Delegates of the County conven-

Delegates of the County Conven- |
ton.
Greeting a number of /
the delegates Of the convention are /
thinking of placing my name in nomi- |
nation as a supervisor at large for the |
County of Oahu, and whereas, there |
is grave doubt as to my taking such a |
course on account of being a member |
Of the Legislature of the Territory,
and whereas it is my cherished wish |
that the majority of the supervisor |
ships shall go to the people of the SOIL |
therefore, in order to prevent any con-
troversy or any impeachments on the
part of the political organization that
stands opposed to us, I humbly re-
quest the delegates who are favoring
the nomination of myself to allow the
matter to lapse and to choose someone
who will not be the cause of unkindly
action on the part of those of the OPP
posing party and in order that we may
| send our nominees for supervisors to
victory and thus guarantee the well
fare of our citizens who are now pos
sessing themselves in patience. At
the same time I wish to thank heartily
those who have been SO kind as to
| think of me as a candidate. / am
ready at all times to bear my share of
all the work the convention may see
fit to give me to do. 1 wish to say
that l will do the very best in my
power to send the nominees of our
party to victory. God will prosper
all our work for the equal rights of
the people.
Very sincerely,
JONAH KUMALAE.

been but one name mentioned. Aki-
