Robert w. Single, chairman Of the
Republican Territorial Central Com

to his rumored candidacy for Repub-
lican nomination for Delegate at the
coming election, dictated the following
statement for The Advertiser,
have been urged by many Repub-
licans to seek nomination. for Dele
gate on the Republican ticket this fall,
and have been assured of their hearty
support. The matter has been given
very careful consideration ty me, and
have also consulted with my friends
and business associates in regard to
the matter.
Il have finally determined that under
no circumstances will be candidate,
and in order that there may be no mis-
understanding on the subject by any
ore, desire that this statement be made

personal aud business reasons. 1t Is
not prompted in the slightest degree
by any fear of what the result might
be il i were to receive the nomination.

bound to be such. SO strong do Re-
publican ideas prevail in the Territory

lican nomination is sure of election.

ranks of our party--Republican success
is dOubly assured. r
Progressive following in this Ter
ritory will be negligible. The think
ing people of these Islands quite fully
recognize that the Progressive move.
