POLES CHEER TAFT
Polish Republican Club Holds
Great Rally at Germania Ha
Friday Evening


The Polish people of the city are in
line for Taft and Sherman and this
fact was clearly demonstrated last
night when the Polish Republican Club
of the city held it's first big rally of
the campaign at Germania Hall. There
was band out and when the meeting
was called to order by President Frank
MenzfeldoWski there were fully three
hundred people in the room. Nearly
all OF the leaders among the Polish
people Of the city were present and
took part in the meeting. Cashier
Nowacki was introduced as chairman of
the meeting and with him on the plat
form was large number of the lead.
ing Republicans Of the city including
the county candidates.
The orator for the evening was
Casimer Zychllnslli, editor Of Polish
paper in Milwaukee and he made a
great speech rousing the members of
the big gathering to great bursts of
enthusiasm.
In his address Zychlinski told of
the work of the Republican party
for the aliens in the country and show
ed that the Republican administration
of the affairs of the country had al
ways been attended with prosperity
and plenty Of work for the laboring
men. He declared that the Democratic
administration had brought to the
aliens the first soup houses that they
had seen in the United States. To clos
ing his address Mr. Zychlinski paid a
great tribute to the leaders of tho
Republican party and the names Of
Taft and Roosevelt brought repeated
cheers from the members Of the large
audience.
The Polish Republican Club is one
of the most active political organiza
tions in the city. 1t has been in ex-
istence for number of years and has
a large number of members.
Republican leaders claim that for
eigners in Kenosha almost without ex-
ception are in favor Of Republican rule.
These people come from countries
which have long tried the tariff for
revenue only proposition and all of
them are enthusiastically in favor of
the protective tariff and other policies
of the Republican party
Not only are the Poles organized,
but the Lithuanians have a Republican
Club and one is now being formed
among the Italians of the city. Many
of the leaders Of these clubs are taking
an active interest in the work that is
being done about the county.
It is planned to have another meet
ing for the Polish Republicans before
the close of the campaign

MANY WERE INJURED
Report Of State Labor Bureau
Shows Many Workmen Injured
During Year Just Closed


The thirteenth biennial report Of the
state bureau of labor and industrial
statistics relating to industrial acct
dents and employers liability in the
state show that 1882 persons were
injured during the year from Oct L.,
1906, to Oct. l, 1907, an increase over
the preceding year of 1901. Of the
total number 50 per cent were persons
injured in their employment, the re-
mainder being accidents of those either
not at work or at work for themselves
1t may be said that any figure giving
the per cent that fatal accidents are
Of all accidents is treacnerous because
Of the vagueness Of the term "acci-
dent. To be counted in WISCONSIN
an accident must occasion disability Of
at least two weeks.
The report is in part as follows:
"FProbably less than onesixth of
industrial accidents are due to the
fault of the employer Detailed invcs-
tigation of 238 cases by Wisconsin fac
tory inspectors show that 23.53 per cent
were due to the worllingman; 52.11 per
cent were due to the hazard of the
industry and 11.35 per cent due to the
fault of the employer, But if the
standard is extraordinary care, acct
dents to the hazard of the industry
are decreased and those due to specific
individuals increased. Fh II is a ten
dency for accidents to be more numer-
Gus in the late summer or fall. Ma
chinery is the most important source
Of accident.
Ono satisfactory i ulstic5 covering
a period of years can be glen re
garding the increase of accidents in
Wisconsin, and not even for railroad
accidents, There is marked increase
in the absolute number of railway
employees killed and injured.
Modification in the common law in
Wisconsin indicates that the employers
defense will be still further weak
ened in the future unless some system
of workmen s insurance is adopted
This would mean higher rates to be
charged by liability companies.
cit is inevitable that the existing
method of settling claims arising out
Of accidents to wof.lmen while at work
can be greatly improved. LII some
manner we should introduce the idea
of insurance, which practically disre-
CARDS the idea of negligence. Perhaps
it would be best to first test the con-
stitutionality Of making all employers
liable to moderate benefits, amounting
on an average to as much as they
would pay under the present system.
" In fact, number Of bile rnght be
passed, each capable of standing alone,
yet supplementing the others. Such
would be in substance:
Extend the law regarding the rail
way industry to other employments.
"Give the workman the option of
proceeding under the law of negli-
gence or under a law Of compulsory
liability that disregards negligence,
but not both.
"Require complete reports from en-
ployers liability insurance companies.
'Provide for voluntary co-opera-
tive insurance fund
"The combining and choosing Of
these plans is the work Of the Iegis
lator.

