an executive session for the further
consideration of the nomination of VIII

With TheLegislator

h one man in the house who has
troubles of his own is Representative
Mitchell. chairman of the committee on
organization of courts. His commit
tee has in its possession several of the
bills introduced on court matters, and
the senate bills have been passed for
the creating of different courts and
judicial circuits. and the big Hobbies
behind these bills are trying to get
Mitchell TO report them out. But the
young representative from Clark and
Washington knows of the rumors con-
corning some of these bills, and he
knows, too, that there are many mem
bers in the house opposed to them, so
he does not propose to take any chances
to being a party to any of the scandals
floating around some of these bills.
And despite the ~pleadings and the
threats of the lobbyists he is standing
firm and will make no reports until he
is satisfied that the bills are all right
and other more important legislation is
disposed OF.
Senator Bowser has two more bills
credited to him. as the following rec
