ON MOTORIZATION

Discuss Plans.

Complete harmony reigned at the con-
ference last night of the board .of pubIic
safety with members Of the city council
upon the bids for the supplying Of an
paratus necessary in the complete motor
ization Of the fire department City Pur-
chasing Agent Dwight S. Ritter. who
was present in an advisory capacity, re-
ported today.
Early in the year the council indicated
it would refuse absolutely to ratify a
contract for the purchase of the appa-
ratus If the board OF safety did not
act upon bids received at that time.
From expressions of counci1men last
night, however, Mr.. Ritter said he was
led to believe the council will ratify the
contracts this time.
Because Councilmen GustaveG. Schmidt,
Sumner a. Furniss and Lee J. Kirsch
were not present for the whole conference
another will be held following the special
meeting expected to be held Monday eve
ming to ratify the amendment to the Cit
liens Gas Company's franchise.
The purpose Of the conference. Mr.
Ritter said. was for the board of safety
TO lay before the council all the infor-
nation 1t has about the bids which haze,
been received to ascertain in advance
how far the council viii go in ratifying
the contract award the board makes.
Various points of discussion in the
meeting were not disclosed but it is
known that city officials have been In
ciined to favor the awarding Of the con-
tract to the Stutz Fire Apparatus Cons-.
pany because it is local concern and
can supply parts for pairs quicker aud
more conveniently than an outside COM
Germ.
Board members A. L. Taegart and
Henry Dithmer and CounciInen w r.
Peake Louis w. Carnehx. Russell Wilson,
o. b. PcttijohR, Jacob r. Brown aud
Jesse e. Miller were present.

poses TO buy consists Of eighteen 600

whittlesey of the famous Lost Bat
talon and Capt George II. GiIlin Of
the Disabled Soldiers League.
The spea kers made statements which
aroused the gathering, so far as to con-
vert Republicans to Democracy.
Captain GiIlin said that at one time
three disabled veterans OF the war ap-
peared before Congressman Warren and
asked him to provide relief for wounded
men-one had lost leg and the other
two were blind-and that Congressman
warren's answer to the disabled veter-
ans was "Go 20 hell
"You don't have to take my word for

"Now, l want to know If you Repub-
licans in this audience are going TO

ported by pro-Germans such as that
great obiector V.erick, and men OF the

'If you Republicans want to align
yourself with that type of men and cast
your votes with them, and for such poll

MAN
DENOUNCES BILL
Pleads for Election of Spaan
and Taggart.

John F. McNamee OF Cleveland. Ohio,
editor Of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemens Magazine, in an
address to a large gathering last night,
urged all railroad employees and all other
workers and. as he put it. ''all citizens
who believe in a government of, for and
by the people," to support Henry n.
Spaan In this district for Congress and
Thomas Taggart in the State for United
States Senator.
Mr.. McNamee declared that II the peo-
pie generally could understand how the
public treasury has been plundered
through the passage Of the Esch- Cummins
law every member of-congress who voted
for that law would be overwhelmingly
defeated and repudiated.
He said that the Each- -Cummins law
simply meant the validating and indors-
Ing by Congress Of eight billion dollars
or fictitious or watered stock which was
included in the twenty billion dollar val
uation put on the railroads by their pres
ent owners for rate-making purposes and
accepted under the Esch-Cummins law by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
He also called attention to the rate
making, which meant the fixing of freight
and passenger rates which win guaran-
tee oP2 Pti tebt AetutAS 70 tHe VhhSAs vi
all railroad securities and II per cent
additional for betterments and exten-
sions.
He said the Esch-Cummins law i'm
posed involuntarily servitude on the rail-
road workers while handing billions Of
dollars over to the railroad owners and
that the Government would be just as
much justified in guaranteeing returns
to automobile factories, department stores
or any other industry or business.
lie said 1t was a bounden duty the
people owe themselves to defeat every
one of the Indiana congressman who are
seeking reelection and to elect Thomas
Taggart to the United States Senate, and
he urged upon his hearers to put forth
their very best efforts in Marion County
to elect Henry n. Spaan to Congress-
