V desetletju pred prvo svetovno vojno v minulem stoletju je trg Sv. Lenart v Sloven­skih goricah veljal za primer kraja, ki so ga odlikovali zanimivi narodnostni boji med Nemci in Slovenci. Čeprav je na zunaj kazal nemško lice, je bil slovenski. Tudi okolica je bila povsem slovenska. V narodnostno življenje je prinesel veliko svežine Sokol, ki so ga ustanovili leta 1908. V njem je bila vidna vloga liberalnega odvetnika dr. Milana Goriška in njegovega zvestega pisarniškega uradnika Davorina Poliča. Ta je bil pri dr. Gorišku izjemno cenjen in se je uveljavil kot odličen sokolski vaditelj in organizator. Temu delu je bil povsem predan. Kronisti ga opisujejo kot skrajno racionalnega člove­ka, ki je bil slovenstvu in narodnostni politiki do kraja predan. Bil je odločen Maistrov podpornik in je sodeloval v aktivnostih za slovenski prevzem Lenarta v prevratnem letu 1918.

In the decade before World War I in the last century the market town Sv. Lenart in Slovenske gorice was a place noted for its interesting national fights between Germans and Slovenes. Although it showed a German face on the outside, it was Slovene on the inside. Its surroundings were totally Slovene as well. The "Sokol" society, which was established in 1908, brought fresh energy into the national life. The liberal lawyer, Milan Gorisek, PhD and his official Davorin Polii' played an important role in "Sokol". Milan Gorisek thought highly of Davorin PoJi(', who was also an excellent "Sokol" instructor and organiser. He was very devoted to this work. Chroniclers describe him as a highly rational man, who was totally devoted to Slovenehood and to the national politics. He was an extraordinary Maister's supporter and he took part in actions for taking over the authorities in Lenart in the revolutionary year 1918.
