Buddy Roemer out of a tight, three-way race. Mr. Duke, a Republican state legislator shunned by the White House and the na- tional GOP, will square off against former Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards, a Democrat, in a runoff elec- tion Nov. 16. Mr. Edwards, who had an- ticipated that Mr. Duke, rather than Mr. Roemer, would be defeated, had ex- pressed doubts along the campaign trail that voters would take seriously "a grown man who ran around for years in a sheet." Mr. Edwards emerged the front-runner in the primary election with 34 percent of the vote. Mr. Duke garnered 32 percent, and Mr. Roemer trailed with 27 percent.' Mr. Duke's rhetoric during the campaign has not been of the racist nature associated with the Klan. Rather than making overt references to race or religion, Mr. Duke spoke in more subtle terms about the "New York in- fluence" and its control over the media, and about the "rising welfare underclass." The candidate spoke in more concrete terms five years ago when, during a taped interview with a doc- toral student researching the Klan, he said Jews belong in the "ash bin of his- tory" and that they should be resettled outside the United States. While the former Klansman attributes his past activities to his youth, there is "no indication that he has changed his beliefs," according to Ted Flaum, di- rector of the Community Re- lations Council of the Jewish Federation of Greater New Orleans. Mr. Flaum said Mr.. Duke's victory indicates that voters "are looking for scapegoats and easy solutions to serious problems." Lance Hill, executive di- rector of the Louisiana Co- alition Against Racism and Nazism, said Mr. Duke's ap- peal is "very simple: He offers an authoritarian racist solution to crime and economic deterioration." Mr. Duke garners support among whites by saying he will implement repressive measures in the black com- munity, Mr. Hill said. In fact, a recent poll in New Orleans detected a so- called hidden vote among well-educated whites who support Mr. Duke but decline to acknowledge their support. Abraham Foxman, na- tional director of the Anti- Defamation League, ex- pressed disappointment that the "electorate was willing to either blink their eyes to this man's racism and anti- Semitism or to be supportive of it." Jerome Chanes, co-director for domestic concerns at the National Jewish Commun- ity Relations Advisory Council, said the issue of Mr. Five years ago he said Jews belong in the "ash bin of history" and should be resettled. Duke's candidacy goes far beyond the candidate and the state of Louisiana. Mr. Chanes said Mr. Duke's candidacy raises two questions: what Mr. Duke's success in Louisiana means in terms of the resurgence of extremist groups in Ameri- can society and what it means in terms of the re- emergence of anti-Semitism in the political process. Mr. Chanes said he be- lieves Duke's victory is not reflective of society at large. "The experience over many decades has been that, generally speaking, Ameri- cans tend to repudiate, to re- ject out of hand, extremist, racist and anti-Semitic rhet- oric," he said. But Mr. Hill said polls in- dicate that Duke stands a good chance of capturing Louisiana's governorship. His anti-racist coalition, which has been credited with playing a role in Mr. Duke's defeat in his bid for a U.S. Senate seat last year, plans an active television and radio campaign against him. And many of the Jewish groups, which cannot engage in partisan activities without losing their tax- exempt status, are working instead to educate the public about Mr. Duke's background and agenda and to get out the vote.
