City Election But Eight
Weeks Away And Parties
Begin To Seek New Voters

Last night was the Anal time for
filing names for the republican
and democratic primary lists.
Neither party made any special
drive to add names to their pri-
mary lists with the result that the
total number Of names added was
in the vicinity of 100. which means
little or nothing. In other years
when rimary battles were antici-
pated additions have run into the
thousands A.
Registrars of Voters Thomas F.
Dillaneand Henry O'Connor stated
when interviewed, that they will
name the board of registration to
sit in at the swearing in of new
electors during the next week or
ten days. The registration of the
new voters will take place in the
aldermanic chamber, the starting
date being September 9th. The
board will sit until September 18th.

With the municipal election
onl yeight weeks away, leaders Of
both parties to-day redoubled their
efforts in the attempt to swell the
total number of electors on the
local voting list. The last day for
filing new voters will be Tuesday.
September 9Th, it was, announced
to-day by the registrar OF voters.
To-day, SO far, almost 1000 names
of new voters had been filed quiet
" by the leaders of both local ma
jor parties.
It is exected that between to-day
and Tuesday, September 5th, the
total will lhave been increased to
about 1000. In past years between
1900 and $500 new voters have
been sworn in, annually, and this
figure is expected to be equalled
and possibly passed this time due
to the fact that a bitter mayoralsy
attic is anticipated.

Point 1t this Polish soldier who urged that
West Point be chosen when it was later decided
to found training school for American youth.
He spent two of the six years he was in this
country at West Point, where a monument was
erected in his memory in 1928.
Kosciuszkos next service was in the Carolinas
campaign with General Greene and it is said
that Greenes escape from CORVALLIS during his
memorable retreat was due largely to the work
of the Polish officer In constructing pontoon
bridges which allowed Greene's army to cross
rivers before the British could overtake it.
The close of the Revolution found Kosciuszko
a brigadier- general and member of the Society
of the Cincinnati. By vote of congress American
citizenship was conferred upon him In October,
1888, and he was granted 500 acres of land on
the Scioto river in Perry county, Ohio, which
he later sold.
American liberty having been Kosciuszko
decided to return to his own land and fight again
for it's freedom To follow the activities of the Po
lsh patriot after his return to his native land
is to follow the stormy days of Poland fight
ing for freedom against heavy odds. In 1871
Poland, under new constitution. became linn
tied monarchy with ministerial responsibility.
Invidious class distinctions were done away with.
Preparations for the abolition of serfdom were
getting under way. Every citizen declared
equal before the law.
But the new constitution could not stand
against the old confederation. Polish territory
was desirable corridor for surrounding powers.
The little Polish army under Kosciuszko and
Prince Joseph Poniatowski did what it could For
three months it kept back all invaders. But
King Stanislaus III of Poland doubtful of sue
cess acceded to the demands of the confedera-
ton. Poland was again parceled out to her neigh
bors and reduced to one-third her original di-
mansions.
Undismayed, Kosciuszko and his followers
withdrew to Lepsic There they laid their plans
for another battle In this encounter they were
partly victorious, recovering considerable lost
territory But the game of against an enemy
whose numbers far exceeded their own proved
disastrous. Kosciuszko seriously wounded, was
taken prisoner on the battlefield.
For two years he confined in the famous
Russian fortress of St Peter and Paul. He was
released upon his request that he be allowed
once more to visit America.
After his second visit to America he settled
down In house near Paris. There he received
many distinguished guests and worked for
fatherland he was never to see again. The last
few years of his life were spent with friends
in Solothurn, Switzerland, where he died. The
severe wounds received in the Polish wars had
left him with frai and weakened constitution.
AS he lay dying he requested that his heart
should not be taken back to his country until
the day "when Poland free" So 1t was re-
