns Are spending much of october trying to raise Money. Still the reports provided Clear evidence that the 1992 race will not be nearly As expensive As the 1988 contest. Indeed at this Point four years ago eventual democratic nominee Michael Dukakis had raised $8.1 million alone a nearly four times the combined total of the five major 1992 candidates. Predictably All the campaigns expressed satisfaction with their fund raising while saying the recession was making it difficult.
