for  Select  Councilman  in  the  Fifteenth  Ward,  he  was  defeated  by 
the  "  organization  "  by  a  small  margin  only. 
Personally  Mr.  Lee  was  genial,  warm-hearted,  and  true  to  the 
highest  ideals.  He  believed  that  character  was  the  most  important 
thing  in  life,  and  that  the  dollar  was  only  a  means  to  an  end.  He  did 
a  man's  work  and  exerted  an  influence  for  good  that  cannot  be 
measured,  because  his  deeds  will  long  live  after  him.  Quiet  and 
modest,  but  positive  in  matters  of  principle,  he  practised  in  life  those 
principles  of  religion  and  morality  which  stamped  him  as  a  man 
among  men ;  he  brought  honor  to  his  craft,  and  won  the  respect  and 
love  of  his  fellows,  hundreds  testifying  of  his  aid  to  them  in  sickness 
and  in  trouble.  . 
His  widow,  Nellie  Florence  Lee,  secretary  of  the  Women's  Branch 
of  the  National  iVssociation  of  Retail  Druggists  and  president  of

Estell  Lee,  survives  him.
