Furnish Facts.

Complaints about whiskey being

Pensacola and that deputy sheriff is

the governors office in Tallahassee
during the past few days have moved
the states executive to write a letter
to Sheriff Van Pelt in which he takes
the latter to task for permitting the
city to run wide open at all times
as he expresses it.
The letter is evidently intended as
virtually an ultimatum to the sheriff.

local situation. When seen yesterday
by Journal representative and in
formed that a copy of the governors
letter would be published, as received
from Tallahassee, the sheriff consent
ed to furnish a copy of his reply also
for publication, in order that conten-

SET forth to the public. Following is

This letter is to request you to get
to work at once and if this deputy is

removed at once and if the whiskey
traffic is not put stop TO, to a great
extent, some active steps will be taken
in very short while. Something must

from early Monday morning until the
close of the drive on Armistice Day a

to put Pensacola over the top.
With $4,000 as the quota for this
county. the committees have n tre-
mendous task before them. but with

Cross work on a firm basis. for had
it not been for the splendid work done
at that time. the results of the influ-
enza epedemic would possibly have
been far more disastrous, and the suf-
fering in the county far more keen.

Red Cross did unusually good work
in Pensacola, and the care rendered the
