The Fight for the Mother Language.
Abendpost, October 24th, 1890
Mr. Heinrich Raab, Democratic candidate for the office of Superintendent of Schools, spoke last night in three different Halls, on the anti-German regulations of the new School-Law.
The first of these three meetings was opened by Mr. Anton Rneck, member of the Executive-Committee of the German-American Control Society. After his introduction, Mr. Raab pointed out clearly, the dangers for the Germans through the efforts of the new school-Law. The noted Republican, Wilhelm Bocke, also voiced his opposition and was warmly applauded by the listeners for his stern and purely German standpoint in disregarding all party lines.
The other two meetings, presided over by Mr. Raab, at the Kaiser Hall, and the School-house (21st and Hoyne Avenue), also were crowded. Among other noted speakers were Mr. Ph Koehler, and Mr. Fr. A. Hoffman.
