GOP political candidates .in the upcoming election nailed Democrats to the mast of inefficiency, reneged promises, wastefulness and general unfitness at a dinner rally Friday night at Potato City. Attendance was put at over 350.

Three members of the State ticket, together with Congressman Alvin R. Bush, Sen. James S. Berger and Ray C. Goodrich, Roulette, candidate for State Representative, were heard. Palmer R. Chitester, county Republican Committee Chairman, presided.
State-wide candidate, presented by Senator Berger, included G. Harold Watkins, candidate for superior court; Charles C. Smith, candidate for auditor general, and Robert F. Kent, seeking the treasurer's post.
Sen. James H. Duff, incumbent United States Senator and candidate for re-election, was unable to attend. He had been called to New York City by the State and national party committees to make television shorts, it was explained.
Benjamin Jones, candidate for, supreme court, also was unable to attend.
The assemblage included Rep. Albert Johnson, McKean County; Harry Mclnroy, Tioga County State Representative; Howard H. Glenn, Coudersport, State Committeeman; William H. Biesel, finance chairman, county committee; Mrs. G. A. Mitchell, vice chairman, county committee; Don Freeman, chairman, Citizens for Eisenhower in Potter County; Mrs. Edward Fisher, chairman, Women for Eisenhower. Also, G. Robert Heimel, chairman.

Duvall, chairman, Young Republican Club of Potter County.
Also, Judge Walter P. Wells and former judge Robert R. Lewis. All were Introduced by Mr. Chitester.
Keynote of speeches was the urgency of returning Dwight D. Eisenhower to the White House. Seen as subordinate but given almost equal weight was the importance of giving Eisenhower a Republican Congress. At the State level, a GOP-controlled House and Senate was called vital 'if Pennsylvania's "extravagant governor is to be curbed for the next two years."