HELD FOR TRIAL
Charles Becker Charged With Throwing
Tar on Ferdinand Nrah Held
(From SATURDAYS Dailv)

(From Saturdays Daily
Charles Becker, engineer at the Allen
tannery, arrested short time ago on
the complaint Of Ferdinand Krah who
charged him with assault with intent
to do great bodily harm, was held to
the Circuit Court in bonds of $500 by
Justice MeCarron this morning. Becker
was charged with pouring bucket of
tar over Krah. His defense was that
the tar had been arranged with a trap
to catch man who had repeatedly
turned off a certain water faucet con
nected with the sprinkler system at the
tannery. Krah and Police Officer LIE
elise were the only witnesses for the
state in the case. Krah told the story
of the assault and LeGlise stated that
Becker had told him that he had thrown
the tar. The case will probably not
be taken up until the March term of
the Circuit Court

Duncan Invaded by the Republicans.

Last Saturday night was republic
can night in Duncan, and the good
citizens of that town turned the
keys over to the visitors. A special
train was run over the A. g. N. NJ.
railway and about 300 people took
advantage of the free ride. The
weather was cool, making the trip a
most pleasant one. Old Ralph, the
magnetic campaigner, though there
are but three republicans in Duncan,
dropped in there Saturday and spent
the day meeting the people. Before
vited nearly every citizen to the
Hobbs hall to hear the speaking and
enjoy dancing. Speeches were made
by Dell Potter, Ralph Cameron and
Joe Morrison, and the Duncan people
listened with much interest. All of
the speakers were applauded at num-
erous times and it. is thought that
Ralph succeeded in making a few
new friends there who are going to
go with him for a change.
j. L. Z. Walters, who has been
postmaster at Duncan for many
years, and one of the leading repub-
licans of Graham county, presided
over the meeting in most judicious
manner. Everyone who went to the
valley city had d good time and will
be ready for the next trip. While in
Duncan Ralph learned that Mark
Smith had given the town a beauti-
full silk flag and during the course of
his speech remarked that if Duncan
gave him a majority and he was
elected he would present them with
two flags with the new star of Ari-
IONA on them.
The Hobbs hall, which has large
seating capacity, was well filled with
Duncan people before the Clifton
delegation arrived. The ladies were
in evidence and besides having a
good time dancing with Ralph, seemed
To enjov the remarks of the evening.
Mark Smiths record in congress the
past eighteen wears was the chief
subject of the evening and no doubt
a great many OF the Duncan people
are just b ginning TO find out that
Mark is a great orator, but has &C
complished very little for the good
of Arizona during the years of his
faithful service.

The Flood Case.

On account of the illness of one of
the jurors the famous flood case,
Hoefeld VS.. the D. c. company, which
is being tried at Tucson, was post
poned until Monday of this week. 1t
has resulted in one of the longest
drawn-out cases ever tried in the
territorial courts and both the de-
fence and plaintiff have done every
thing in their power to win. Before
the case was started various people
within ten days, but now it has been
going on almost a month. Various
opinions are expressed by those who
have been at Tucson and heard por-
tions of the evidence. but the ma
jority of them seem to believe that
the Chase creek people will get judg-
ment. In the event of the Clifton
people getting judgment, the COM
pany will more than likely take an
appeal, but the fact that the case
has been thoroughly threshed out in
the first trial will go far towards
further victory in the higher courts.
1t is indeed unfortunate for both
sides that this case could not be set
tied without going to court. The
Clifton people have already spent
considerable money on the case, and
the D. c. company has spent thous-
ands in securing witnesses, making
maps and various other things. 1t
might be cheaper to fight the case,
but unless the company wins it is GO
ing to cost them great deal more
than if they would have come in at
the start. The jury is reported to be
above the average and both sides
seem to be satisfied with them. The
suspense to those in Clifton who are
interested in the case is something
awful and it is hoped that the con-
test will be ended this week.

On NEXT Saturday the democrats
and republicans of Graham county
will undertake the task of nominal

county officers, and it is to be hoped
that for the benefit o the people

aspire. In local affairs, in which
every taxpayer is interested, every
interest, and if necessary, lay
aside political beliefs. Such a
system will, of course. be hardship

ham county has reached the stage
where the majority of her citizens
disapprove the one-sided elections
lished. The ERA will not, in this
campaign, attempt TO throw any
mud at the records of any of the
candidates on either side, but for
the benefit of the county in general,
it would like to see both parties put
up men who will make such strong
races that it will be impossible to
count the winners before the vote is
cast. Therefore, every voter,
wheter democrat, republican or
socialist, should handle mis- vote in
the manner that it will do the most
