George Robert Carter sends President Roosevelt his resignation as 2nd Territorial Governor of Hawaii. Carter feels that his former business associates no longer support him in his political fight against the election of the “corrupt and immoral” nominee for county Sheriff, Arthur M. Brown. Carter had previously removed Brown from office. If he is elected, he will control the police force of Honolulu and the island of Hawaii. Carter wishes to explain the situation further in person to Roosevelt.
