Click on image to zoom in
Governor Carter’s time in the executive office for the territory of Hawaii will be ending in November. Carter has no interest in continuing his time in the position, but he hopes President Roosevelt might do something for Alatau L. C. Atkinson, secretary for the territory. Atkinson does not wish to become governor, but if he were promoted to another government position, and Carter’s successor were named early, the latter could take Atkinson’s position as secretary. The new governor would be able to become familiar with the duties of the office before acceding to the governorship at the end of Carter’s term.
