"Kampaign Kitty" Joins
Central High Orchestra

While tuning up" this morning the
Central High School orchestra heard a
faint noise in the auditorium. When
the members looked around and found
nothing, they surmised it was one of
their own instruments.
They started to play the opening
march when a very distinct, meow
was heard. Everybody stopped and
looking up on the platform they cis-
covered a little black cat.
Kitty was captured by one of the
choir boys, and remained in the choir
throughout chapel and, of course
helped in the singing.
The choir boys named the cat Kan

Two Years Before Post

said this afternoon that the way things
are going now 1t looks as though the
addition will not be finished for at
least two years. The reason for this
is that the contractor does not have
the new plans that are necessary since
the increase in the appropriation from
$125,000 to 100000 was made. This
increase made it possible to erect two
more stories to the annex and the
plans for these have not been made
and, given to the contractor, who
cannot go ahead without them.

Balance of Democratic Power in
House Lies With "Boss"

Majority of Voters Favor
Protection
BIG REPUBLICAN, GAIN

Washington, d. c., Nov 5.-Badly
beaten in New York, Charles F. Muir
ply, boss of Tammany Hall, neverthe-
less, will be in complete control of
Congress as result of Tuesdays cleo
tions.
The Democratic majority in the
House, late returns show, has been
reduced to II votes The votes by
which the Democratic Administrator
still controls the operation of the
House represent nearly the full
strength of Tammany Hall in that
body.
Not a single legislative measure will
be possible of enactment in the Sixty
fourth session of Congress, therefore,
without the consent of Charles f.
Murphy, the boss whom William Jen-
nings Bryan, now Secretary of State.
read out of the Democratic party at
the Baltimore convention.
Landslide Greater
The Republican landslide, resulting
from the protest of the voters against
the destruction of the protective tariff
principle and the vicious attacks on
business, has taken on bigger proper
tons as delayed returns comes in.
1t Is now certain that in addition
to the Republican sweep in Pennsylva-
MIA, New York, Connecticut, New
I
Eastern States, there has been a COM
| plete victory in Ohio and a decimation
of Democratic strength throughout
the West.
The one big fact that stands out
from the returns is that the Progress
i've party has performed an amazing
disappearing act. Scarcely a vestige
of Colonel Roosevelt's once formidable
party remains. The Republican re-
union may be said to be virtually COM
plete. The evidence of renewed power
which has been given by the Republi-
can party, virtually without any di-
recting head, doubtless will bring the
stragglers back to the ranks so that
united front may be presented in
1916.
National Issue in Ohio
Frank B. Willis has been elected
Governor of Ohio. His election was
unexpected. The Republicans believed
they had chance to capture the SEN
atorship from that State and they did
so; but the fact that Governor Cox,
the Democratic candidate for re-elec-
ton, was backed by all those who
were opposed to prohibition was con-
sdered in his favor. Willis favored
the adoption of constitutional
amendment for State-wide prohibition,
and the strangest part of 1t Is that
while prohibition was crushingly de-

Well Known Fargoan's Ill
ness Had Not Been
Thought Critical
STOMACH TROUBLE CAUSE
Fin" Told His Brother He
Wanted to Sleep, Then
Passed Away

William Ffndley Leech, familiarly
known to most Fargoans as Fin"
Leech. died at his home in the Edwards
block about 10:15 a. m. today, after
an illness extending over the past sew
eral weeks. Death, however, was un-
expected.
Mr.. Leech, who perhaps was the
largest man in Fargo, has been suffer-
ing some time with stomach trouble,
and his condition was so weakened by
the warm weather that heart trouble
was largely responsible for his demise.
A report was in circulation several
days ago to the effect that Mr.. Leech
had died, but this was erroneous, and
at that time he was feeling much bet
ter than he had for some time. This
morning he appeared to be much i'm
proved in health and in better spirits.
Addison Leech, his brother, asked him
II the change in weather was agree
able, and the response was that he
was feeling better, but was very sleepy
and few minutes later, when Addison
Leech again entered the room, he found
that life had gone out peacefully.
Mr. Leecha was born in. Leechburg,
Pa, March 13, 1858, the son of Major
and Mrs. Addison Leech, well sknown
North Dakota pioneers. He first came
to Minnesota in 1853, but returned to
Erie, Pa, two years. later, where he re
sided until he moved to North Dakota
in 1880 The Leech farm was located
near Addison, and here he remained
until 1891, when he came to Fargo.
Since that time he has lived here con
tinuously, and for many years has been
at the head of the Fargo Bottling
Works company, of which he was man
ager and proprietor.
Mr.. Leech was a prominent member
of the local Elks lodge, and served the
order in the capacity of Exalted Ruler
in 1895. He also was at the head of
the U. C. t., in this CITY, and was a
member of all the Masonic bodies
His surviving relatives arch moth
er, two brothers, Addison, county audi
tor of Cass county; John, of Erie, Pa,
and five sisters. ,...,
Funeral arrangements are not com
pleted, but 1t is probable the body will
be taken to Erie, Pa, for burial, pro-
badly leaving Fargo late tomorrow or
Sunday.
The news of Mr.. Leechs death
brought sorrow to a host of friends,
who were not aware of the serious ma
ture of his illness.
