Grey and frustration
Moacyr Moura Lamb

The political movement that sought to elect Getúlio Vargas and João Pessoa president and vice president, called "Liberal Alliance", had in the year following its formation in 1930, an amazing growth in Prudentópolis.
Ducks-Old Herbal and only if the candidates spoke of the Alliance.
Caboclos misinformed Rio Ducklings and Matão waged estapafúrdios dialogues like this:
- Nho Mane, who is Vance think will win the inleição?
- Uai, can only be the Getuio Gaspa.
- Hem, home of God.
Vance ta loco.
Nho Gaspa here is the Ducks. The candidate is Getuio Vargas.
They say it is of the South
-Oh! ...
The expansion of the Liberal Alliance was due to family Pereira da Cunha, the surveyor Calió, Teodoro Rocha both Nene and other grandees, and far more than all of them, Dr. Sagy Naked, calculating politician, married to Dr. Naked Walkyria Moreira da Silva, both lawyers.
Concerned about the spread of the opposition, the state government tried to stop the steps of Sagy Naked.
For both named Peter Pierre de Oliveira as police chief Prudentópolis.
Pierre was considered a bad guy and arrogant.
Soon after the inauguration of Pierre, Sagy suffered threats.
It was also reported that he was prohibited from entering the police station.
But Sagy Naked man who was not to be frightened of the frown of the delegate.
Neither he nor Teodoro Rocha Nene. Both continued to propagate the name of Getúlio Vargas.
The first of March, election day was terror to opposition Prudentópolis.
Since the legislation did not provide for the use of one, the voter was obliged to give his vote before the menacing eyes of Pierre and his soldiers.
Despite the bravery of the delegate, had voters playful and provocative.
One of them, the young Jorge Grus, the interior of a truck Techy John, run by the owner, at the instant that the vehicle passed the front of the building where the polling stations were installed, getting up in the stirrup and fender, shouted with all force: - "Viva Vargas!"
Some soldiers flushed, others became pale, but when they decided to react, it was too late. The truck was already gone.
The defeat of Júlio Prestes and his running mate Vital Soares, would mean the failure of the efforts of Pierre. And that was that all present were predicting.
At about fifteen hours, Pierre could not help himself.
Angry, sent incinerate the voting material.
Astonished, the population saw the soldiers
Burned in the public square nifty voting, books and proceedings.
Election, nothing would be left but ashes and frustration.
