THE DEMOCRATVOL. I HONOLULU, T. H., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1910. No. 7

VOTERS WILL GALL BLUFF OF

SPECIAL INTERESTS ON

One week from tomorrow, fellow cit-

izens, Ave go to the polls to decide whe-

ther our beloved Hawaii is to be gov-

erned by the people or to be ruled byKing Sugar and his hired court.

If each maw, for love of country, forthe protection of his home and the hap-

piness of his loved ones, will cast hisballot strictly according to his con-

science, a tremendous victory will bewon by the Democratic party. Such avictory will mean the overthrow of theRepublican party that has for so longkept the Ilawaiians from their rightsand that has, ever since these Islandsbecame a Territory of the UnitedStates, made the poor man poorer stilland the rich man still more rich.

Dr Republicans Discourage GoodLabor.

The Republican party, through falserepresentation, threats, smooth talk andby spending great sums of money, hasfor ten years suppressed and oppressedthe workingman and the humble me-

chanic. The Republican party has dis-

couraged thousands of workingmen,who were willing to remain here withtheir families and spend all their moneyhere, and has forced them to return tothe mainland or to seek employment inthe Philippines or other parts, for thereason that this same Republican powerhas put a scourge upon this fair land inthe shape of undesirable immigrants likethe Porto Rieans and the Russians andthe Filipinos whose cheap labor drivesaway all chance of our own people find-

ing employment whereby they mightsupport their families.

1KT- - Party Without a Conscience.

Not satisfied with what has alreadybeen done to make the people suffer,this same Republican party, whose soulis a mixture of sugar and brimstone,and which has no conscience, now wantsto fling upon Hawaii thousands of un-

desirables and to make them work atstarvation wages on the sugar planta-tions, so that there will not be anychance of Ilawaiians and others gettinggood wages on the plantations; so thatsoon the Portuguese and others nowtrying to make a living on sugar es-

tates will be driven out to make roomfor cheaper help.

It lias been said, and it is true, thatsugar is the soul of the Republican par-ty. It has been said, and it is true, thatthe sugar industry in Hawaii is a solidcombination that has, year by year, be-

come more like a great devil-fis- h, amonster squid, a lmge octopus whosetentacles reach out in every direction,grasping greedily at almost every insti-tution in Hawaii and crushing theheart's blood out of all that is mostimportant to the happiness of the peo-

ple of this land.

iOV" Sitting on the Press.

One great, writhing, powerful, snake-like arm holds the newspapers in a

grasp, squeezing out courage,honesty and all ideals, for if the papersshould dare say anything against themethods employed by the sugar ring,which is another name for the Republi-can party, those papers would be

promptly suppressed; the corporationssupported by the sugar interests wouldat once take away their advertisingfrom the newspapers and the paperswould have no money to keep going. Itis a remarkable thing that a town of fif-

ty thousand inhabitants should havethree English daily newspapers all ofwhich are Republican. And why arethey all Republican? Because they areall supported by sugar. The plantationscontrol a great proportion of the busi-

ness of this city; they control directlyor indirectly the smothered newspa-pers; they control the wealth of Ha-

waii ; they control the best lands of theislands; they control the governmentof this Territory to an alarming extentat present, BUT THEY CANNOT CON-

TROL YOUR VOTE !

We no longer exist under a monarch-ical form of government where we haveno say in governing. We can have avery great say in the government of Ha-

waii if we will capture the ballot boxon November 8 by the majority of ourvoters. By voting the Democratic tick-et Ave Avill defeat the ring that has forso long .kept, the man of small oKjnodsii,ate means from his full rights to the en-

joyment of life, fair Avages and prosper-ity.

Bluffs Won't Work.

Many voters are being terrified intopromising to A'ote the Republican tick-et, for it is hinted or even threatenedthat they Avill lose their jobs if they donot vote the Avay their employers tellthem to vote.

