| publicans In the Democratic party" hi
said well, IL you want any proc
that there is rottenness in the present
right there. No Independent man coulC
put UP with the rottenness of thai
party. That is why you find SO many
Republicans out of it. They don't stand
| for the machine. 1t is a great wonder
| to me to see so many Americans from
| the mainland, supposed to be free peo-
pie, submitting year after year to the
bossing of a Russian. Anyone would
think this was Russia itself to see them
jump when he cracks his whip. Why
do we submit? Why vote to perpet-
uate the machine which holds a club
over you and threatens to take away
your bread and butter If you show a
shred of independence
II want here tonight to answer some
of the insults made about the Portu-
guese on Punchbowl. They say that
some Portuguese disturbed meeting
held there. Who was to blame for that
II it was not the party which gave free
beer and whisky to every man and
child at the meeting? Was it done on
PURPOSE. WHY ulu lHey liioW oPcIl q
saloon not fifty feet away and give
everyone a general invitation to have
all they wanted because 1t had been
paid for? This was a double insult
to the Portuguese The first insult was
In trying to buy their votes with booze,
and every Portuguese voter ought to
resent the insult. Do the Republicans
think that they can buy Portuguese
with glass of wife? That is the
opinion the Republicans have of. the
Portuguese and 1t is insulting.
"Then they blamed the row on two
or three boys who had nothing to do
with it and even went around and
tried to have these boys fired from
their jobs. Is that way to help the
ticket, by getting some boys
fired?
"They go around, in Kakaako and
Iwilei, for instance. with beer and
whisky as arguments. When a party
gets so low that 1t has to do this 1t is
time to bury it SO deep that 1t will never
rise again, and 1 believe that You real
lie with me that that time has come.
IF you don't think so yet, go to some
Of the Republican meetings and stay
until they are over. There are always
more there at the last, Then see the
effects of this whisky-beer campaign.
II that doesn't make a Democrat of
you, l am sadly mistaken in you. Vote
The straight Democratic ticket. We
ire asking you as men, not with
glass of beer in our hand. If any man
waits until / buy him glass of beer
or his vote. he will never vote for me.
