Letter from George Robert Carter to Peter Cushman Jones
Published under the title, “Are you for President Roosevelt? Here is his political representative’s indictment of Arthur M. Brown,” this letter from George Robert Carter to Peter Cushman Jones speaks out against the nomination of Brown for sheriff of Oahu. While Carter also disproves of the nomination of Richard C. Lane for Deputy Sheriff, he says this is a minor office and that Lane will likely be defeated anyway. Carter speaks out against Brown’s candidacy for sheriff because he believes that, based on past experience, Brown’s administration would be “weak, corrupt, and lawless.” Carter elaborates on what he sees as Brown’s moral failings, and explains his own actions in not speaking out sooner.