DON'T TAKE ANY BLUFF, butvote according to your oavu conscience.Remember this: if every Democraticvoter in your employer's firm Avas tolose his job your employer avouIiI haveto close up his business. He ean't fireyou all, and he Avon't fire you, anyAvay.When election is over he Avill have noobject in firing you from your job. Heis only bluffing Avhen he hints that un-

less you vote the Republican ticket heintends to fire you. It is not his busi-

ness Iioav you vote. That is betAveen youand your conscience. And, after all, ifyou vote the Democratic ticket you Avill

vote for your employer's best interests,for you Avill be voting against the Re-

publican policy of assisted immigration.KILL ASSISTED IMMIGRATION!KEEP OUT THE PAUPER PLAN-

TATION LABORERS AND FORCETHE PLANTATIONS TO PAY HON-

EST LIVING AVAGES TO PEOPLEALREADY HERE, SO THAT THEREWILL BE MORE MONEY IN CIRCU-LATION AND CONSEQUENTLYMORE BUSINESS IN ALL LINES, IN-

STEAD OF ALLOWING THE PLAN-TERS TO SWELL THEIR MONEYPILES BY THE SWEAT OF SLAVES.

2PF" Rich Men Have Enough.

Is it not better that the plantationsbe compelled to pay higher wagesamong those people iioav here, to

to Portuguese or to any peopleuoav here Avho are willing to work onthe plantations at a decent Avage, sothat the money benefit all, than for thesugar barons to keop on amassing

ELECTION DAY

wealth to horde it up for future sugarbarons, their children, or to spend it inluxurious traveling about the world, orto invest it abroad, or to put it intomore plantations, Avhich Avill mean that

--they Avill want more assisted immigra-tion to work those new plantations?

Think seriously about these things foryourself, instead of taking the flowerylanguage of Republican candidates Avho

are working for the sugar interests andhave to stand by them or be bounced offthe ticket.

Should the laborer's AA'ages be raisedto a liA'ing standard, or should the al-

ready over-ric- h sugar barons continueto increase their fat dividends?

This sugar-Republic- squid avc havebeen talking about has one of his giantpneumatic-holder- s on the Territorialgovernment. The Republican party isin poAver and the Republican party isthe sugar party. Sugar dictates thepolicy of the party and the party dic-

tates the policy of the government.There Ae have a direct connection. Su-

gar dictates the policy of the govern-ment of IlaAvaii.

The Republicans, if you Avill talk tothem, give as excuse that sugar is themain industry and has made these Isl-

ands prosperous and therefore sugarshould be protected and therefore sugarshould have assisted immigration andpretty near anything else its wants.

Suppose sugar is the main industry,Avhat has that to do Avith allowing themain industry to run amuck with aSAvelled head and try to make this Ter-

ritory a poorhouse, just so the sugar in-

terests might fatten?

SWF" Assisted Immigration Unnecessary

The sugar industry in these Islandsis able to take care of itself. It is ona firm financial foundation and is x'ich

beyond the needs of successful opera-tion and big profits. It is in a conditionto double Avoges or at least to very ma-

terially raise wages; it is in a conditionto make propositions to la-

borers; it is in a condition to continuemaking good profits and at the sametime to greatly assist thousands hereAvilling to take the place of coolie laborat a fair remuneration.

So sugar sits in the high places of thisland, in the offices of government, andit influences our conditions, forcing onthe Avorkingmen the cheap competitionof coolies who leave the plantations andAvhose places are sought to be filled byFilipinos.

Uoav long are Ave HaAvaiians going tostand this tyranny of sugar?

We don't have to stand it.One Aveek from tomorroAV Ave can pull

King Sugar from his throne and makehim a private citizen, if he behaves him-

self as worthy of private citizenship, forAve will have no king where the peoplehave the right to rule.

Vote Avith the people and for the peo-ple. Sugar can take care of itself. Thesooner Ave are free from Republicanbossism the sooner Ave '11 be happy.

The Democrats of the Twelfth Pre-cinct of the Fourth District Avill meet at

"7- o'clock this evening at the clubhouse.

