Show KtiliCKT I'OMTIl S Conservative citizens everywhere will deplore the attempt on the part of some of our misguided statesme to reopen the party fights that have 1 ecu our custom in years past. Nothing Noth-ing at this time could be worse for the country than a bitter political fight throughout the land. Every interest in-terest of the country demands unity . of sentiment and action. Republican politicians could not hope for advantage advan-tage except at the expense of great harm to their country, and such action ac-tion on the part of Democrats could be nothing but suicidal. Doubtless there have been mistakes mis-takes made and blunders committed what administration has been free from them? But these mistakes have not been such as to call for a political upheaval. We are not ready to admit to our enmy that our leaders lead-ers have been unequal to the task required re-quired of them. If the malcontents will lay aside personal ambitions and put their shoulders to the wheel in an honest endeavor to achieve the great task before us, they will find their ambitions much surer of attainment than by instigating a fight that could have no other effect than to emhar-I emhar-I rass the administration, i If Republican leaders will take Ex-Secretary Ex-Secretary Roots advice and forget j that they have any political bias, and if the administration will remember ; that the patriotism of Republicans is just as deep and fervid as their own, I we will win through to a glorious vic-i vic-i tory. Nothing could give our enemy more comfort at this time than for Americans to revive old political contests con-tests and reopen old political sores. |
