tiers in roll top desk in the room
where the self-slaying was done.
One was addressed to Mrs. Swenson.
one to his daughter, Glee, one to
w. F. Hunt of Lake Crystal and the
fourth to his friends. In the letter
addressed to his friends he thanked
them for what they had done for
him. He thanked Mr.. Hunt for the
many kindnesses that Mr.. Hunt had
shown him. Swenson gave no rea-
son for the act that was to end in
his death. The contents of the letters

GOV. EBERHART HOLDS
LEE SlANDERED STATE

o. Eberhart, in letter to The Fer

ments made by William E. Lee:
st. Paul, Mimi, August Is, 1872
Editor Daily Journal, Fergus Falls,
Minnesota. Dear Sir. My attention
has been called to an article in your
issue of August IA purporting to be
the report of a political meeting
held by Mr.. Lee a candidate for
governor of this state, in which the
statements attributed to Mr.. Lee are
not only misleading but many of
them absolutely without any founda.
ton in fact. If Mr.. Lee is correctly
reported, he displays the grossest
ignorance with reference to the gov.
ernmental affairs of this state, and
his remarks when compared with
the records of the auditor and treas
urer, constitute such SANDER of
the state as will be resented by
every loyal citizen. The readers of
your paper are entitled to all the
facts and l respectfully ask you to
place them before the public verified
by the statements of the state audi
tor and treasurer hereto attached.
Appropriations BY Legislature.
In the first place, it is a well
known fact that all the appropria.
tons which Mr.. Lee discusses are
made by the state. legislature, and
that there is no other body in the
state authorized under our constitu-
ton and laws to appropriate money
for any purpose whatsoever. Any
effort on the part of Mr.. Lee, there
fore. to charge the responsibility for
such appropriations to-. any other
body or individual and to base his
candidacy for governor thereon is
so unfair and unjust as to require
no further comment.
The state tax rate four years ago
is given by Mr.. Lee as 15 mills,
whereas in fact it was 81 mills as
compared with 265 mills for the
year 1911, exclusive of the 1.23 mills
school tax. The additional increase
consists largely of rs mills for con.
structing the new state prison and
20 mills for roads and bridges, 1t
would, therefore, be interesting for
the voters of this state to learn
from Mr.. Lee if he proposes to strike
off these items in order. to reduce
the tax levy to what it was four
years ago.
Misleading Statement.
Mr.. Lee further states that "the
state expenses last year amounted
to over $13,OOO,OOO" No statement
could be more misleading. If by EEK
penses" Mr.. Lee means disburse.
ments, he is about 100000 short,
and if he means actual expenses for
the running of all state institutions
and the cost of the state govern
ment, his figures are about $6,0O0,-
600 too large. The reports of the
state treasurer and state auditor
hereto attached show that the actual
revenue disbursements for the fiscal
year ending July 81, 1912, were S.
276,5S2.54, while the total disburse-

all too soon, when they would be

] He said: "A proper respect for the
