ABOUT TONY GALLO
BY ONE WHO KNOWS
Man Who Reproduces His
Baseball Dope Is Capital .

friends all over the country.

best known accident and casualty insur-
ance men. He halls from New York
city, where, for number OF years his

tonal game, and his "Clarka Da Grin

FRIEND OF euBERNAToRiAL
CANDIDATE WRITES INTER
gSTINGLY OF MANY GOOD
TRAITS OF THE MARIANNA
GENTLEMAN.

Jacksonville, Fla, March Ii, 1919
Editor Pensacola Journal.
I heartily congratulate you upon
your excellent editorial In Sunday
Journal Of March 10, IN which you
deal generally with Mr.. Miiton's can
didacy for the Office of governor. and
particularly with his recent state
rnent touching the convict question
and the establishment Of a sugar farm
IN the Everglades.
quite agree with you that this Is
the first clear-ringing. clean-cut propo-
sition advanced by any OF the candi-
dates. and that II is worthy of the
most careful and serious considera-
tion. The abolition Of the convict
aeasing system and the building OF
good roads throughout the state are
ideals worthy the ambition OF any
statesmen. but favorfng an ideal ana
attaining II are two very separate and
distinct things. All the candidates
favor these things. so they announce
but how will they attain them? NIL
ton Is the only one TO work out a
plan.
) II we abolish the convict leasing
kystem and put the convicts to build
ing roads, we will surely get some
kind of results. though I am not sure
they would be satisfactory; but the
loss OF revenue, coupled with the
enormous expense OF feeding, clothing.
Guarding and otherwise caring for the
'convicts. together with the cost Of ma
.cf.inery and materials. would place
grievous increase of taxation on peo-
pie already too heavily taxed. II this
mixed question Of morality and money
could be solved IN no other way. then
I would not hesitate to say, abolish
the trafic In human flesh and blood,
and put the convicts to work on the
roads, without regard TO the additional
heavy burden OF taxation. But Milton
has a carefully worked out plan which
will abolish the system, and at the
same time give the several counties
more and better roads than they
would get under the expensive plan OF
building with convicta-
OTHER GOOD TRAITS.
And there are other traits Of char

commend him to me as a man in every
way fitted for the important and re-
eponsible position OF governor.
He Is a successful man in his OWL

a clerk at salary of ten dollars pei

circumstances. The same careful and

who have contended for the interests
OF the people when encroached upon
by the people of the interests. Some
times he has been victorious, some
times he has been vanquished; but he
has kept right on fighting. In season
and out of season, with the majority
or with the minority, he has devoted
himself to the task of restoring to the
people the reins of government, and
today he is F1orida's foremost ex-
ponent of direct government by the
people, with q full measure Of remedial
checks and balances always in their
hands.
AS a member of the legislature OF
1889, he rendered excellent service as
speaker pro tempore and as chairman
of several important committees. be-
ing almost solely responsible for the
eight ballot box law which dis
franchised the negro, and for the de-
feat Of q powerful organized effort to
abolish the railroad commission. Dur
ing the old convention days he was a
delegate to all the state conventions,
and actively supported such men as
Stephen r. Mallory. L. B. Wombwell
W. d. Bloxham, and q half score OF
more other men OF the same type. He
himself was a prominent candidate for
governor before the Jacksonville con-
vention In 1900, and was finally de-
feAted only through one of those mex
plainable turns which convention poll
tics have q habit OF taking. Many
prominent people feel. even to this
day, that he was Justly entitled to the
nomination.
ALWAYS FOR PRIMARY.
In all these conventions he con-
stantly agitated the primary election
idea, and kept on lighting for It until
