THE impression seems to prevail that
W.n. E. Lees candidacy for governor is
in some indehnable manner hostile to
the interests of Congressman Towne.
Far from it. Mr.. Lee was repeatedly
urged to enter into an active candidacy
for congress this fall, long before he con-
sented to become candidate for COVER
nor, but, peremptorily declined. Most
OF Lees warm supporters are Mr..
Towne's ardent admirers.
