When Lott was asked if he was endorsing Smith for re-election, Lott said he didn't feel it was his place to tell New Hampshrie how to vote. Smith's aides say the possible challenge doesn't change the senator's plans to seek re-election. Some view Smith's seat as vulnerable since he briefly left the party to run for president as an independent. |

P-NH--Crime Ad hmravbnasfls Thief returns stolen goods after seeing ad -- An advertisement caught the conscience or the fear of the thief who returned the smowmobile accessories he stole from an Antrim shop. Last week, small-engine repairman Charlie Lincoln ran a newspaper ad seeking the return of a belt, windshield and tote bag taken from his business, Charlie's Small Engine Hospital, on March eighth. The ad, which ran in the Monadnock Ledger and in subsequent stories carried statewide, urged the thief to return the goods or face police. The thief apparently took the first option -- the items were returned on Tuesday. |
