ANTICS OF ANDREWS.

cans.
MORE ELoQUENoE is NEEDED.

So Says Frisky Frank as a Reason why He
should Break Into the CounciI-Labor's
Attitude Is Proving q yexatious CUES
ton to the Wo1Id-be Local States
man.
The main excuse offered By the re-
publican aldermanic aspirant, Frank
Andrews, in the Third ward, for his
purpose to bolt into the council cham
Der is that there is not now in that
body an orator worthy of the name.
From this it may be inferred that
| chief-much-talk cherishes an ambi-
ton of his own that fortunately. or
| unfortunately. will never be realized.
But Andrews has discovered that
neither the burning eloquence nor the
extraordinary literary talent, with
which he has convinced himself he is
endowed. will win his fight for him.
Nor will his oVerpowering Importance
as the man about the court house.
While the irrepressible Frank made
his presence in republican councils
felt in the disposition of the fruits of
victory following the last county cleo
ton, and again claimed the glory of
the success of Freed in the Third
ward last spring. there is one feature
of his method of campaigning here
tofore, that has been effectually
exploded in the present instance.
He no longer poses as the undisputed
representative of organized labor in
the three lower wards. Frank has
worked the organized labor racket to
a finish. proper. He has in the pres
ent campaign been busy eX-
planning, or attempting to explain, to
organized labor and it's representa-
tives. questions that have arisen con-
corning the consistency of his position
as a professed expounder of the doc
trine of union labor. There was a
time in Andrews somewhat remarka-
bic career, but before he determined
TO make politics his life work, when
he failed to stand the test of his devo-
ton; in other words, whGn in the prac-
tical application of the theory, the
non-union man, or men, rather. got
the favor. There is large percent
age Of union men in Rock Island, men
who are so identified because of the
principles involved. and with no
thought of personal or political gain
or advantage, who have refused to be
CdTTIeu AWAY WITH tue luhnHeE VI
men who, although ever thrusting
themselves into prominence in the
meetings of organized labor, have not
presented the instance wherein their
acts have sustained their professions.
MIR. Andrews' Dreams.
Mr.. Andrews may be tower OF
strength in his own party. he may be
all that he considers himself otherwise.
He may even have pictured in the
airy fairy castles of his Imagination,
the illumination of the entire city
from the flames issuing from the
council chamber at the city hall
on the occasions when the oratory of
the Third ward statesman of the flu
ture shall fire the hearts of his col
leagues-and who knows but the
building as well. MIR. Andrews
may have seen the hosts of organized
labor pay homage to intelligent
leadership, and he the hero of the
occasion. But the signs of the times
are that there is in store for Mr.. An
drews only rude awakening, and
the realization that he has been evan
dering in dreamland where happiness
