First Brazilian Republic election reports from Pará
Correspondent from Brazil describes the September 16 election day in Pará as one of the quietest in the city’s history, with over two thirds of votes in favor of the Republican government. Discussion covers three main parties, the clergy exclusion from elections, and the upcoming constitutional debates modeled after the United States, including a six year presidency and long terms for representatives and senators.
