P PPRs6R4GSs KOsciuszka
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author Of "At Good Old sIwaHh.s

TT Is very unfortunate for Poland
that Kosciuszl1o, the eminent pa
\ triot, is not living today. If he had
only delayed his departure for more
quiet climes for SO years. he would to-
day be in the thick of the fray, over
turning German armies with one hand
and pushing Austria's face firmly back
with the other.
That was the kind of man KOsciuszko
was Independence was his hobby and
his profession. If there was anything
about which he was a crank il was the
theory that unlimited freedom should
prevail. This made him a popular Ia
Vorite in the new world, but caused him
to be regarded in Europe as a crank
more dangerous than the man who now
insists that the crews Of battleships
shall be removed before they arc sunk.
The opening stauzas Of KOsciuszkO's
name were Tadeusz -AndrZcj BOnaWen-
tura, and he was born at MereczoWsZc-
zynO. Brzesc, the extreme center of the
influenza belt in 1856. In his youth he
was noted for his military talent and
his passion for freedom. This led him
to come to America in 1T76. where he
enjoyed himself for seven happy years
sWatting the tyrant with such versa
Utility and bravery that he was made
general and an honorary citizen Of the
cOnfederacy. besides being given the
thanks of congress and a large estate.
Encouraged with this success, Kos
CiuszkO returned to Poland and issued
the prospectus of new republic in
which every man should be as good as
the next man and a. blamed sight bet
ter, If necessary. For three years he
fought Russia and Prussia with such
vim and skill that with only a third of
their forces he kept them busy and ex-

Big Parade Announced
". B. Ware. coIlarIess and coatless,
announced that there would be a big
parade Wednesday night from the head
quarters to Cleveland square if the
weather was favorable; if not the pa
rade would be to the auditorium rink.
This is not the besI place in the city at
which to form parade he said, but
here in this building our party was
born; here has been done the work
that brought US success and here we
want to start on our march Of cele-
bratiOn"
Prior TO their appearance in the hall
where their workers and friends were
awaiting them, AIessrs. Lea and Jackson
and several other friends, had shown
themselves at the front windows Of
headquarters in response 70 repeated
calls from the crowd below, which
gathered in such numbers that the
street cars were stopped and traffic
was blocked for a block on each side
up and down San Antonio street. A
band furnished music for the crowd.
After Lea and jackson had shown
themselves and been Cheered. a mes
senger from The Herald office told
them that the hundreds of people
watching The Herald bulletins in III
Oneer plaza were clamOring for them
Mr.. Lea hesitated about going, but
finally agreed.
A p. Coles slipped them out Of back

hall during the evening, Mr.. Lea said:
Il want to pay tribute for the good
work Ike Alderete has done in this cleo
ton. When they tried to bride Alderete
away from me several years ago. he
told them he was my friend and liked
me and would stay with me. He has
done so. Today he went into the Mexi-
can precincts almost alone and worked
for this ticket"
Ike said: This is the happiest mo-

wishes. I believe FL Paso has come
into its own again and III my humble
way I will try my best to make you
mayor who viii not disappoint you.
There were cries for Jackson and
the district Judge made a few remarks,
saying he was glad TO stand in the re-
Elected glory OF Tom Lea and proud of
the small part he had had in the sue
cess of the candidate
The party slipped out again and soon
returned to headquarters, where they
spent the rest of the evening
At one time judge Jackson sWOre in

Plenty Of Fun
There was much good natured ban

and their friends during the evening
at anti headquarters
Someone told Judge Jackson that
Judge Leander Dale had threatened "a

Noisy as was election night down
town, the outlying precincts were
equally quiet by contrast. At ali Of
the polling places outside Of the bust
ness district the election officers and
watchers lowered in the polling places
and counted ballot after ballot with
the mechanical motions that come from
constant repetitions of the same move
ments- All election day feeling had
been SOftened by personal contact and
the ring" and anti ring watchers fra
ternaitzed like they might have all been
for the same candidate. Out in East
FL PasO, Joe Dunno and J. Porter Ben
der, whose discussions had caused
DUNES arrest and the issuing of an in
junction by judge Dan N. Jackson, were
as friendly is brothers. At the East Ell
PasO fire station the ring" and anti
ring forces were all seated around q
big table counting and checking the
count without a. single strained relation
during the entire day to their discredit.
Ants Are Wnfehful.
In spite Of their friendly attitude
toward the opposition, the anti ring
workers were as vigilant as watch dogs
and saw every ballot counted and
checked. They even declined to give
out any advance Information to the
press in many Of the precincts for fear
that there might be a contest and their
actions questioned. On tine southside
the election judges worked behind
closed doors to prevent the cOnstaut
disturbances. Outside of the polling
places small crowd Of watchers and
party men stood guard to get the first
information about the precinct results
and report them TO headquarters. on
Tays street, big fire was built outside
of a corral where the voting was done
and happy crowd of victorious anti
ring men were gathered to celebrate
while they waited for the final count.
Kelly Buttons Used.
When il was seen Tuesday afternoon
that many Mexican voters VINO did not
wear a Kelly button were being chal-
lenged by the ring officers Of cleo
ton, the anti ring workers hustled
around and gathered up more than 100

buttons with Keuyis picture on them
and distributed them to the anti ring
Mexican voters i'm the south side voting
precincts. These were worn into the
election places when the Mexicans
went to vote and they were not chal-
lenged by the ''rnig' officers the anti
ring men say. although one anti ring
supervisor, who did not know OF the
plan, undertook to challenge a man
who wore a Kelly button, although tho
man was a strong anti Sing worker
