LY MEETING IN THE PORTU-
GUESE DISTRICT

ing on PunChbOWl last night. The
trouble appeared to be over the rival
candidacy of Castro and Silva for the
House. The meeting was fairly order
ly except when these names were mem
toned, and efforts to roast Silva
quickly brought demonstrations of op-
position. Stones were thrown at one
stage of the proceedings and there
was considerable hooting. 1t is said
that there were numerous eggs ready
for speakers, in the outskirts of the
crowd, but the presence of ladies near
the speakers prevented the throwing.
A. Pacheco acted as chairman and
introduced J. F. Durao as the first
speaker, and Durao spoke in Portu-
guese, being well received. w. o.
Smith spoke next, saying in part:
Il am glad to see so many people here,
so many women and children. It is a
good thing for the wives and sisters to
attend the meetings and a good thing
for the children, because it will be but
few years when these boys will be
voters. have been several times in
Washington during the past five years
and l have many friends there. have
had occasion to learn the people and
! wish to say to you that it is the
Republican party that has the influ-
ence. 1t was that party that gave
freedom to the slaves. 1t was the Re-
publican party that gave us our treaty
that has been so much good for this
country"
L. L. McCandless suffered some in
terruptions during his speech. He
called attention to the fact that the
Republicans had put the finances of
the country in good shape. Chilling
worth spoke for the ticket, saying that
it was the Republican party that had
made it possible for the people to elect
their own sheriff and had given a lib
eral Sunday law. He said Castro had
been fairly nominated and would be
credit to the Portuguese if they sent
him to the legislature.
The chairman introduced Brown as
the most maligned man in Honolulu

his talk was well received. Brown said
he regretted the Siva-Castro difficulty,
but proposed to stand by Castro be-
cause he had fairly won the Republic
can nomination. V. o. TeiXeira spoke
i'm Portuguese. .
Henry Vida said that he would fill
the office to the best of his ability He
and the Sheriff had given them
square deal and he hoped they would
get the votes of the Portuguese. He
was satisfied they are good people and
they should be proud of the fact that
in but one or two instances had there
been criminal charges entered against
one of that nationality. He made due
reference to the Advertiser in the fact
that it had accused him of champion
ing the cause of A. NJ. Brown. He
was proud to say he would stand by
man who had some principle. "Iaukea
is backed by the Civic Federation and
L. A. Thurston, and he did not think
the Portuguese would support the hui
man frog, Iaukea. who is jumping from
one political puddle to the other"

ngmen cannot keep a family unless
they have sufficient money, and this is
particularly the case with you Portu-
guese, who are the best citizens we
have. If I am elected I will do the
best I can to give you more pay for
your labor"
