GREAT FIGHT
 ANTICIPATED Union Labor Aroused by
 Decision. EXECUTIVE COUNCIL TO MEET - Court Decision Causes Considerable
 Anxiety. From cauaaa comes Predistaen Thss the Peace Of the Republic will ss Threntened by the
 Case.
EXECUTIVE COUNCIL TO MEET

washington, Dec. 24.--The whole a,est,on of the sentencing for con- tempt of court Of President Gompers Vice President Mitchell and Secretary Morrison of the American Federation of Labor by Justice Wright in the cu- oreme Court of the District of Coium- bia vesterday will be tnreshed over af A meeting of the Executive Coun- cil of the Federation to be held in this city January II next
 The meeting, while regularly scheduled one. will be notable un- doubtediy because of the vital isauss affecting labor involved in the action of the court.
 Resolutions sugtaining the atsitnae Of the leaders of the big organization with it's thirty thousand odd counsels and two millions of members VIII pc submitted for action and the policy of the Feedration in view of the courts action, and scathing arraignments carried in the decision will be out lined. President Gompers was not at hib oface today and no information waa given out there as to where he could be found.
 Secretary Morrison. who was given the slightest sentence of the three Ieaders--six monthH--was at the Eed- eration headquarters, however. busy with his routine dutiea Active steps in the framing of the fight against inc carrying out of the sentences are not likely until next week and Secre- tary Morrison said today the plan so far as the officials of the Federation themselves force is to do nothing about 1t until after the holidays
 It Is not likely that arguments on the appeal will be heard in the court ..s.1.Na kta r1fmf~4of aF Cofur1ffa until March and perhaps not then. The defendants have forty days In which to present their appeal and on a proper chewing the court in its dis cretion may extend the time. It is mandatory, however, that the appeal bond must be filed within two days.
 Tn view of the great importance of ik has provoked thr0ugiiout the coun- try, 1t is the general feeling here that the hearing before the Court of Ap. peals will be a lengthy opes bringing together noted counsel on both sides.
 Should the upper court eustain the ruling of Justice Wright and a furth- CT appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States - be granted the case necessarily would not come up for de- eision In the highest tribunal in the land until the fall term, which begins next October.
 Many telegrams have reached the White House from labor leaders in ali parts of the country protesting against the sentence Imposed upon oompers. Mitchell and Morrison. The President has turned all of them over to Attorney General Bonaparte for such- consideration as 1t may be de- termined to give them It ts expect ed that the Presidents mail on this subject will be heavy in the next few days
 The President and Attorney Gener- al will read all the testimony in the case and will then decide what action if any. will be taken.

would be set aside Then why should
any republican vote sgainst the pro
gress which Mr.. Roosevelt has made
In the administration Of Justice? Why
should he vote to place in power a
man of no firm principles? In short,
can there be any sufficient reason
why Mr. Bryan should be elected?
Mr. Taft's speech OF acceptance is
a strong logical argument which Mr..
Bryan cannot refute. He sets forth
the doctrines OF The republican party
in a logical way, which makes it con-
yincing to the average reader. Any
man who will take the time to give
it careful study will surely come 10
the conclusion that the republican
policies which he advocates are the
best policies for this country. In clos
ing his speech, he said: Il have point
ed out the attitude of the republican
party with reference to evils which
have crept in, due to the enormous
material expansion of this country, is
TO continue the Roosevelt policies OF
progress and regulation, while the at
titude OF the democratic party under
It's present leadership is the change
for the sake of change 10 the point OF
irresponsible destruction, and that
there is no hope whatever or a re-
storation OF prosperity in returning it
to power. AS said m our platform,
we republicans go before the country
asking the support not only of those
who have acted with us heretofore,
but OF all our fellov-citizens who re-
CARELESS of past political differences
unite in the desire to maintain the
policies, perpetuate the blessings and
make secure the achievements of
greater America"

Tue republican nominating conven-
ton will be held on the 8tE OF August
hen nominations will be made for
the various county Offices. That there
will be quite good many candidates
disappointed there can be no ques-
tiom, FOR there are several candidates
for each office. IT is to be hoped
that the convention will be conducted
i'm a spirit of fairness so that no dis
apppointed candidates can have any
particular grievance because he was
not selected as . nominee. When so
many men are seeking Office it is
hard to make a selection but those
who receive the most votes mu be
regarded as the strongest candidates,
as friendship counts but little in a
political convention. Let every man,
who fails to secure the nomination
for the particular Office which he is
seeking, determine to help elect the
fortunate candidate; then there will
DE no question: about the result of the
election next fall.

Is there any real good logical rea-
son why a republican should vote the
democratic ticket? Has the republi-
can party promised anything that IT
has failed TO fulfill? Are there UNI
broken promises which remain I'M
touched by republican legislation? II
not, the republican party deserves
your vote just as much now as it ever
did He vino is well acquainted with
the republican platform of four years
ago is well aware that a republican
administration went farther in pass
Ing beneficial measures than it really
promised to do. The Roosevelt pol
fcies have become as much a part OF
our government as law itself. They
have proved to be of vast good, and
no republican could be elected to any
high position who would dare to de-
nounce those policies. Mr.. Roosevelt
has placed this government upon high
plane. and he who seeks to destroy
the good work he has done win find
himself defeated by tremendous ma
jority. Mr.. Bryan repudiates the
Roosevelt policies, and If he were
elected president those policies which
have done so much toward purifying
-sthe business interests OF the country

The recent panic which threatened

thing of the past. Every day witnesses
the fact that idle mills are beginning
to resume business as usual, and
thousands of men are being employed.
The daily newspapers are constantly
stating that hundreds of idle cars are
being brought into sFvice again, which
must make the democratic calamity
howlers have political fit. A few
months ago they predicted that the
greatest panic his country ever ex-
perienced would soon be upon us, and
that hundreds of soup houses would
be established over the country to
feed the hungry laboring man. AS
could be expected, such prophesies
amount to naught Now that business
has again esumed its usual activity
the democratic party is at loss to
explain the cause. But it can con-
fidently be expected that it will in

are always short-lived. The truth is,
the country is now in a flourishing
condition. and times are improving
every day. Wages are constantly be-
ing increased; hence the laboring man
is satisfied with his present conaltion
Every well-informed man knows the
rsult of the Wilson bill which so
completely paralyzed business that 1t
was i'm possible to get employment
anywhere, and that as soon as Me

improve Thus the recent panic,

not a circums tance.
