Political Meeting in Town of Lake

Dziennik Chicagoski, Mar. 25, 1896

(We have received the following correspondence with a request that it be published in the Dziennik Chicagoski.)

The Democrats of the Thirtieth Ward held a meeting last Monday evening in W. Piasecki's Hall at the corner of 48th and Wood Streets, in Town of Lake.

After Mr. T. Szarkowski had called the meeting to order, Mr. Vincent Muszynski was made chairman and the undersigned was made secretary.

Mr. Muszynski then spoke and urged those in the audience to give their heartiest support to our countryman, Mr. Michael Gryszczynski, who is a candidate for clerk of Town of Lake. Mr. Gryszczynski is a young man, universally known and liked. The fact that he received the Democratic nomination shows that he is highly respected by other nationalities. Every Pole should vote for him.

Next,Mr. Gryszczynski, who was present in the hall, was called upon to speak.

He spoke only briefly, but in his short speech he was able to gain the good will of the entire audience.

The next speaker was Mr. John Paczkowski, who contended that it was our sacred duty to elect a Pole to this important position.

Mr. Martin Koscielniak, Mr. John Sawinski, Mr. W. Piasecki, and others, also spoke.

Mr. Gryszczynski received the unanimous endorsement of all those present at the meeting, and they all promised that they would vote for him on election day regardless of party affiliation.

W. Piasecki, secretary.
