FLORIDA'S NEW SENATOR

William Hall Milton, of Mariana,
is one of the best known and most
respected men in west Florida. He IS
q native of jackson county. of which
Mariana is the county seat, and is
AZ years of age.
More of a business man than a pol
itician, Senator Milton has, neverthe-
less, mixed in politics constantly. He
has been a member of the state legis-
lature and was a candidate for gov
ernOr before the convention which
nominated w. S. Jennings. His father,
John Milton, was governor of the
state of Florida during the civil war;
Mr.. MiltOn's first political job was
as city clerk Of Marianne i'm 1887,
1888 and 1890, when Henry Brash.
now of Tampa, was mayor of Ma
rianna.
After leaving the service Of the city
he served a term in the state legiS-
lature and then entered business with
w. j. Daniel as a cotton warehouse
broker Later they established the
First National Bank of Mariana, of
which Senator Milton is president
1t is believed that Governor Brow
ards appointment will give general
satisfaction throughout the state. as

ing a member Of any political clique
