Random Notes

With the request of Governor Pearson
to be heard by the Senate Committee
which is Investigating his administration
of the Virgin Islands the lid will again
be lifted from the boiIingpo!itical pepper
Dot Other witnesses from the opposition
who did not testify for the reason that
the investigation was virtually discon.
tinued will now take the stand anj try
to throw tbs Governor into the fire.
An official statement captioned
Warning" and signed by the acring
governor Robert herrirk appeared lin
the st, Thomas Bulletin. We reprint it
for the benefit of our readers. Mr. Her
rick believes in reminding the people of
the existence of government and its
powers. This opinion we formed when
we read recent press release relating
to labor organizat Ions. and published in
the island of St. Thomas where the roots
of the political disturbapce goes deep
into the soil.
The New York Times of July IA car
ries an article which we shall reprint on
Monday The last paragraph, however
will sound unpleasant to the ears of the
large majority of the Islands. 1t reads:
at is understood that the President will
ask both Governor Pearson and Judge
Wilson to resign, and will order a fresh
start to be made with clean slate and
revised laws tending to make the islands
mere self. governiDgand more nearly self
supporting. as are their neighbors in Tor
tola and other British Islands of the same
group.
The popular clamor is for the resigna-
ton of Governor Pearson and the re-
tention of the office of TWebber Wilson
Judge of the District Court.

his other statements they simply will not stand the acid test of truth:
 CD I was elected burgess of the first ward by the voters of that ward and all of my efforts on the board have been directed to lock- ing out for the interests of the ward.
 (2) I have pressed consistently for measures favoring improve metts not only in the first ward but in every other ward in the borough, have never been log rolling burgess.
 (3) As for cooperating with tie warden and other members of the board, a review of the records will show that on every important measure, I voted with my fellow democrat members of the board. While on the subject of cooperation. I should like to inquire of MT Me- Namara exactly what he thinks | was the result of his desertion Of the democratic party In the years of 1892 and 1893 when the repub- 1icans won control of the board government largely as a result of MT McNamara's "cooperation". l On the basis of these facts there- fore, am appealing to the regis- | tered democrats of the first ward l'not only to vote for my renomine- | ton as burgess, but to vote as well for the list of delegates of which I am the head. I cannot emphai. size too strongly that not only do I l personally favor the renominatlon of Warden Sheridan but also that the list of delegates Of which am the head is definitely committed to the renomination of MT Shert- dan. By voting for me and my list of delegates, therefore, you are, directly casting a vote for the re-, nomination of Warden John J.. Sheridan, an honor of which he is justly deserving.
 Very truly yours, l JOSEPH DINNENY. M
