is on the increase. Following the
sensation created last week by the
announcement of John Sikorsl, the
wcll-known Polish leader of the Elev-
enth ward. that he is through with
the Democratic organization as it is
now constituted Charles A. Glazier,
also of that ward, to-day made an
equally strong declaration. Mr.. Glazier,
who lives att No Cedar street, and
who has been "A hard party worker i'm

The opposition of Mcssrs. Glazier and
Sikorsli resulted to-day i'm plans being
perfected for the organization of an
"a
Polish Independent club, both i'm the
Eleventh ward. These organizations
viii be separate i'm their character but
they viii work in unison. Mr.. Glazier
is one of the prime movers i'm the or
ganization of the Independent Demo-
cratic club: Mr. Sikorski is leading the
Polish movement. The latter it may
be stated, is at the head Of several large
Polish organizations. His influence,
therefore. will be pronounced among
these citizens. Although of Polish
parentage, ne was born in this coun-
try.
These clubs will secure headquarters
and will maintain permanent organiza-
tions henceforth. They will be in
corporated and viii start with large
memberships. The men who are urg
ing this movement insist that they
are Democrats, but they declare they
will not countenance the manner in
which the affairs of that party are now
being conducted by cliques.
