tro who simply advised them to exer-
else their best judgment in their ac-
| ton tonight.
NJ. c. Pacheco said he had hesitated
about speaking. If the resolution is
adopted it would be the worst move the
club had ever made. Correa had re-
ceived within three votes of a choice
and by that the club had received rec
ognition. He asked them to wait, pa
tiently. Can the Democratic party
give you the help you ask? (Cries of
yes, yes). Well, I do not think So
You are employed by Republicans and
you had better stick to the men who
give you work.
A. II. r. Vieirra said he did not want
to be understood as favoring disband-
ing with the idea of going to another
political party. Not at all-he thought
best to put our eggs in our pocket and
take them home and put them on ice,
or anywhere, and in couple of years
they would hatch something.
Mr. Silva explained that he had gone
into the club with view to aiding
the Portuguese at the polls. He said
there seemed to be no reason for ask
ing for a vote, he could tell by the ex-
pressions of those present just how it
would go. The Portuguese had been
fooled for several years, and they
would be fooled again. The Second
Precinct of the Fourth voted 10 for our
candidate on the first ballot there was
evidently a reason for that vote Now
If he was good enough for the first
ballot he said, why not for the sec
ond But he was not, gentlemen, and
we We're dumped. He believed that
some influence had bem brought to
bear upon the Republicans to convince
them that we have no power, they have
been made to feel that they are strong
enough without US. Well, maybe the
votes can go another way-you can
vote as you see fit. l am not influence
ing You to vote for one man or another
but ask you why should we stand
together ara help party that has
turned us down for six years" Gap
plause).
IF we are in position to offer them
400 votes and they tell us they do not
need us-I say let us disband-and you
can vote for whom you please"
The vote to disband was viva yoce, !
but so many wanted to know what !,
the resolution was that the secretary |
consented to read it again. The roll !,
call showed 81 for the resolution and j
5 against
Mr.. Castro informed the club that 1t !
is in debt to various persons the sum
of s13.25 and the treasurer showed but
81 so on hand. The hat was passed in
order to raise funds-$4.55 was the re-
suit.
The chair announced that it had been
suggested that club pc organized for
me benefit of the colony and the sug-
gestion carried with it the name of the
Portuguese Good Government Club,
not to be allied to any political organ
cation Now is the time he said, to
begin work.
A. K Vieirra said it was IAN evt
7ence of vindictivness and meant the
making of H1ugwumps to do such
a while before changing !
I'VE will be Democrats, Home Rul-
rs. yelled the crowd.
A Fl. r. Vieirra opposed any clubs.
bought we should go home. had had !
,lubs enough. A motion to adjourn
vas not put.
Mr.. J. Cabral favored organizing pre-
met clubs to work for the good of i
andidates. Was ashamed to have the
hub disband while it was in debt His =
words fell on deaf ears
AS the club had disbanded, Mr.. Ter /
il was called upon to announce the I
Meeting to be held this evening. He c
aid he was not present to make /
peech but to ask them to notify any
ne on the hill who wanted to come :
own and help elect nine delegates to
ne Democratic convention. (Cheers &
or Iaukea and Terrn).
The chair stated that as there was
10 further business he would declare
he club adjourned sine die
