Leach Elected Mpls Mayor
Over Socialist Candidate

Minneapolis, June 15.-Colonel G..
Il. Leach, unofficial republican can
didate, was elected mayo of Mime
apolis in yesterdays election, accord
ing to virtually complete returns to-
night. Unofficial ngures gave him a
lead of nearly Ii, 900 votes over Thorn
as Van Lear, candidate supported by
Labor and the Working Peoples Non
Partisan Political league.
Four new socialist and Labor can
didates were added to the council ac-
cording to incomplete and unofficial
figures tabulated tonight. This will
bring the Socialist and Labor MEM
bership in the council to eleven.
There are 26 alderman in the council.
Four years ago Van Lear was elect
ed mayor with Socialist party endorse
ment by about 1900 votes over Sheriff
Otto S. Lanson of Hennepin county, a
republican. 1t was Van Lear's third
attempt to gain the office. Two years
later he was defeated for reelection
by 1900 votes by J.. e. Meyers, re-
publican present mayor, who declined
to be a candidate at this election.

Non-Partisan League
Start Early Campaign

Mitchell, S. ID. June 13.-South Da-
kota N%onpartisan league members de-
monstrated strikingly on Tuesday
night the fact that the league is now
the second principal party in this
state, when approximately 1,5O0 mem
bers of the organization gathered here
to hear Gov. Lynn Fraser, of North
Dakota, explain the doctrines of the
league.
BY reason of the heavy league vote
cast at the last general election and
by operation of the Richards primary
law the league will be the party which
contends with the republicans at the
next gubernatorial election. Taxation
is to be the big question raised by the
league during the coming campaign,
which will open this fall, and the in
itial stecs to launch the league drive
against existing institutions will be
taken at this convention. Good roads
and excellent weather have made pos
sible an attendance far beyond the
hopes oil the league leaders.

First 1921 Harvesting
Begins With Alfalfa Crop

Pierre, June THE first harvest
ing of the 1921 crop is on in South
Dakota, with the first cutting Of al
falfa begun, and by the time this Is
completed winter rye, If il keeps up
its progress, will require attention in
the earlier sown fields.
Farmers over the state say that the
rye is farther along than usual for
the season, and that IL will not be
long until the fields will begin to
show color.
Rains have been more frequent in
the southern and western part of the
state than in the northern section
east of the river. While they have
had plenty OF moisture, they would
not object to more, as the clouds of
dust which follow the corn c~ultivators
show rain wocld be beneficial.
The weather has not been such as
to rush corn along, but it is making
fair progress, and cultivation is UNI
der way all over the state. Up to the
present there have been no especially
heavy rain storms. and very little
hail.
The next 60 days are the critical
ones in the crop situation, either from
lack of moisture, or too much of it
accompanied by hail and possible
rust, but the crop conditions could
not be better over the whole state
than they are just now.

Claim Pheasants Raid
And Destroy Wild Fowl

The latest complaint against the
Chinese pheasants, which are becom-
ing so numerous in this county and
many sections of the state, is that
they seek out and destroy the nests
of wild ducks and prairie chickens.
One man tells of their breaking up
the nests of eight wild ducks on his
place, eating the eggs and driving
the ducks from the locality.
Others say that numbers of nests
of grouse and prairie chickens are
destroyed by the gaudy-looking phea-
SAINT cocks who strut about the fields.
