SHAWNEE, Okla. (September 30, 1998 2:14 p.m. EDT
nandotimes.com) -- Bare-knuckles political battles are to be expected in the campaign season. Fliers showing a candidate bare-breasted are not.

A candidate for Pottawatomie County associate district judge is
offering a $50,000 reward for information on who is distributing
campaign fliers that show her baring her breasts.

Attorney Paula Sage, 39, said Tuesday that the photo was taken
during a 1990 Halloween party by a former friend who now is her
opponent's secretary.

"I am not Bill Clinton. I do not deny that the photograph is of me," Sage said, declining to explain the Halloween party.

Police Chief Hank Land said the flier showed Sage with her sweater
lifted. He said only a few copies had been distributed and police are
trying to find the source.

The flier also accuses Sage of being temperamental and foul-mouthed, among other things.

Sage's opponent in the nonpartisan race, incumbent Associate District Judge John D. Gardner, said he had nothing to do with the flier, though his court reporter gave him a copy.

"I glanced at it and threw it away," he said. "I think the less fuss made about it, the sooner it will go away."

Sage said the Pottawatomie County district attorney saw one of the
fliers and told her she should seek prosecution against the responsible parties.
