The editorial department of The

last week relative TO the fusion OF
political parties in the past II was
not done by the Republicans, but by
the Democrats, Populistics and Silver
Republicans The difficulty was eX-
porieneed In getting candidates of the
parties to step aside when by holding
out election was certain. The can
didacy OF Tom Patterson for the gov

he secured the fusion election to the

1t will be remembered that the leg
isIative committee of Columbia lodge
No. 174, International Association of
Machinists of Washington, d. c., has
unqualifedly endorsed Congressman
Tavenner as a friend of labor. This
organization, having headquarters at
the capital, has been especially desig-
mated by labor to get a line on mem
bers of congress. On the eve of cleo
ton it is well to again peruse that en-
dorsement so as to know how Mr.. Tav-
enner stands with labor. Here it is:
International Association of Ma
chinists, Washington, D. c., Oct. II,
1914-To Members of Organized La
Dor, Greeting: Dear Sir and Brother:
At regular meeting of Columbia
Lodge No. ia. International Associa
ton of Machinists, which is the larg
est lodge of machinists in the United
States, the Honorable Clyde H. Tav
enner of the Fourteenth district of
Illinois was endorsed for reelection to
congress by a unanimous vote. Our
membership, being located in the cap
ital of the United States, it has the ad-
vantage of being able to judge at first
gress; and they feel that when a mem
Der of congress shows special interest
in labor questions, he should be given
recognition therefor.
Mr.. Tavenner is man who has the
courage of his convictions, and has
been conspicuous in his efforts to Sc
cure the passage of measures in which
labor is interested.
He has not hesitated to incur the
enmity of powerful influences whether
they be manufacturers, members of
congress in sympathy with such in
terests, or others. Whenever it has
come to a question of deciding for or
against the interests of labor, he has
invariably stood with us.
His work on behalf of the working
people has also extended into the field
of Journalism, where daily through
his newspaper bureau he has dealt
powerful arguments against special
privilege and the oppressors of the
people. This service has covered hun
dreds of newspapers daily, and has
been of invaluable benefit in getting
public opinion in our favor on many
questions.
Some of the questions upon which
he has been especially conspicuous
and active in congress are as follows:
l. Attacking the ammunition ring
and the armor ring, both of which
have grossly overcharged the govern
ment to the extent of millions of dol
lars.
?. Fighting the Introduction of the |
Taylor system in the goyerRWenh

AUTO FIRE TRUCK
ARRIVES IN CITY
Device for Station No. 5 Deliv-
cred and Tests Are
Being Made.
SAME MAKE AS OTHER ONE
Duplicate of Apparatus Purchased by
City Year Ago With Excep-
ton Has No Pump.

The new 104-horsepower motor fire
truck for station No. ). at the corner
OF Eighteenth avenue and Ninth street,
arrived today, having been driven over
land from Streator, Ill, a distance of
some 100 miles. The device was dem
onstrated to Streator officials and ar
rived there from the EImira, y. Y,
factory of the American La France
Motor Truck company Saturday, hav-
ing been shipped by train
The new truck represents an expend-
iture of $4,000 and is an exact dupli-
cate of the one purchased for the Cen
trail station a year ago at an outlay OF
$4,000, with the exception that the No.
truck has no pumping attachment
Ten r. Johnson and William Bruce,
the former sales agent and the latter
demonstration of the truck, arrived
with the car, as did Fire Chief Owens
of Streator. Mr. Bruce will demon
strate the truck and conduct the tests
to prove to the city officials that the
car is o. X. before it is accepted.
Tests started today, and will include
the climbing of all hills in the three
cities.
1t is still in the hands of workmen
who are putting on the finishing touch
es, and it is presumed that by Dec.
the new house will be completed.
The truck will be kept at the central
fire station until the other station is
completed. The new station is to
have all motorized equipment.
More improvements Needed.
Commissioner Archie Hart, who has
charge of the fire department, gave a
resume of what had been accomplish
ed and the needed equipment of the
department, in an interview this morn
ing. He said:
The next thing that we need is a
new station for No. 3, which is located
a Seventh avenue and Thirty-first
street. The present building is only
q she'll 1t is dilapidated and there is
little chance to keep it warm. When
the wind blows the building shakes.
1T needs a motor truck to replace
the horse-drawn vehicles We also
need an aerial ladder truck for the
business section of the city.
The next most important is repairs
to central station. Temporary re-
pairs were made this year. We have
spent a good deal of our appropriation
for new hose and of course a thorough
and longneeded overhauling of the
stations and equipment was thus pos
sible.
But. taking it all in all, our fire
and that is the most important of all.

