ST CRD 1 A LB Correspondence Editor Th: ‘‘St. Craix A,. ' Dear Mr. Editor:— In aceepting nomination for elec- tion in Frederiksted, I°feel that I am no stranger to the el-ctorate there. I have lived three and a half years among them; I have come in almost daily contzat with them—at least more'often than some of the candidates who are row up for elec- tion. I know Frederiksted, I know its needs, and if elected 1 shall do all that is in my power to show the electorate that even though I shall perhaps be single han iad, I shall defend the fair name of this community against all indignities from outsidars. I = \ll try to first of all look into evir me are brought befote the Council and to lew it, not with my o‘ivn eyes, byt wit.a the eyes of the peo- ple. I am not running against Mr. Coulter, as stated in some of the locil pap2rs. Mr. Coulter is a gentleman and a citizen worthyof the respect of all. As such citizen, [ too respect and admire him and am even prouc of him as ason of che soil. But I am running against the sheriff—the ecommon hangman—of the Municipality. In doing this I shall not -e any subterfuge or indulge in mud- linging: but [ shall strenuously oppose any further intrusion and imposition upon a long suffering public. I shall come forward later and state to the voters why I have d:ciled to accept n>mination. Yours very truly D. HAMILTON JACKSON. April 26, "923. TELEGRA MS. ST. CROIX STATION.
