.KEKAHA PORTO R|CANS
COMPLAINT INVESTIGATED
The Petition the Work Of Perpatetc Mischief
n ~. Maker...Manager Faye Would Be Sorry
to Lose the People.

Some weeks ago Governor Carter
gave the Advertiser for pubicatio a
petition from several Porto Ricans,
who professed to be living at Keka ha
Kauai, complaining of their treatment
on the plantation there. The petition
was printed in full in the Advertiser.
Governor Carter wrote to II. =. Faye,
manager of Kekaha Sugar CO., on the
subject matter of the petition, and to
c. B. Hotgaard, District Magistrate of
Kekaha. asking him to investigate the
condition of the Porto Ricans in his
district. Both of these gentlemen have
replied to the Governor with the de-
signers of the petition.
Judge Hofgaard reports in reference
to the matter as follows:
THE PETITIONS AUTHOR.
THE petition was gotten up by one
Jose Ramon yendrell, who travels
from one plantation to another, living
on his countrymen. He came here
originally as an agent for procuring
Porto Rican laborers, but he had not
the look to be an agent of such class
and standing as the Hawaiian planters
had any confidence in. He is well
| educated, of unsteady habits and not
well balanced.
THE PORTO RICANS.
"Kekaha plantation has about forty
Porto Ricans on its pay roll and, with
women and children, about "A hundred
of them are on the place Their quar-
tiers are situated on a sand fiat near
| the mill and on the seacoast. Wells
have been dug In many places near the
camp which contain brackish water

Drinking water Is had at the mill
which comes from springs in the noun
tains and they have in no cases Ia
carry drinking water more than 800
yards. From the looks of their quar-
| ters they evidently use only a small
| amount OF washing water.
"A family with children has two
| rooms and kitchen. Single men have
each one room. For families consist

corning Maj. Stedman's Candi-
dacY for Governor.

While in the city recently S0iicitor n.
l.. Brooks. of Greensboro, who Is managing

Stedman'S chance, said:
1--WE are greatly pleased with the out
look for Major Stedman nomination.
Since the announcement Of his candidacy,
Democrats frcm all over North Carolina
have manifested the livehest interest III
his success. There seems TO he a pre-
vailing sentiment that he Is the right
man for the place ana that his long
ard honorable service to the State botn
i'm war and peace makes him an ideal can
didate.
From a rurely political standpoint the
Democratic party would be fortunate to
have him ut tho head of our ticket. Born
Of Democratic parentagc he has for
thirty years actively supported the plin-
ciples and nominees of the party. While
ALWAYS bold and fearless in the cause Of
coed government, he has never made
himself obnoxious to the people Or mani
tested intolerance for those who differ
from him.
He is conoed idly the peer of any gen
tleman IN the State, a fine orator of dis
tnguished presence, kind and gentle in
his bearing, passionately attached 10 the
glorious history of our State and devoted
to It's splendid future.
who is there in North Carolina but
what would feel proud Of Stedman as 4
Governor. whether at home or abroad.
His life is a thrilling history OF devotion
to duty, heroism in Civil War, self-sacri-
flee for others. and fidelity to friends and
State. Yes, tire people OF North Caro-
lima admire and love such man and
believe wlll make him their next Gov
enlOr.
with Stedman as our standard bearer
there COULD be no factions or pickering
in our party, the Republicans would feel
that they had as well suspend business. Z"
