Dear Mr. Editor: I note that you have me as a can- didate for election for Frederiksted town, Perhaps your reporter overheard a con- versation which took place yesterday in which 1 said, when asked if I intended to run for the Coanczil, that I would not oppose Dr. Canegata who bhad so faith- fully and honorab'y served the constitu- ents of this district; and again, when asked if 1 would run for Frederiksted, that I would only do so if the voters in Frederiksted wanted me to represent them. I have had no such requ@st as yet, and therefore cannot be considered a candidata. Very truly yeurs D. HAMILTON JACKSON. 23-4-1923 PASSENGERS LIST.