BE ON GUARD AGAINST

REPUBLICAN FAKES

Yesterday the Advertiser made itsusual mid-campai- announcement tothe effect that its readers should be onguard against canards Avhich might besprung toAvard the end of the political,campaign with a view to defeating theAdvertiser Republican croAvd. Dear,old-maidi- Advertiser. It issues thishypocritical Avarning in every campaignand folloAvs it up the next day with themost glaring misassertions it can invent.

Stand on guard against the deliber-ate falsifications of the Advertiser fromiioav on, and particularly watch forsome last-mome- nt faked cable, fakedAvireless, or faked communication, oralleged discovery. The Advertiser liesclumsily, but lies so often that it is diff-icult to pick out truth from lies some-

times, for the uninformed ahvays to dis-

tinguish between half-lie- s, lies, anddamned lies.

Supervisor Aylett, be it remombered,made the statement in Kakaako that ifthe election could not be Avon honestly,the Republicans Avould steal it.

Watch the Republicans at the pollsand watch the Republican runnerswhither they go and Avhat they have tosay, and don't believe the ever-changin- g

Advertiser, Avhose editorials are.Avritten by several, Avith as many ob-

jects, each object suiting the situationirrespective of Avhat the policy Avas yes-

terday or what it Avill be tomorrow.

WATGH THE LAND OFFICE

Of tAvo applications filed Avith theLand Office for the opening of a certaintract of land iioav leased to the Waianaeplantation, one Avas by twenty appli-cants, mostly plantation employes, un-

der the form of a settlement associa-tion. The other Avas signed by thirtyapplicants, chiefly natives of the place.The first was illegal, not having com-

plied with the law recently passed byCongress, and, furthermore, it is decid-edly against the government's policy torecognize settlement associations. ButIhe surveyor is now on the ground plot-

ting the land, and it is claimed by cer-

tain knowing ones that the eane-groAV-in- g

portion of the land is for the settle-ment association, Avhile the rocky andprickly-pea- r portions are for the peo-ple, the devil taking the hindmost. Ofa certainty, the Land Office bears watch-ing in this case.

"Save mo from my friends." Thisis directed to the A'oter, and it is up tohim to saA'c himself from his alleged,but really false, friends, the RepublicanSpecial Interests. Vote the straightDemocratic ticket, both Territorial andCounty.

The AdA'ertiser has not mentionedveal for a month !

The same set of planters that todaystands behind the Republican party isthe same that paid plantation laborerseight and ten dollars a month prior tothe raising of the American Flag overthese Islands. Don't forget that thyare the same set that refuse to pay aliving Avage to the citizens of the pres-ent day.

WARNING TO HAWAIIANS

Mr. Hawaiian Voter: The rich plan-

ter is politically Republican, and, beingsuch, seeks your vote for that party onNovember 8. And why? Are you nolable to understand why he needs it? Ithas been your vote in the past that hasmade it possible for him to wax fat inthe land. With your votes, through thelegislature, ho has been given the rightto import hordes of Asiatic laborers for

- his baronial sugar estates, and this samelabor has driven you to the wall in yournative ' land. Do you think the sugarplanter cares how soon you go over thePali so long as nothing disturbs hislarge dividends ? Well, I think not. Didyou ever notice how the sugar baronhowls when you talk of higher wages?

Now if it were shown that they wereunable to pay a higher wage all wouldbe well and good, but quite the contraryis the fact, for witness all the wealththey possess.

And how have they amassed thisgreat wealth ? In no other way than byemploying Asiatic coolies at starvationwages to the exclusion of yourselves ata reasonable wage.

Mr. Hawaiian, you have the powerwith your vote to. make life better foryourself, but never by voting the Re-

publican ticket, which means the pro-

longation of conditions as they now ex-

ist. If this "sugar clique" had everdone anything for your interests, wecould forgive it.

