Dear Mr.. Editor:

Please allow me a little
space here as a citizen and
voter to give my opinion on
the "wilful minority of the
st. Thomas Legislature.
/ would just like to remind
these men that never / hope,
will any Crucian legislator
stoop so low as to go to ST..
Thomas and openly abuse any
St. Thomian legislator over.
there however wrong they
may be or however much they
differ.
One of them mentioned last
night that we should clean our
own house first before med
ding in the affairs of others.
Good-St. Thomas at present
has enough mess that they
have left unclean to come
here.
Councilman Hodge must
have been very embarrassed
to hear them criticize even
him in such an indecent man
ner.
We know that seeing the
gathering they felt assured
of much applause, but the lit
tie applause given was mostly
from non-voters and youngI
people who has not matured
enough to see beneath the sur
face.
When the "wilful minority
heard st. Croix anticipated
having other airlines operat-
ing here, didn't they run like
to prevent it and stab us in
the back? When we wanted a
lottery for all the Virgin Is
lands going on a half and half
basis didn't they solicit the re-
fusal Of all St. Thomas Deal
ers either by fair or foul
means?
When they heard the presi-
dental party preferred ST..
Croix didn't they run and pass
resolutions inviting high rank
ing officials to buy land in St.
Thomas rather than in St.
Croix?
When they learned Of a VT
co recharter didn't they open
~ express themselves in st.
Thomas of fearing st, Croix
would come on TOP.

him SO just at the time P. r.
got theirs that he didn't bother
to fight. These are on record.
To the "Wilful minority,
from your performance of last
night and your contradictory
statements we see both news
papers can't be wrong and
there are times when all four
are in harmony against your.
CANISTER tactics. We learn you
wanted Mr.. Harrigan to pre-
side for you last night, what
a nerve. Didn't you same men
condemn him a few months
ago in our own homeland.
Think twice before you act
and you'll get the approval Of
intelligence.
Admit to the public that
your main headache is the
strides st. Croix is making to-
wards a brighter future and
you are trying to divide and
conquer but it won't work.
Don't you see even your
former friends don't invite you
to their homes here. Clean the
mess you have left in st. Tho
mas and tell them what you
did with 100000 you had not

of that for hardly any of the
four have any trade and we
know one of them told a SEN

and master of none.
The two st. Thomas papers
print a lot about them but may
be now they are trying to get
the one paper to string along
with their "ganster tactics"

There are cunning men who

because they see it in print
they jump on you; but fear not

They are against the Gov
ernor because he halted their
Wanton spending let us not for
get, they hated Governors
HARDWOOD, Cramer, Pearson

a Governor after he has left
these islands.
Crucian's don't go for cheap

genuine stuff. Now that Judge,
Moore has handed down his
decision in favor of the Gov
ernor he too can expect that
altho two weeks ago they
were glad for his reappoint-
ment they are going all out
with criticism against him.
I'd like to tell this "wilful
minority no decent ST. Tho

vote now, for decency is de-
cency and if an error was
made to put Justice in the
hands of bloody beasts in our
Democratic system there is a
day called voting day when
we can show our preference.
