JAMES MAKES PLEDGE TO HIS NEIGHBORS IN HOME COUNTY
YOUNG REPUBLICANS HEAR PLEA
TO CLEAN HOUSE AT HARRISBURG
bo Republican Candidate Speaks
To Enthusiastic Crowd
At Wilkes-Barre
SCORES DICTATORS
The speech of Judge Arthur H.
James, Republican candidate for Gov-
ernor, before the Young Republicans
at Wilkes-Barre last Saturday night,
follows:
“Tonight I am addressing the
Young Republicans of Pennsylvania.
You are here because you are inter-
ested in the problems which are so
seriously distressing our State. Your
presence here is sufficient answer to
those who say that Pennsylvanians,
that Americans, no longer think for
themselves, but must elect master-
minds to do their thinking for them.
“Our Commonwealth has many
troubles, but she has no lack of cour-
ageous, intelligent, serious-minded
people, who love her, who will sac-
rifice for her, and who this year are
banding together to bring her once
more to the road on which she be-
longs—the road of prosperity and
happiness.
“TI am in this fight by reasons both
of faith and convictions. I have faith
in the American way, and I have
faith in the Republican party, just as
I have faith that the courage and
steadfastness of the men and women
of Pennsylvania have not diminished
in the years since they manifested
themselves at Valley Forge and Get-
tysburg.
“And I have a deep-seated convic-
tion, based on thought and observa-
tion alike, that we are being tempt-
ed astray—that many of our people
are chasing a will-o’-the-wisp which
will lead us deeper and deeper into the
swamps.
“T believe that the true future of
Pennsylvania, the course which will
return us again to prosperity and hap-
piness, is that road which we followed
so successfully for a hundred and fifty
years—constitutional democracy.
“That highway is mapped in the
- platform of both of the major political
parties, but. it is not being followed
by those in authority in this State.
“The tree of constitutional democ-
racy bears a fruit which is of inter-
est and deep concern to you who are!
before me tonight. I refer to oppor-
tunity. America has always been the
land of opportunity. Pennsylvania
has always in the past offered to her
sons and daughters a chance to rise
upon their energies and with their
abilities to the highest honors in the
state.
“My own life is an illustration of
that—I am the son of an imigrant
miner, who rose within one genera-
tion of the second highest position
within the gift of ten million people,
and today I aspire to the highest.
“Pennsylvania made it possible for
me to climb from that humble home
to honor and distinction and respons-
ibility. I want to preserve that ladder
of opportunity by which I climbed.
“My story is a true story of the op-
portunities which always have existed
under the folds of the Stars and
Stripes, and yet which today are
threatened by new policies and new
theories.
“That is a tradation for which the
Republican Party is fighting, and for
which I, as the bearer of its banner
in this state, am honored to lead the
battle. : ;
“Opportunities exist in foreign
lands also—but opportunity of a kind
that Pennsylvania has never acknowl-
edged until very recent months.
Across the ocean, we have seen ob-
secure men rise, by the force of arms,
and organized hatreds, to supreme
and dictatorial positions where the
fate of nations are in their grasp.
“In our land, none have risen by
that path. It is only the new-found
isms now being tried that Pennsyl-
vanians have dared to pave a road to
prestige and power upon the tears and
misery of helpless women and chil-
dren.
“Those now in control of our State
have chosen to try to build that road,
on which to ride into four years more
of power to privilege and power.
“That is what I am fighting. I am
' against it in any form. I am against
. dictatorship, against corruption in of-
fice, against regimentation and cen-
tralization. I am against either
crushing or luring a people into polit-
ical slavery.
“And that is why I am so grateful
to the youth of Pennsylvania for the
aid and the comfort they have given
me in this fight.
