FAYETTEVILLE, W.Va. (AP) - Former Governor Cecil Underwood says Republican political ads attacking his Democratic opponent in the 1996 election were 'inappropriate.' He also said he asked the sponsors to stop running the advertisements.

Underwood stated in a videotaped deposition that it has been a hallmark of his decades-long political career to distance himself from negative advertising.

The former governor's comments were made Monday in Fayette County in Charlotte Pritt's lawsuit against several Republican groups. The lawsuit alleges the groups committed libel, slander and defamation by publishing false and injurious statements about her in advertisements that ran during the final weeks of her unsuccessful 1996 campaign against Underwood. Underwood is not a defendant in the case, which was filed in 1997 against the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Senatorial Committee and a political action group known as the Victory Committee.
