FIRST GUN FIRE
BY DEMOCRACY
Lawyer Vivas Does an Amusing
Stunt-ReIigious and
Other Items.

WiAILUKU, Jan. 25-The Demo
cratic campaign was begun by meet
ing of the faithful Thursday evening
at the Waikiki courthouse. Thomas
Clark presided over the meeting and
Manuel c. Ross was the secretary.
n. C. Mossman, Atone do Rego, S.
Kaioiole, J. M. Vivas, Antoine Faustino
and James Kawelo were elected dele
gates to the convention.
J. NJ. Vivas spoke for some time
and did his old race stunt. He claimed
the Hawaiians had been misinformed
as to the attitude of the better class
of Democrats of the Southern States
and said that more Democrats of the
South associated with negroes than did
Republicans of the North. The Re
publicans were held responsible for the
annexation of the islands, while the
Democrats were in favor of taking
care of their own and not in favor of
expansion.
Mr.. Vivas prophesied that the Re-
publican party would be dead in three
years in the Territory and if the Demo-
Gratis should win out in the national
election the Republicans here would
run themselves out of breath to join
the Democratic party.
The funniest part of the entertain
ment was the effort of Tom Clark to
interpret for Vivas. Tom either pur-
posely or otherwise took the bit in
his teeth and while Vivas talked on
one theme Tom interpreted in another
to the great amusement of those who
understood both languages.
Antoine do Rego was the next speak
err. Now Antoine has never been known
as an orator of the first rank but he
proved to be the winning card Of the
evening. He spoke in Portuguese and
after mixing personalities with steam
plows said that the reason the Por-
tuguese are down is because of seven
men on Maui. He urged his hearers
to listen to Vivas and said that if we
had more like him we would be all
right. He said the condition of the
Portuguese is worse than that of the
Japs because of the missionaries.
'tWhat are you getting as wages?"
he asked of a man in the audience.
Twenty dollars" was the answer.
"T This is but one-half of the salary
of a common sailor,'' shouted Antoine
and emphasized his statement by strik-
ing the table with his fist.
"The king of Portugal. should die, +"
he roared. 1T takes you twenty-five
