How to hide all the names of small towns on Google Maps

As you know all the names of the large cities with big population are displayed with the large font size and all the names of the small towns are displayed with the small font size. How can I hide all the names of small towns with little population on the map at my website by using API Google Maps?

from the styled map wizard, turn off the "Labels" for neighborhood, locality and parcel:

[
  {
    "featureType": "administrative.neighborhood",
    "elementType": "labels",
    "stylers": [
      { "visibility": "off" }
    ]
  },{
    "featureType": "administrative.land_parcel",
    "elementType": "labels",
    "stylers": [
      { "visibility": "off" }
    ]
  },{
    "featureType": "administrative.locality",
    "elementType": "labels",
    "stylers": [
      { "visibility": "off" }
    ]
  },{
  }
]

code snippet:

function initialize() {
  var map = new google.maps.Map(
    document.getElementById("map_canvas"), {
      center: new google.maps.LatLng(37.4419, -122.1419),
      zoom: 6,
      mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
      styles: [{
        "featureType": "administrative.neighborhood",
        "elementType": "labels",
        "stylers": [{
          "visibility": "off"
        }]
      }, {
        "featureType": "administrative.land_parcel",
        "elementType": "labels",
        "stylers": [{
          "visibility": "off"
        }]
      }, {
        "featureType": "administrative.locality",
        "elementType": "labels",
        "stylers": [{
          "visibility": "off"
        }]
      }, {}]
    });


}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, "load", initialize);
