advertisers the advantage of the

major mining towns.

RANDOM THOUGHT
The old bugaboo of to many Judges
in Cambria County is again thrusting
its head forward—at least the propo-
sition is a bugaboo to some -maybe
mostly lawyers. Just now, too, with
the election of a Judge this fall sched-
uled, such a procedure by the Legis-
lature would take hope and ambition
cut of several minds for a time at
least.
Observers are of the opinion that
the matter resis entirely with Gov-
ernor James. If Republican lead-
ers in the county figure it would
be good strategy on their part to
abolish a judgship, James’ likely
can accomplish it with ease. He
won't likely have any opposition
Senator John J. Haluska, Democrat,
either, as the Senator has in the past
advocated the abolition of one coun-
ty judge.
®
But that does'nt in any sense mean |
that Governor James will sanction any
such move. Judge McKenrick will be
up for reelection this fall, and likely
there will be other Democrats who
will try to cop the nomination from
him. On the other hand there also are
several Republicon lawyers who are
not adverse to being a Judge, and in
the light of the 1938 election, they may
figure that 1939 will give them (or one
of them) the most opportune period
to land on the bench. That being the
case, nothing likely will be done about
matters. Governor James will without
doubt be governed by advice from the
local county Republican leaders..
®
Hence, the necessity of continuing
en with more Judges than the coun-
ty uceds, won't be a factor at ali.
Poll vill govern. If the Repub-
licans Jccide to have the legislature
a5otish one Cambria Judgeship, it
will be because they sense it will
be playing popular politics with the
voters. If they decide not to make
such a move, it will be because they
have decided the time is ripe for
of cosas __——

tional Banks.

We forgot to mention the matter.
last week, but on Sunday, January
15th, the Philadelphia Sunday In-
quirer presented the public with an
entire supplement, picturing its pub-
lisher, Moe Annenberg as an angel
of light and truth. It denies that he
bad connection whatever with or-
ganized crime and in the next breath
frankly admits that he owns the
Daily Racing Form. Good, old hon-
est Moe!
°
And in the light of the matter in
which Dear Old Moe was brought into
the picture by we Democrats during
the recent lamented election campaign
as being tied up with Governor James,
we give you the following statement
from the Governor, after he had ad-
dressed the Clover Club in Philadel-
phia: “I have and will serve no master.
I am the master of my fate and the
captain of my soul, and have been for
fifty years. I suppose there are some
Republicans who hope they will be in
clover pow, But if we are to. keep our
promises tor the rank and file there
will be pretty short stubble for some,
especially those who think politics
and public office yield only private
riches.” If the Governor lives up to
the above declaration, he'll have done
something to add to his own glory, at
least. Time will tell.
°
Just think of it] There are now
45,000 jobs in the state to be given
and filled by_Republicans. Our im-
mediate interest will be in seeing
how many Patton gets — not how
many they want.

THE UNION
A GOOD START
The following is a story written by
Kermit McFarland, Pittsburgh Press
political writer, and appearing in last
Sunday's issue:
Gov. Arthur H. James in his first
few days in office, belies Arthur H.
James who was a candidate for Gov-
ernor.
In his campaign Judge James worri-
ed even his most ardent backers by his
uncompromising attacks on the New
Deal. They were sour on many of his
slaughtering support he might other-
wise attract although before the gener-
al election campaign was finished
there was a noticeable change in the
views behind his speeches.
Some of the judge's backers also
thought he was making a mistake in
some of the histrionics he adopted to
punch up his campaign and disappro-
ved his failure to resign from the Su-
perior court.
But in the conduct of Judge James
I ; form the philosophy enunciated in his
campaign speeches, believing he was
PRESS COURIER.
since he came to Harrisburg there
were no histrionics, no petulance, no
vicious assault on the New Deal, no
impression that Mr. James thought so
well of himself he could not make con-
cessions to public sentiment or in-
telligent opinions expressed by others.
Mr. James went into office with the
air of a man who was confident and
not cocky, who knew he was up against
a tough job and was prepared to meet
it, and wanted to get along with ev-
erybody but would not backwater un-
der threat or pressure or steer away
inaugural address.
There was nothing in anything Mr.
James did or said on his inaugural
day either formally or informally,
which any citizen, no matter what his
philosophy of official conduct or gov-
ernment could criticize.
Neither New Dealers or Old Guard-
sters could possibly take issue with
the principles laid down in his inaug-
ura laddress, which was extraordinar- |
ily well received, even in hostile quar- *
ters.
Mr. James, in his long career, never
has been one to backtrack on a pro-
ject, once he made up his mind to it.
His closest friends and advisers are
confident he will maintain that habit
and are convinced he meant every
word of his inaugural address.
If that conviction is sustained Mr,
James is likely to run into more trou-
ble in his own ranks than he will out-
side them. The source of his chief
trouble will be the Republicans in the
senate and not the Democratic bloc.
The senate leadership is in the hands
of men who share the philosophy of
government of which Joseph R. Grundy
is the national emblem. There already
is feeling between the Senate major-
ity leader, G. Mason Owlett and the :
Governor's office. And there is feeling
, betwen Joseph R. Grundy and Jospeh
N. Pew, who contributed the biggest
bloc of cash to the James campaigns.
No Governor can escape trouble
The longer his administration goes the
more trouble he is likely to encounter.
Mr. James hardly can be an exception.
Mr. James is bound for patronage

troubles if he insists on an efficient
| and economical administration. And
| he has said he would do that and has
| already started out to do it.
