Patrio@sm Above Partisanship

The cTyang, the vital need now
is that the men who next june
assemble at Chicago from the
forty eight states and mingle the
view Of the entire country shall
act with the same lofty devo-
ton to the interest Of our Nation
as a whole which was shown in
the original C Continental Congress
Theodore Roosevelt's letter to
Harry L. Stoddard.
With this sentiment The jour-
nal is in enthusiastic accord. Not
once, but many times:of late has
this newspaper expressed tt;
opinion that the. special need Of
all Americans at this time is
to think and act in the spirit Of
the mem who watched by the Grad
lie Of the Republic. The spirit Of
the first Continental Congress-
Yes, and the spirit b:hind the
guns at Lexington and Mon
mouth and Bunker Hill.
If the delegates to the Repnb-
ican National Convention act
in that spirit, they will make no
mistake. They will make no mis-
take because they will have only
one thought whose expression
would be: "Our Country" They
put patriotism above partisan
ship. They will refuse to waste
time with the petty int1igues OF
machine politics. They will for
get, the gall and the wormwood
of other years. They will bind
up the wounds Of other cam
paigns.
This they will do-i.f they go
to the Convention in the same
spirit with which the signers Of
the Declaration Of independence
went to the Convention in Phila-
delp(hia. They will be sobered;
by the solemn responsibility Of
choosing candidate who, un-
less all signs fail, will guide
the destines Of this Nation
through four of the most mo-
mentous years of its history.
This they will do-if they wor
together in the Convention in
the same spirit. in 4. which the
soldiers Of the Revolution fought,
They will work to make the
choice Of the Convention an
American first and q Republican
aftterward. They will make any
sacrifi e Of personal preference
in order to agree on q candi-
date who will insist that this
country be able to defend itself,
on land and on sea, against any
dnNadOr.
And IN rendering this great
service to their Country they
will nomMlate no swashbuckler,
no hairtrigger in trousers, but
a man Of broad experience, Of
ripe statesmanship, and of sour
and deliberate judgment. They

FIGHT FOR 8-HOUR DAY
LABOR CHIEF PREDICTS CHANGE
FOR ALL CLASSES OF LABOR.
Gompers Would Defy Roads and Warns
Capital That Labor Will "ShoW
Claws"

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 23.-Organized
labor threw it's millions of workers
into the scale against the railroads
millions of dollars here on Tuesday in
one of the most tUmultuOus days in Ia
boris history.
Five hundred delegates to the
American Federation of Labor conven-
ton yelled their approval when Sam
uel Gompers declared the railroad
employees should strike January 1 If
the AdamsOn law was not put into eff
feet by the railroads.
Accepting the challenge" as he
termed 1t, the federation pledged the
undivided and unqualified support of
every man and woman in the fedora
ton, whatever may arise, whatever
may betide," to the four great railroad
brOtherhoOds in the approaching crisis.
1t also threw its entire force behind
the movement for a universal eight
hour day. Mr.. GOmpers declared that
the eight-billion-dOllar combination Of
employers formed in New York to fight
labor should be shown that some
times the working people had teeth
and claws"
Il am about anarchist enough to
say that we are going to work for the
eight-hOur day for all classes. If we
can't get it peaceably we will fight
for it,"

the Supreme Court of the United
States for final decision, and instruct
ed them, through their attorneys, to
invite the representatives of every
railroad in this country to participate
in the hearings before the highest
court in the land.
This was requested in the govern
ments motion to dismiss the injunc-
ton petition of the railroad, the gov
ernment desiring to avoid prolonged,
unnecessary and scattered litigation
through the hearing of countless SINH
lar suits filed by every rail system in
very federal district in the United
States through which their lines run"
Following Judge Hooks decision,
Frank Hagerman, special counsel for
the government gave notice of an ap-
peal which was certified by the court

VILLAS AUTO HIT
BANDIT MOUNTS HIS sTEED AND
MAKES oET-AWAY-FIERcE
BATTLE IN STREET
OF chiuhuahua City, But Outlaws Are
chased-Losses on Both Sides
Said To Be Heavy.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Chihuahua City, Mexico.-FranciscO
Villas automobile, which was being
used by him to direct his campaign
against the Carranza troops, was
struck by shell fire and was abandon
ed near Fresno, southwest of the city.
The shell holes and bullet marks were
painly seen on the sides of the big
automobile when it was found on the
battle field after Villa abandoned it and
rode awy on horseback. The battle
started soon after the telegraphic COM
municatiOn with Juarez was cut. The
bandits attack covered the entire
southern front, with fianking opera
tions to the east and west
The most desperate fighting took
place on Zarco avenue, within the city.
The bandits threw their best equipped
forces against the entrenchments,
which had been thrown up across this
street, and street fighting followed.
The Villa forces made every possible
effort to take these entrenchments,
which were the key to the defenses OF
the city proper. The de facto infantry
met these charges with counter
charges and the battle waged
back and forth in this narrow street
until the Villa bandits were driven out
of the mouth of the avenue onto the
plains, where they were raked with
machine-gun fire from the house tops,
and the artillery fire which had sup
ported effectively the infantry efforts

field pieces was said to deafen.

stationed on the Santa Rosa and other
hills in the suburbs of Chihuahua City,
military men in Juarez say, and there
were several French 75s included in
this number
