Maj. Lee controls the county missioners, dictated the policy of the Legislature during its last session and attempts to exercise judicial sway by control of the police force, Mr. Welsh alleged. He said Maj. Lee “appoints his own chief of police, who can settle eases before they ever come to the notice of the States’ attorney.” The speaker assert=d that the minutes of the Board of County Commissioners show that no vote on any question has been taken in two years. and that the reason for the unanimity of opinion among the commissioners is caused by the dictatorship of Maj. Lee. “They are only his rubber stamps,” Welsh _declared. ~ “We don’t care who | they are, but we are against them and against Lee.” Declared Inefficient. G.0.P.ORATORSHIT DEMOCRATIC RULE Maj. E.
