GORE TOP SPENDER LAST YEAR IN N.H.

CONCORD, N.H. - Although Sen. Albert Gore Jr. of Tennessee has been downplaying his chances in New Hampshire's presidential primary and touting a strategy of concentrating on the South for Super Tuesday, campaign spending figures show that in 1987, Gore spent more money in New Hampshire than any other Democrat. [Arlie Schardt] said one reason Gore's spending figures could be higher was that he spent money on direct-mail advertising last year, aiming at independent voters and residents of southern New Hampshire where he called himself less liberal, particularly in foreign policy, than the other Democrats. Between October and December 1987, FEC figures say, Gore spent $171,066, compared to $107,793 for [Dukakis].