DEATH OCCURS SUDDENLY

Another one of Rock Islands plo-

John B. Littig, 73 years of age, passed
away suddenly today at the home oil
his daughter, Mrs. Mary French, ~
Sixth avenue Although he had been
failing for many years, his death was
unexpected. He arose about O'Clock
and complained OF feeling very tired,
and was sitting in a chair i'll the
kitchen of the home when he sudden
" lurched forward and expired before
a physician could be called. Mr.. Littig
had been under the care of a physl-
clan for the last six months. Heart
disease, coupled with infirmities of age
is given as the cause for his demise.
Mr.. Littig was born in Paris, France,
Nov. IL. 1910, and would have cele-
brated his 74th birthday a week from
Wednesday, The family came to thls
country when he was but years OF
age, settling in this city in 1S45. Rock

public schools here, and later learned
the stonemason's trade. He was en-
ployed at the Rock Island arsenal dur

Tavenner is Friend of Labor as
Washington Endorsement Shows

3. Urging the adoption of measures
munitions of war shall be manufac-
tured in government arsenals.
f. Working to obtain an investiga-
ton of the Colorado coal strike after
the house rules committee had turned
down investigation.
That his efforts have borne fruit is
shown by the fact that a clause was
inserted in the army and fertilization
appropriation bills providing that at
least 80 per cent of the materials of
war should be manufactured in govern
ment arsenals; a bill which aims to
curb the Taylor system in government
shops has been favorably reported
from committee: a clause was insert
ed in the naval appropriation bill for
an investigation as to the cost of a
government armor plate factory, with
a view to build one in the near future;
and the investigation of the Colorado
coal strike was ordered.
1t has been brought to our attention
that a determined fight is being made
upon Mr.. Tavenner by the manufactur
ing interests, and that his work in
congress on behalf of labor is being
urged as reason for his defeat.
Now brother, in order to retain our
prestige with members of congress,
we must not allow those who conspic-
uously fight our battles to be defeated
by reason of their loyalty to us. -,
AS certainly as we successfully sup
port those who are willing to leopard
ize their political futures in our behalf,
just that certain are we to get remed
ial legislation in the future.
Whether you are a democrat or not,
we trust you will not allow anything
to keep you from going to the polls
on election day and voting for Mr..
Tavenner; and we further urge upon
you individually to pledge yourself to
secure at least one other voter to do
so. In order to be effective select
some one who either had intended to
stay away from the polls, or who had
intended to vote for Mr.. Tavenner's
opponents.
The result will answer the question,
as IL worth while for congressman
to do anything for labor?"
Hoping this will appear as import
ant to you as IL does to us, and with
best wishes, we remain,

Oscar E. Erickson and Ralph Grant,
appealed to the mayor to gain them
the privilege of taking the eXamina-
tion to become boss plumbers. The
mayor interviewed in their behalf, both
passed and were given the licenses
they desired. Erickson continues in
business in Moline today as boss
plumber. Mr. Olson simply went to
the front for a couple OF young mel
who were seeking to better their con-
ditions in life. Another eleventh hour
story is that Mr.. Olson was unfair TO
union labor while police magistrate OF
Moline. The righteousness of this
assertion is appreciated when it is
known that Mr.. Olson was backed by
union labor in his campaign for mayor

made while police magistrate.
