Senate as an independent. Two years ago Mr. Lee ran for governor as an independent, and was defeated. But he polled more than 90,000 votes in a presidential year election. "After making a check of the delegates to the Republican state convention, I am convinced that I would have sufficient support to assure my nomination as one of the candidates for the United States Senate", he said. "It is hard for any man to refuse nomination for high public office by the political party he has supported sup-ported in the past and especially so when so many members of this party have been good friends and supporters. In spite of this, I feel that I would not be honest with myself, nor fair to my friends, if I would seek the Republican nomination. nom-ination. To do so would compromise compro-mise the position I have always taken in the past, namely that the welfare of my country must be placed ahead of party success and that a political party only deserves respect and support, so long as it acts in the best interest of all the people". "The records will show that the people, when given a chance to do so, will vote for that which is fundamentally right and against that which is basically wrong. There is no material difference between be-tween the Democratic or Republican Republi-can Party in their fundamental beliefs. Both now stand for and support the same policy of high tax, waste, and give-away programs. pro-grams. They differ only in their respective claims that each will relieve the people of their earnings a little less painfully than the other.
