自叙伝(8) Tanaka Shozo Autobiography

1883年　４１歳

十六年、塩田新井等、県下に大運動会をなし、大なる熊を拵へて、改進党総理大隈重信に擬し、之を焼き殺す。

In the 16th year Shiota,Arai and others held a big meeting here.They built a big bear and set it in the center.The bear was meant to represent  Okuma Shigenobu,president of the rival Kaishinto."Kuma" is a bear in Japanese.They set fire and burned it.

同年十二月、三島通庸、栃木県令となる。而して未だ赴任せず。大運動会の人々、四方に散じて迹をくらます。

In December of the same year Mishima Michitsune became Governor of Tochigi.He did not set  foot here yet,though.The men who had burned the bear fled and disappeared.

茲に於て、正造決心し、朋友に告げて曰く、三島既に福島に於て彼が如き暴行専横を極め、人を痛め人を罰し、無罪人を凍死せしめ、多く人民を苦めたり。今栃木県に来る。正造、国家の為めこれを退治せんと決したりと。

At this moment I made up my mind and told my friends that I was determined to stand up and fight against this evil man until he would be driven out for the sake of the state.Mishima had exercised  extreme violence as Governor in Fukushima Prefecture.People were hurt,punished,frozen to death.A lot of people suffered because of his actions.Now he comes to our prefecture of Tochigi.
