EARLE RULE HIT
. v
Pennsylvania Candidate
Emphasizes State’s Loss
of Industries.
By the Associated Press.
BRADFORD, Pa., Sept. 16—Judge
Arthur H. James, on record with a
charge that the Earle administration
has gathered "dark clouds of hate"
against industry, toured through the
northern tier of counties today in his
campaign for the governorship.
The Republican nominee told a rally
in this oil center last night that “in
the dark night of depression” the State
Democratic administration has made
conditions “still more gloomy."
He charged that “the stars which
represent Pennsylvania’s industries,
one by one, have been falling into
Virginia and Tennessee and Mississippi
and many other States.”
Judge James said Pennsylvania’s
"greatest crown of glory” had been her
Industrial supremacy, which he esti
mated had brought 10,000,000 people
Into her boundaries.
He said many people are asking:
“Will there be any stars at all m
our Industrial crown when Gov. Earle
leaves office? (Gov. Earle Is the Demo
cratic nominee for United States Sen
ator.)
Earlier, the' Judge told rallies In
Tlonesta and Warren that Gov. Earle
■ had “put bloodhounds on Industry”
and that his opponent, Charles Alvin
Jones, “says be plans to go ahead
where Gov. Earle left off. We are truly
sailing down the river of doubt and
Into the swamps of misery and de
spair.”
The candidate tours Cameron, Potter
and Tioga Counties today, concluding
his current swing Saturday at the
McClure bean soup festival in Snyder
County.
