Lee of Long Prairie that he will be a candidate for governor at the primaries next June. Coincident with this announcement, which tends to divide the opposition to Eberhart, came announcement of a meeting in Minneapolis to arrange a conference for the purpose of uniting the opposition to Eberhart. Mr. Lee in his announcement care- fully omits to state on what ticket he will file. He was a candidate for the Republican nomination in 1912, but it hhas been rumored that he will file as a Progressive this year. In a 1,200- word statement ‘he declares that “the logic of the situation leads to my present candidacy.” He alleges that “an antiquated and complex governmental system, a sub- servient governor with his enormous patronage and system of enforced as- gessments; an unholy alliance of brewery interests, public service cor- porations and other special privilege seekers and an astute professional bess directing the machine, have made the Tammanyism of Minnesota an accomplished fact.” HUNDREDS OF MOORS FALL Spanish Forces Slay Tribesmen in Bloody Battle.
