to such a degree that the Referendum
League decided upon a campaign of edu-

suited to our situation. We printed and
circulated a great deal Of literature, held
many public meetings, discussed the ques-

view, and at the election OF November,
1908. had this proposition put on the
ballot: Shall the city of Buffalo ask
the legislature Of the state OF New York
to enact new, simple, home rule char

THE total vote cast at that election by
all parties was 10000. The total vote cast
for and against our proposition was
1887. about double the number cast at
the previous election. The affirmative
vote was 13.2sS. and the negative 4,346
We carried every ward but the water
front wharves- The German population
which composes about 40 per cent: the
Poles. who compose about IS per cent,
and the native Americans favored it al
most unanimously, without regard to po-

cast the negative vote chiefly under in
structions from the machine bosses

years this little colony did well. and its
members were leading happy and pros
porous lives. They were not burdened
by heavy taxes, and yet in the end they
contributed much to the support of the
government Then came the revolution,
and since that time they have seen all
their crops fail by reason of a lack of
labor, and they have been SO hampered
that they are not much better off to-
day than the other Nicaraguans. The
foreign interests on the east coast of
Nicaragua are principally American and
English On the west coast the Germans
are in the ascendancy, there being almost
as many German business houses as of
ell other nationalities combined. The
American consular agent at San Juan del
Sur. Charles Holman, is one of the most
foreigners in the republic. He
is German who landed at that port
on a shipwrecked schooner with only
the clothes he had on. He stayed there
and has prospered until today he is one
of the weathiest men In Nicaragua, own
ing cattle ranches, rubber plantations and
hardwood forests so extensive that he
himself does not know how much he is
worth.
The majority of the foreigners who are
in Nicaragua today are men who came
here on the tide of immigration which
journeyed hither at the time the Nicara-
guam canal was one of the prospects of
the future. They constituted the advance
guard Of what they hoped would be an
army of canal construction. The army
itself never came. but they remained,
and most of them have prospered.