“I am proud and honored to have
attracted to my cause so large a num-
ber of Young Pennsylvanians. I wel-
come them to my side in the present
campaign, and I welcome their help
in the further tasks before us. Those
tasks are many. The main undertak-
ing is to lift the burden of fear and
misery from the hearts of the men
and women of this State. ;
«But we shall have a great job of
housecleaning—not a spring house-
cleaning, but a January houseclean-
ing. We must sweep greed and cor-
ruption from the corridors of the
State Capitol. We must organize a
state administration that will be hon-
est and business-like, thrifty and
prudent, and liberal; and administra-
tion that will account for every dollar
of its expenditures with a dollar's
worth of service, one that will be re-
sponsive to the people of this State,
and one that will be guided by the
fixed principles of the American tradi-
tion and the American constitution.
- “Further, we must continue in our
work of revitalizing our party. We
must remember the mistakes of the
past for the purpose of avoiding them
in the future. We must constantly
keep the Republican party alive and
“alert to the needs and to the senti-,
ments of the men and women of our
State. We must build for the future
on those same courageous and stead-
fast principles which this year at-
young people before us.
| “For these tasks, we need both un-
i selfish service and leadership. The
marches on through the years, sits
before me tonight. From the ranks
of you young people will come those
who in future years will guide the
destinies of our commonwealth. I
pledge to the young people of this
State a larger share in the conduct
of the State’s Government.
“This is an age where the older
people, who have suffered the trag-
edy of the depression, need the cour-
age and vigor of youth. For a gov-
ernment to be successful, we must
recognize that youth has a .definite
place in the administration of the af-
fairs of this Commonwealth.
“For those of you who may wish
to enter the political arena and there
to do your share in the advancement
of those.things in which you believe,
I should like tonight to give you a
very simple thought:
“Never forget that to all of us
comes the time when we must return
home.
“I do not mean that in the religious
sense—that after this life comes a
Day of Judgment when we must face
our sins—though its application in
that wa yis most forceful. I mean
it literally; that no matter to what
heights we may rise, no matter how
rich or illustrious we may become, no
matter how great the power we may
wield, each of us must answer in the
end to the friends of our childhood,
to the associates of our youth, to the
i and homefolks of our adult
ife.
“No man can escape that fact. It
is, with some of us, the greatest spur
to achievement and to probity.
“Of no fact in life am I prouder
than of the growing esteem and
friendship with which the men and
women of my own community have
seen proper to honor me. No single
row of figures could delight me more
than do the election returns from
Luzerne County—rising as they do
from the 1500 majority of twenty
years ago to the 46,000 majority of
last Spring.
“These figures tell me, as they tei
the entire world, that neither Arthuc
James nor his record of public strvice
in this county have been forgotten by
those who knew him best, ard my
pride in them likewise will tell who-
ever knows of it that Arthur James
has not forgotten the friends and
neighbors of his youth.
“These are my people, these men
and women of Plymouth, of Old Shaw-
nee, of all this great county. Here I
was born. Here I grew up. Here I
faced the problems of finaing a car-
eer, the day-to-day problems of earn-
ing a living, and of adapting the
tumultuous spirit of a red-lieaded
breaker boy to the more serious sides
of existence.
“Here I married. Here my children
were born and raised. Here has been
my home all the days of my life.
Here are buried loved ones who did
so much to brighten the years in
which they were spared to re.
“No truer words have been spoken,
in all the thousands which have been
uttered during this campaign, than
these:
“‘When I left that coal mine in
Plymouth, I left my heart with the
people in it and tonight, Judge or no
Judge, it’s still there.’
“But there is another compelling
thought. Four years from now, long
after this election has been forgotten,
and as my term as governor draws to
its end, here is where I shall return
to live out what remains to me of life.
“Those who speak of my promises
and pledges as being light things, not
worthy of the consideration of the
men and women of this State, forget
that fact.
“My good name in Luzerne County
is the one thing which I prize far
above all else. I would rather have
the continued love and respect of
these people at home than the gov-
ernorship of Pennsylvania or any oth-
er gift at any hands.