When the Japanese strike was on-las- t

year, this same Asiatic cheap labor,which the planter had shipped here bythe thousands, refused to work; then,and only then, did the rich Republicanplanter need you, but not for long, forhe let you go mighty quick when thepoor Japanese, hungry and beaten, re-

turned to work.Workingmen, stop and let us consid-

er your own interest now. You havelooked after the planters long enough.In past legislatures you have favoredthem only to the detriment of your-selves. Vote for the party in this com-

ing election whose platform and princi-ples are for your upbuilding. The Dem-

ocratic party is your only hope. Youhave had ten years to learn how muchto expect from the Republican party.Your interests and those of the plantersare in direct opposition so long ns theyare permitted to import cheap labor,and if you think the planter is doingbusiness for your welfare you aremightily fooled. This planter elementhas kept you from owning the Govern-ment lands for all these years, and why ?

Because they wanted it for themselves,and they have the most of it too, have-

n't they?Mr. Hawaiian, heretofore, you have

worked together, struggled together,starved together, and gone to prison to-

gether, but you have never learned tovote together, and that is the secret ofyour downfall. Why do you vote forthe clique that wants to fill the countrywith poverty-stricke- n immigrants whoare certain to be placed in a position totake away your own opportunities? Ifthe Islands needed them, all would bowell. But we are not'suffering from aninsufficiency of labor; we are sufferingfrom an insufficiency of wages. Lookat the poverty and misery of the lastgovernment-aide- d immigrants, compell-ed to labor for next to nothing. This iswhat the planter wants.

The .Democratic party promises, ifplaced in power, to stop this wholesaleimmigration business, and it is up toyou, Mr. Voter! You have the powerto place your disapproval pn the sugarschemers on the eighth of .

November,Will you do it?

STEPHEN DESHA SEVERELY

INJURES REPUBLICAN

CAUSE

Stephen Desha, kahunapule, ministerof the Gospel, but no honor to his cloth,is the chief Republican soapbox oratorin Honolulu.

And why in- - Honolulu? BecauseStephen Desha is a prophet withouthonor in his own county. Because Ste-

phen Desha as a speaker for Republi-

can candidates, is a detriment to hisown party on the island on which hehas his residence. Because Stephen De-

sha has no standing on the island of Ha-

waii and his advocacy of the Republi-

can cause in the community in which helives is recognized by the Republicanparty leaders as dangerous to theirticket.

So Stephen Desha has been shippedup to Honolulu to make a loud noisefrom the soapbox. The Republicans fig-

ure that his political treachery is not aswell known in Honolulu as it is in Hiloand other parts of the island of Hawaii.

Stephen Desha professes to be a cler-

gyman; he spends his Sundays in try-ing to inculcate the doctrines of Chris-tianity, and. six days of" the week inpreaching Republicanism. How he rec-

onciles the two is a mystery.Stephen Desha on the soapbox in Ho-

nolulu is a disgrace to Christianity.Stephen Desha as a paid Republican

heeler must make the angels blush forshame. Stephen Desha, the kahunapule,is degrading his profession for the dol-

lars of the Special Interests who haveweaned him away from the doctrines ofhis fathers and taught him that the Al-

mighty Dollar is more valuable than hishope of salvation.

Stephen Desha, as a soapbox orator,gives the crowds who listen to his bawl-ing- s

occasion to shout, as they doshout, ".Oe punipuni." And StephenDesha, the paid runner of the Republi-can party, has to stand on his soapbox

W .C.

and smile and smirk and pretend' that&.?

he likes it.Stephen Desha has not even the grace'-o-

common courtesy. Yesterday while '

a Democratic speaker was talkiug from'a box on the corner of Bethel and Kingstreets, Stephen Desha mounted anoth-

er box on the opposite corner and be-

gan to make a loud noise with the in-

tention of interrupting the oppositionspeaker. Desha was greeted with thecries of derision that his impudent ac-- ;tion warranted. His attempt to imitateBalaam's ass converted no one.

Stephen Desha ought to confine him- -

self either to Republicanism or , topreaching. The two do not mix well,and he ought, above others, to know it.

