PORTO RICANS RESTLESS
Native Criticises Carpet Bag Govern
ment of the Island.

Jos.nb Wenar, a planter from Porto
Rico. brings tdlngs of discomfort from the
,nsular possession OF the United States as
q mart of his mission OF making this corin-
,rv better acquainted with his island home.
"The Porto Ricans are tired Of the CALI
hre Of the mon in the insular govern
,nent" he said last night at the Aston.
"They are planning TO have a voice I'm the
management of their own affairs and in
tend IN get IT. The majority of the off,
Gals sent down by Uncle Sam to govern
the island are the greatest bunch Of after
drinking speakers ever imposed on a bond
ed people"
Tho plan in the minds OF the islanders.
he explained, was to have the political par
,,es IN the island-the Unionsts and tho
Republicans nominate candidates for the
government jobs and have the appoint
,rents made from these. At present all the
,mnortant officers are appointed from
washington, and tho local patriots are al
,owed 10 choose only some of the minor
places.
Mr.. Wenar says he represents no organ
ized body of men. From the political point
q, view. this means that there is no revo-
h,,,on afoot i'm the island, although many
mon believe as does Mr.. Wenar. The COM
merc,aI side of his mission, he says, springs
nurely from a philanthropic desire 10 see
