Stanley Milledge, who will become state attorney in Juiy, evidently is laboring now under the same-erroneous impressicn,; judging by a statement he made in a Miatht® newspaper about the appoiniment of an as- sistant in Key West. £ It is right and it is just for Milledge | chcose his own sistant and not have thrust upon him any man who, Milledge be- lieves, will not be in concord with his an- nounced admirable concepts in his determi- natien to enforce the law in this district. That is Milledge’s privilege, but, in ex cising it, he should not smear Key West wi the same tarbush that he uses to smear Miami. In the first place, Mr. Milledge, Key | | West has no beokmakers, who, as you are —.| aware, flourish in Miami; secondly, Ke; West has no racketeers, as has Miami, which has been the camping ground, par- ticularly in the winter, of racketeers for | . Many years; thirdly, Key, West hase y Basco | steerers. as Miamhi shas“had, and stitbthass fourthly, Kiey West, ha’ never harboredr ay Miami bas Harbored, gangs of cutthroais and ‘assassins, who! coming from Chicago, New York and « {her large cities, have con- | | grégated seasondlly in Miami.

And gam- bling is gcing on in Key West this very min- ute, Mr. Milledge, but it is “‘chicken-feed”’ gambling compared to the stakes that change hands in Miami’s gambling palaces. While The .

Milledge, if your power extends to Ha- vana, you can stop the playing of bolita in Key West. Men, with blank pads, go aro town selling bolita tickets on the ending | numbers in the Havana lottery.
