Pierson may have been removed as Gov. yet he still holds Govt Job in Washington. Lawrence Cramer does not object to being called "Larry" - true Jacksonian Democrat!
The attitude of the govt. crowd toward the islanders has served to make them feel that in spite of being American citizens they are not Americans. I have noticed that when they speak of the govt crowd they say "the Americans." I think the fault lies with the people sent down here - from the governor down. He was heard to tell a certain gentleman - who was born on the island, and given American citizenship thereby that he was not an American. To which the man replied "I may not be American in your eyes, but I have just enough Irish in me to clean up on the likes of you." Then sometime later Cramer opens a ball at Gov't House by dancing with a negress - it is a wonder that the white people wonder where they are? The white descendants of the Danes & Irish who settled this island are ignored, and cut out of any govt entertainments (with the exception of a few who have wangled govt jobs)
