BOSTON--President Bush's Massachusetts re-election campaign hauled out the big guns last night as Vice President Dan Quayle spoke to several hundred supporters at a rally inside Quincy Market.

On the eve of primary elections in 11 states, Quayle attacked congressional Democrats for not passing Bush's economic proposals announced in the State of the Union address last month.

Quayle was joined on the platform by Gov. William F. Weld '66, Lt. Gov. Paul Cellucci, State Republican Party Chair Leon Lombardi and State Rep. Dave Peters.

The event, which was closed to the public, stood in sharp contrast to the raucous rally for former California Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. a few hundred feet away on Boston Common, which drew over 1000 people.

The tight security at the Quayle event resulted in the ejection of three supporters of Patrick J. Buchanan, Bush's most serious challenger this primary season.

The three men were escorted from the room shortly after Quayle began speaking, when they extracted pro-Buchanan signs that they had smuggled in beneath their jackets.

Despite the protests and the election eve feel of the event, Quayle stuck to familiar themes--condemning the Democrat-controlled Congress for not passing Bush's plan for economic recovery.

Quayle said the plan, outlined in Bush's State of the Union Address in January, would decrease unemployment and lower taxes for the middle class.

Democrat leaders in the House and Senate have opposed the plan, saying that Bush's economic policies would likely be popular but would have little real impact on the economy.

While Peters criticized Buchanan by name in his opening speech, Quayle maintained the Bush campaign practice of only acknowledging "a protest vote" that the president is taking into account.

"George Bush is doing something about it," Quayle said to cheers from the crowd, which gathered about an hour before the speech.

Quayle also deflected Democratic labeling of the GOP as the party of the rich.

"The Democrats define anyone who has a job as rich," Quayle said.

Quayle went on to call for change in the "civil justice system," claiming that while the U.S. has eight percent of the world's population, it has 70 percent of the world's lawyers.

Quayle said the Bush administration reform policies would "make the legal system more fair for all Americans."