AGAIN

tr:V'..

Has Charles Notley sold out to theRepublicans again? ,

The absurdity of Charles Notley run-- 4

ning for the office of Delegate to Con-

gress is and always has been apparent,,to all.

. Do not for a moment suppose that horuns because he thinks he has anychance of election. He knows he hasno more chance of election than has the '

Advertiser a chance of gaining the pub-lic respect. He gets into the running ;

as a matter of speculation, merely, andthen throws his votes to Kuhio.

"If you don't vote for me, vote forKuhio, ' ' says Notley. And then Kuhiogets up and with the same impertinencesays, "If you don't vote for me, vote forNotley."

All of which is a put-u- p job of longstanding and not decent or fair politics.

Notley is in the running for what itis worth, and the Republican party seesthat he gets what it is worth on the the- - .

ory that the subterfuge is worthy of- - its ' ;

hire.

The Story of the Portuguese.

In the forties and fifties of the last' century it few Portuguese came to Ha-

waii, chiefly sailors, who deserted orotherwise left the whaling vessels onwhich they were employed. Theseformed the nucleus of what is now oneof the most important divisions of thepopulation of Hawaii. Those early Por-tuguese established homes in the Islandsand raised families. Some of themtilled their little plots of land; otherswent into business.

Up to 1853, however, there were buteighty-si- x of them in the Islands, and

' the next quarter of a century broughtonly a comparatively small number, thePortuguese in 1878 numbering 436. Fewof them, or of those who came later,hailed directly from Portugal, beingchiefly natives of Payal, Graciosa, St.Jorge and the Cape Verde Islands.

Even thirty-fiv- e years ago the scar-city of labor was a serious drawback tothe success of the plantations, andwhen, in 1876, the reciprocity treatywith the United States was concluded,by which Hawaiian sugar was admittedto the States at a low rate of duty,thereby making the sugar industry per-

manent and much more profitable, thedemand for more and better labor be-

came pressing, and the Kingdom decid-

ed that something must be done.Through the agency of Dr. Hillebrand,the Royal Commissioner of Immigra-tion, arrangements were made to recruitlaborers in Madeira and the Azores. OnSeptember 30, 1878, the sailing vesselPriscilla arrived at Honolulu with 180

Portuguese contract laborers.This was the beginning of assisted im-

migration to Hawaii of a systemwhich, in some form or other, has beenin effect up to the present timej andwhich the last importation of laborers,that of the Russians, has in all probabil-ity fortunately brought to an cud. Forwhile there have been some good resultsfrom c system, the evil effects are to-

day a cur.se to the country.From that time up to the present Por-

tuguese have poured into Hawaii, untiltoday the Portuguese population num-

bers about 20,000. Shipload after, ship-

load came around the Horn. The cur-

rent of immigration was fully estab-

lished by 1882, a treaty of immigrationbeing arranged between Portugal andthe Kingdom of Hawaii.

Portuguese Good Citizens

As a whole, the Portuguese havemade good citizens. They are industri-ous, thrifty and economical. None hasmade a large fortune, yet there are fewwho arc abjectly poor notwithstand-th- e

fact that those who went to the

BY EDWARDthe Pacific

plantations have had to work for ridic-ulously small wages. Associate JusticePerry, of the Supreme Court, is a Por-tuguese, his father being one of the firstwho came to the Islands. Frank An-drad- e,

district magistrate of Honolulu,is a Portuguese. Last year four of themembers of the legislature, Castro, Cor-re- a,

Affonso and Furtado, were Portu-guese.

The Portuguese of Hawaii own realestate valued at about $3,000,000. Theyhave two or three newspapers and sev-

eral mutual benefit societies. Two ofthe latter have 1,800 members each.

