Meeting with congressional Democrats on Capitol Hill, Kerry dismissed the ads, saying they "have nothing to do with health care for Americans, nothing to do with jobs for Americans, nothing to do with education for our kids, nothing to do with cleaner air or cleaner water, nothing to do with making America safer in this world. They can't talk about those things because George Bush doesn't have a record to run on, he has a record to run away from, and that's what they're trying to do." meThe ads, part of a multimillion-dolla- r dia campaign launched by cash-ric- h Bush last week, are certain to spark debate over negative campaign tactics, as well as Kerry's record on taxes and terrorism.

Utah GOP members may avoid some primaries SALT LAKE CITY-U-tah Republican Party executives are proposing a rule change that would make it easier for the party's state convention to pick candidates without them having to go through a primary battle. Chris Bleak, state GOP executive director, said Wednesday that the state party central committee proposes a new ballot take place in close, contested races after a previous ballot winnows large candidate fields to two candidates. A candidate receiving 60 percent of the delegate vote on the final ballot would l-run-off win the nomination without having to take part in the June primary. The rule change will be proposed to delegates at the May 8 convention. If the 3,500 delegates adopt the proposal, they could put it into effect immediately. However, Bleak believes they will decide to make it apply to future elections, not this year's. Jon Huntsman Jr., another GOP gubernatorial hopeful, opposes the rule change. Huntsman said he will ask state delegates pledged to him to vote against the rule change. Two charged Judge: R. Kelly's in journalist's nude photos murder illegally seized COLUMBIA, Mo. Two men were arrested in the death of a Columbia Daily Tribune sports editor who was beaten and strangled in the newspaper's parking lot. Kent Heitholt, 48, was slain shortly after he left work in November 2001. His assailants, then high school students, targeted Heitholt in a random robbery, Boone County Prosecutor Kevin Crane said. The two men were arrested after police received tips that indicated one suspect had talked about Heitholt's death, police said. Ryan W. Ferguson, who was arrested Wednesday near Kansas City, and Charles Timothy Erickson, arrested in Columbia, were charged with murder and robbery. They did not enter pleas during a court appearance Thursday by video link from the county jail. The two were being held without bond. A preliminary hearing was set for March 30. Ferguson faces the most serious charge, murder, which is punishable by death or life in prison. Jim Robertson, the Tribune's managing editor, told KOMU-The was "stunned, excited, happy they made an arrest." Officials said Heitholt and a colleague left the office about 2 a.m. The colleague drove off in his car but Heithold stopped to feed a stray cat in the parking lot. Minutes later, a custodian at the paper noticed a commotion and saw two men walking away. Colleagues found Heitholt face down in a pool of blood and called 911. Bob Thompson, one of the who discovered Heitholt's body, told KOMU: "We're all kind of relieved that justice will have a chance to be served. At the same time, it's hard because it brings back all those memories. It's not going to bring Kent back to us." BARTOW, Fla. Detectives illegally seized photographs allegedly showing R&B singer R. Kelly having sex with an underage girl and prosecutors cannot use them to try him on child pornography charges, a judge ruled Thursday. Circuit Judge Dennis Maloney agreed with Kelly's lawyers that Polk County sheriff's detectives did not have enough evidence to justify a search of Kelly's Davenport home when they asked a judge for a warrant in June 2002. The photographs were on a digital camera that was wrapped in a towel inside a duffel bag. Prosecutors said they would wait for Maloney's written order to decide whether to appeal. Assistant State Attorney Chip Thulberry said if there is no appeal, prosecutors would drop the 12 counts of child pornography against the singer, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly. "I told him, 'Congratulations.' He was very pleased," Ed Gcnson, R. Kelly's lawyer said. first-degr- The Jetty jump 4 Ml TS if SOUVENIRS 71 ill CLOTHING COLLECTIBLES C 0 MQ - FREE GIFT ) 50 South Main Street 2nd Floor East Concourse 801-548-37- 64 y .

Police also found and detonated three other bombs. "An act of barbaric terrorism has engulfed Spain with profound pain, repulsion and anger," King Juan Carlos of Spain said on national television. Who carried out the highly coordinated attack was a mystery. The Spanish government put the Basque separatist group ETA at the top of its list of suspects, although a shadowy group claimed responsibility in the name of "March n, 2004, now holds its place in the history of infamy," Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar said. The bombing came three days ahead of Spain's general election on Sunday. A major campaign issue was how to deal with KTA, the Basque militant group. Campaigning for the election was called off and three days of mourning were declared.
