Getting there

Questionable statement:

"...one of the only three Caucasians to be elected to a predominately Hawaiian legislature..."

I could not not find that in a source. The roster I have from 1870 shows Hitchcock, Boyd, Martin, Judd, Lyons, and Thompson plus him with non-Hawaiian names (cannot tell actual race). That is seveb, and there were only 24 in it. Not sure it is worth stating? W Nowicki (talk) 01:41, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
