IS lee A D'|0DCER?
Failed to Vote on County 0p-
ton When In Legislature.
.EvAOED OTHER BIG QUESTIONS
Candidate Did Nothing for Anti-Pass
Bill, Direct Primary or Cor.
rupt Practices Act.

St. PauE(SpeciaD-In a statement
issued last August, declaring that
Candidate Lee is for county option,
G. B. Bjornson, his manager, said that
mr.. Lee has never lodged this is
sue and never WILL"
Legislative records do not bear out
this statement. When Mr.. Lee had a
chance to vote for a county option
bill, when he was speaker in 1888,
he failed to do so. The bill was in
troduced by J. F. Jacobson of Madi-
son. Speaker Lees temperance COM
mittee lodged and returned the bill
without recommendation. The house
killed the bill by a motion to lay it
on the table. The vote was Al to 80.
Mr.. Lee was among those not voting.
The house in 1898 passed a primary
election bill, but Mr.. Lee was among
those who did not vote for it. The
bill was killed in the senate.
The use of railroad and street car
passes by legislative members previ-
GUS to the passage Of the anti-pass
bill during Governor Johnson's admin
istration was notorious. A bill pro-
hibiting the use or giving of passes
was defeated by the 1893 session.
Mr.. Lee did not vote for the bill
A bill Ito prevent corrupt practices
in elections and to provide for pub
licity of and to limit election ex-
penses" was also before that session,
but was killed. J. F. Jacobson and
other progressive members made sew.
eral attempts to advance the bill, but
in no case do the records show that
Speaker Lee voted with them.

Lee Liberal With Passes.

Records of the state fair board
show that in 1909 w. E. Lee, then q
member of the board, made the mo-
ton to give all heads of state depart
ments season pass to the gates and
grandstand, and all other state en-
ployes a one-day ticket to the gates
and grandstand. Mr.. Lee seconded the
motion providing that building be
set aside for the entertainment OF
legislative members at the fair. I'm
der this motion the state paid 1921 to
eight men, three Of them Legislative
members, for entertaining other legis
lative members at the fair. Mr.. Lee
was a member of a committee of two
which spent 500 of state money buy
ing dinners for legislative members
at the fair that year.

Cavalry Battles o.
cur in France.
FOR SANITARY REASONS
Germans Abandon Positions Of
Considerable Strength.

London, Oct. 12.-W1th the conclu-
sion of that phase of the war of the
nations which came with the fall of
Antwerp the censorship again has
drawn a veil over the fighting in the
greater part of the European CONT
nent.
The French communication issued
deals only with the battle, or series
of battles, which has been in progress
for four weeks from east to west in
France with an ever extending line
which now reaches northward from
the elbow at Noyon to and across the
Belgian border at Armentieres.
The statement says that the allies
have held their positions everywhere
and that German cavalry which was
attempting to envelop the allies left
wing and had seized certain points of
passage on the River Lys to the east
of Aire was defeated and retired to
the northeast into the Armentieres
district.
At the same time the Germans de.
Hvered vigorous attack on the right
bank of the Ancre river between Ar.
ras and the Disc, without making any
progress.
This indicates that the battle in Pi.
cardy, comprising the department of
Somme and part Of Disc, Pas de Calais
and Aisne, in which the cavalry is par.
ticipating on scale not seen in pre-.
vious modern wars, extends over a
very considerable area. Here are
many miles of open country, where
horsemen can maneuver.
Germans Abandon Positions.
Between the River Disc and Rheims,
and particularly in the region north
west of scissors, where the British
forces are entrenched, further prog.
ress has been made. It thus seems
probable that the Germans have aban.
doned some of their strongly en-.
trenched positions in this neighbor.
hood. 1t is reported that sanitary
reasons have compelled this, as the
trenches in which the troops have
been living for weeks have become
breeding places for disease.
The Germans have resumed their
night attacks between Craonne and
Rheims, which, according to French
accounts, have been repulsed. From
Rheims to the Meuse nothing of i'm
portance has occurred of late, but in
the Apremont district Of the Woevre
to the east of St. Mihiel the Germans
made violent attacks Friday night and
the following day.
Apremont was taken by the Ger
mans, but was retaken by the French
and remains in their hands. The Ger
mans apparently are determined to
maintain as far as possible their posi-
tons here, where they have pierced
the line of Notifications between Yer
dun and Toul along the River Meuse
Should they be successful against the
allies elsewhere this doubtless would
be the route by which they would en-
deavor to enter the heart of France

ACCUSES TRIO

Constable L. c. Jones and Lieuten-
ant J. A. Doris, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad police, had small sized bat
tie with John Dugan when they ar
rested late yesterday afternoon in
connection with the attempt to force
an entrance to the railroad tower near
Porters Station early yesterday. Du-
gan was located on the Eastern side
of the tower and when the officers
started towards him Dugan began
welding a huge piece of iron. The Off
GERS we're unable to close in on Dugan
without being hit and they were COM
PEELED to draw their blackjacks. This
display Of force awed Dugan who
gave up.
Dugan, with John Carney and John
McGraw, was arrested and taken be-
fore Magistrate Lewis on charge OF
attempting forcible entrance. The men
said they could prove an alibi and were
allowed to go until Monday night when
they will be arraigned.
Edward Mellon, who was held under
/ $500 bail on the same charge by Mag
! istrate Lewis according to the author
tiles says Dugan, McGraw and Carney
were with him when he was shot In
the hip by a farmer who went to the
assistance of the telegraph operator
