MR.. MILLIONS PICTURE.

Hon. W. II. Milton, whose speech
on the issues of the gubernatorla
campaign was listened to attentively
by many Tampans last night, devoted
considerable portion of his re-
marks to his plan for working the
convicts on a great sugar plantation
in the Everglades.
MIR. Milton is making this the lead
ing plank in his platform. AS shown
by the Tribune, in an exhaustive
discussion OF the proposition a lew
days ago, the scheme is impractlcaDle
and would prove most expensive eX-
pertinent to the people.
Mr. Milton has, in his literature, a
picture OF a sugar Plantation III the
Everglades, which, we are informed
by the Miami Herald, is a picture Of
a plantation fully 100 miles distant
from the Everglades and out OF exist
cnce for he past twenty years.
This is almost equal to the famous
photograph of blowing in the Ever
glades'' which was touched upon in
the recent debate in the House OF
Representatives. The photograph
showed "A farmer plotting a pillow
through the tall grasses of that re-
gion; and when the truth was
learned, 1t was discovered that the
subjects of the photograph were
standing in boat while the photo
grapher himself occupied another
boat a short distance away.
The fact that the plantation pic
tured by Mr.. Milton was abandoned
twenty years ago is pretty good evil
dcncc that it was failure.
Mr.. Milton scheme will not APP
peal to sensible voters who take the
trouble to inquire "A bit into its de-
tails. 1t is being used as Il yotcget
ter but, in the opinion OF the Tribune
it will prove about as valuclcss in
that respect as one of MIR. Milton )
convict worked sugar plantations in
the Everglades would prove valueless

Of their investigation cannot but be
gratifying to those whose official

The fair-minded people of this
