The president on Wednesday night was at his fourth Democratic National Committee fundraiser in three months, and in just 20 minutes of talking about his agenda for education and free trade, he brought in $750,000 for the party. But as effortless as a single dinner can seem, hanging over every move to prepare for the 1998 congressional and gubernatorial elections is this daunting fact: Twenty-five cents of every dollar raised by the DNC this year is earmarked to erase debt or to refund illegal or questionable contributions accepted last year.

This eruption over the DNCs troubles provides a convenient excuse for a lot of donors to just sit on their hands for a while, said veteran party strategist Donald Sweitzer, who is leading a Democratic Gov-cmors Association fund-raising drive. This isnt going to end the operation. But it is a dry time and these problems dont help. The DNC is $12.7 million in debt, and the party has committed to returning some $1 5 million iir 1995-96 contributions by June 30. 1 1 Bertha Vogt Bertha Vogt, 89, of Pender died Wednesday, April 2, 1997, at Pender Community Hospital.
