OIL CITY, Pa, Sept. 14.-Judge
Arthur H. James, appealing for the
votes Of liberal Democrats" moved
into Venango and Clarion Counties
today In his campaign for the COVER
norship.
The Republican nominee told a cam
paign rally gathered in Punxsutaw-
ney's Barclay Square last night:
THE real Democrats Of Pennsyl-
vania are coming to realize that those
in power at Harrisburg have sold their
party as we'll as this State down the
New Deal river.
1T is unworthy of them to claim to
belong to the party Of Thomas JET
ferson. That famous statesman was
ever firm in his support of independ-
ence and liberty ="
Life Line Declared Need.
Judge James referred to the eco
nomic situation and asserted:
I'VE are adrift in sea Of troubled
waters, and We need life line. The
only life line in sight in Pennsyl-
vania today is the Republican party.
The Earle administration forgot its
principal campaign pledge, which was
to give our people more jobs"
Judge James termed utterly false
the malicious misstatement that either
I personally or the Republican party
will be against relief after the elec-
ton"
He said the party intended rather to
help jobless men and women yet off
relief" by charting path to real jobs
with a real future to them" in private
industry.
Daughter Along on Tour.
Earlier, at Indiana, the candidate
addressed a countrywide rally at the
Fair Grounds. Referring to members
Of the high school class which attended
the rally, Judge James declared:
Mothers and fathers want chances
for these boys and girls. They don't
want to have to 60 to political boss
for a Job for them"

had written a farewell note, ask
ing that Charlotte's bills be paid,
asking that they be buried to-
gether.
WHEN they wrote that note,

came home Unexpectedly. But
now, in the morning, there was
nothing to stop them.
The girl lay on the boys bed,
the valley lilies pinned over her
heart. Donald went to his
fathers room and got his
fathers army pistol. Then he
took from the drawer in his own
room cartridges he said he had
had since he was a kid" not
many years ago.
They felt for Charlotte's
heart. She held her breath, SO
that when she breathed again
the beat was louder. She wanted
to be the one to die. She tried
to take her own life, telling
Donald that he must go on
living without her. But Donald
had forgotten to load the gun
and Charlotte's attempt to bear
for him the awful task failed.
CHE could not try again. She
~ could only hold the mlzzle
against her heart while Donald,
crying, pulled the trigger. After
that was the realization, the
coming back to sanity, for the
boy, and the nightmare OF
police, of arraignment, Of i'm
prisonment, of seeing on his
own blue coat Charlotte'S blood.
Of questions by detectives, of
cameras flashing in his Devil
dered young face.
The nation read last week

how the four parents went to-

of how the girl lay in white
dress with her fathers vlolets
