Polish Electoral Society in Silesia

[1] On 1 November 1902, the National League in Upper Silesia was seeking to cooperate with the rival media magnate Adam Napieralski [pl] in the creation of an electoral party to contest the next German election, fearing that his media, oriented around the newspaper Katolik [pl], would go on a mass offensive against the League's candidates.

[1][2] Efforts were made by the National League to unite PTW with other Endecja-aligned electoral parties in other parts of the Prussian partition.

Contemporaries described the electoral mood as energetic, voting for PTW was seen as a rebellion from Germanization and admission to Polish identity.

His attacks against the anti-Polish, pro-Zentrum German Catholic hierarchy would earn him a condemnation from Prince-Bishop of Breslau Georg von Kopp.

As a future consequence, the German hierarchy would refuse to let Korfanty partake in the sacrament of marriage unless he issued them an apology, which he rejected and married abroad in the Diocese of Kraków months later.
