That such a notorious white supremacist could run and win under the G.O.P. banner was especially embarrassing to Lee Atwater, chairman of the Republican National Committee. Atwater has embarked on a campaign to broaden his party by attracting more blacks. He derided Duke as "a pretender, a charlatan and a political opportunist" who turned Republican shortly before the special election primary on Jan. 21. Duke finished first in a seven-candidate field...
During the runoff campaign against the second-place finisher, Republican home builder John Treen, Atwater sent messages from President Bush and Ronald Reagan urging Duke's defeat. This effort not only failed but apparently backfired. "We resent outsiders coming in trying to influence us," explained Guy Hinton, a third-generation resident of Metairie.

An avowed Nazi in his college years, Duke entered presidential primaries in a few states last year as a Democrat but won no delegates. He ran as presidential candidate of the Populist Party and got only 0.05% of the vote. Although he claims to have left the Klan in 1979, his home address serves as the local Klan office. He now heads the National Association for the Advancement of White People from the same location. While he professes to believe in "civil rights for all people...

The Reagan Administration opposed extension of the Voting Rights Act, affirmative-action programs and busing to achieve school integration. In 1986 the Republican National Committee supported the purging of voting lists in Louisiana, ostensibly to eliminate residents who had moved or died but actually, as it conceded in an internal memo, to reduce black turnouts. Only recently, Reagan contended that some black civil rights leaders cling to profitable posts by claiming...