The last lot of Portuguese that werebrought to Hawaii as assisted immi-

grants came last year, being recruitedin the Azores and Madeira by J.Campbell, special agent of the Tei'ri-tori- al

Board of Immigration. But theydid not prove an entire success, formost of them arc poorer mentally, phys-call- y

and morally than those who cameearlier. Furthermore, it cost the Terri-tory a large sum to bring them to theIslands, partly on account of accidentsand partly on account of poor judg-ment. About 778 Portuguese arrivedin the steamship Swanley, and they costthe Territory about $150,000. Most ofthem, however, are now settling downas plantation laborers.

A Pinch of Porto Rican in the Mess

If the importation of the Russian im-

migrations is a serious mistake, thebringing into the country of about 5,000Porto Ricans was a blunder that washardly less than a crime. The sugarplanters futuously hoped that in thePorto Rican they might find the solu-

tion of the labor problem. But theydidn't; they only made still worse thesocial and economic conditions of theTerritory. Fortunately, many of thePorto Ricans have gone away. Somehave been hanged and others are injail. Of the remainder, a portion areworking on the plantations ; but manyare loafing about Honolulu, living in thefilthiest tenements, doing as little workas possible, and being looked upon wilhsuspicion every lime a crime is commit-ted by an unknown offender.

The Porto Ricans had been in Hawaiibut a short lime when they began tocomplain noisily that they were not welltreated. They made so much noiseabout it that the Governmentin 1903 sent a commissioner from Wash-ington to investigate into the truth orfalsity of the tales that had reached theNational Capital. The following ex-

tracts from his report pretty well sumup the Porto Rican situation as regardsHawaii :

ers, when they arrived. They had beencarelessly recruited at a time when thelaboring population of Porto Rico wasin a condition of acute distress. Fewwere in a physical condition to make thelong voyage when they embarked ; theywere mostly people from the coffeecountry, who had been starved outwhen the region was devastated by thehurricane of 1899. They Averc half-starve- d,

anaemic, and, in some cases,diseased. A considerable number werepetty criminals, wharf-rat- s and prosti-tutes from Ponce and other coast towns.They were not so much representativesof Porto Rico as of famine and miseryin the abstract when they arrived atHonolulu. Numbers of the men wereafflicted with hydrocele and other dis-

eases, and were manifestly incapable ofworking their way among the .immi-

grants. But this was hardly the faultof the Hawaiian planters, who spentnearly $565,000 to get these men, ormore than $192 passage money and re-

cruiting expenses for every adult malearriving, and who were practically in-

terested in their physical welfare. . .

. When they reached the 'plantations,many of them were taken to the hospi-tals, and never left them alive. Theydid not know how to take care of them-selves. They were morally upset bytheir long travels and changed environ-ment, and many could not acquire thenew habits of life necessary to theirnew condition. So a considerable num-

ber of them became strollers and vaga-bonds, and whenever possible flockedinto the towns.

"The planters appear to have kepttheir side of the agreement. In mostcases, however, the men have left theplantations where they were originallyemployed, and have wandered fromplace to place, taking positions as fancyor necessity dictated. Their habits areuntidy, and this prejudiced the mana-gers of the plantations and the peopleagainst them. They became unpopularon account of the large number of crim-inals that accompanied them. Thievingwas extremely rare in the country dis-

tricts previous to their arrival. Doorsand windows were seldom locked, andsmall articles could be left about withperfect safety. With the arrival of thePorto Ricans all this was changed.

"Commitments to Oahu prison dur-ing the first ten months of 1902 were,per thousand inhabitants: Japanese,1.1; Chinese, 3; whites, 5.3; Hawaii-an- s,

6.1; Porto Ricans, 33.2."Notwithstanding, the planters are

still casting envious eyes in the direc-tion of Porto Rico, and last year it wasannounced that they were going to sendagents to that Island again to recruitmore Porto Rican labor. The announce-ment raised an outcry that made thempause. or Gleghorn de-

clared that if any attempt were madeto bring in more Porto Ricans, he wouldappeal to Congress to put a stop of it.This threat was effective, for there isno, desire to have the Federal authori-ties examine too closely into immigra-tion methods.
