(AP) - Bas- * ing her campaign on “the right of everyone to know they will get a fair trial,” attorney Moria t Krueger defeated Dane County Judge Archie Simonson in a recall election sparked by his courtroom remarks on rape. » Ms. Krueger, 33, parlayed outrage at Simonson's com ments linking rape and wom en’s revealing clothing into 27,- * 244 votes and a 35 per cent plu rality Wednesday. Six candi dates were on the ballot in the ( first judicial recall election in Wisconsin history. Simonson, whose comments from the bench in a May 25 ju- • venile rape hearing attracted national attention and sparked a 35,000-signature local recall petition drive, received 25 per cent with 18,435 votes. “I’m a little overwhelmed,” Ms. Krueger said at an up roarious celebration at a ‘ friend’s home on the pre dominantly liberal West Side, which proved to be her strong ( hold. The 52-year-old Simonson said, “The verdict is in and I have no comment other than • that.” However, he repeated his steadfast campaign stance that he had run not against his op ponents but against the notion he should be recalled for what he said. i The judge said his plans for the future are indefinite, but in dicated he would probably not try to regain his seat next * spring. “If nothing else, I can prac tice law,” he said. ( He also said he might consid er joining a local citizen’s cam paign against the sex-for-sale business. “It depends if they ask me or not,” said Simonson at a local hall after the ballots were < counted. Ms. Krueger refused to at tribute her victory to her long- ♦ time link with the women’s movement. “The most important prin ciple is the right of everyone to ■ know they will get a fair trial,” she said as the champagne and x v _.y>B J^9^^. ..aar ▼ ~ ik. \.- e k \ * z Dane County Judge Archie Simonson holds his grand daughter after learning of his defeat. (AP) beer flowed at her victory par ty. “They aren’t going to be judged on their gender or race or any other extraneous fac tors.” The judge-elect, who fought a “special interest” label during her feminist-led campaign, said she was surprised at the margin of victory in her battle to take over Simonson’s $31,000-a-year job. Election officials said she will be sworn in Sept. 18 to take over the remainder of Simonson’s six-year term, which expires in April. Ms. Krueger, who specializes in juvenile law in a downtown private practice with her hus band, Edward, had spent more than $15,000 on a heavy media campaign a week before the election. Simonson spent S4OO during the same period. The voter turnout was unex pectedly high, about 49 per cent compared with election offi cials’ estimates of 35 per cent early Wednesday. Students ready, buses weren’t SANFORD, Maine (AP) - Students were set to go, teach ers had their lesson plans pre pared and classrooms were all ready for the opening day of school — unfortunately the buses weren’t. Police discovered the 19 school buses didn’t have current Maine inspection stickers, so the district’s 1,700 children found themselves walking to school or catching rides with parents and friends Wednesday. The problem was revealed Tuesday night at a school board meeting, which ended at 2:30 a.m. Wednesday with a decision that the buses wouldn’t be used on opening day. School Superintendent Charles Beattie said the mixup caused attendance to drop only slightly and that the buses were inspected and ready to go today. *Rho(feL furniture serving the south since 1875 A new look in Colonial!
