To the Voters of the County of Maui.
Gentlemen: Upon the urgent request of my many friends throughout this county, to be a candidate for the House of Representatives on the Republican ticket at the coming primary, I hereby announce myself a candidate from the Hana District.
My principles and policies are to support each and every plank of the Republican Platform as adopted by the convention held for that purpose at Honolulu of which convention I was a member.
