JOSEPH GELARDEN STAR STAFF WRITER With 92 percent of precincts reporting in the race for Indiana attorney general, Democrat Pam Carter was inching toward a victory late Tuesday night over Republican Timothy L. Bookwalter. With 4,983 of the state's 5.412 precincts reporting, Carter held a 52 percent to 48 percent lead over Bookwalter.

The partial count had Carter with a lead over Bookwalter. Her total stood at 963,435 while Bookwalter was at 895,191. Carter's strongest margin appeared to be in South Bend and St. Joseph County, where with 240 of 266 precincts reporting, she was leading by 16,464 votes. When all of Marion County's 892 precincts were counted.

Carter had won by 8,700 votes, according to The Indianapolis Star's Computerized Election Bureau. The unofficial Marion county totals were 143,759 for Carter and 135,059 for Bookwalter. "The trends are super," Carter said. "Our strongest counties are still coming in and the strongest precincts that are out are still coming in. So we can be cautiously optimistic." In Marion County, Carter finished with 15,039 votes above what Is considered the baseline vote for Democratic Party candidates.

The baseline is the average of vote totals for the three county- ATTORNEY GENERAL wide offices of treasurer, surveyor and coroner. Her showing suggested that Gov. Evan Bayh's coattails were helping his former executive assistant in her first political forav. Carter, 43, of Indianapolis, was Bayh's executive assistant for health and human services. Book-waiter, 37, of Fillmore is a self-employed criminal defense and personal injury attorney.

By most measures, the Carter-Bookwalter battle was one of the state's most bitter campaigns. Despite the totals, many voters expressed distaste at the campaign, citing mudsllnging television ads in which the candidates accused each other of personal financial problems. Carter also pointed out that Bookwalter's former law partner had described him as unqualified for public office and that Book-waiter reneged on a lease for a business office. In return, Bookwalter countered in his ads that Carter had no criminal trial law experience and that she had declared bankruptcy in part to wipe out the student loans that financed her law school education. Carter is only the third black candidate to run for a statewide office.

Both parties, however, discounted race as a factor in the campaign. STAR STAFF GRAPHIC DISTRICT 40 DISTRICT 44 81 of 87 Precincts 62 of 103 Precincts (I) VI Simpson (D) 24,402 Jeffrey J.

Maidenberg spent considerable effort in Hamilton County, a Republican stronghold, but "It's tough when you're working on a retail basis, one vote at a time." Late in the campaign both candidates began airing television ads in Indianapolis to reach voters in the southern end of the district. Maidenberg virtually eliminated all mention of his party in the ads, hoping to lure Republican voters with references to his willingness to rise above partisan politics.

"Luke" Kenley built on a strong Republican base to take a victory Tuesday over Incumbent Democratic Sen. Anthony C. Maidenberg, reaping the gains from a newly configured District 20. Maidenberg helped break a legislative deadlock In 1991 when he accepted a Republican-drawn district map, allowing both the state budget and redistricting to gain approval in the Indiana General Assembly.
