D0|NCS OF THE
LEGISLATURE
Moves to Discharge All Rel
atives of Members From
the House List; Brooks
Coleman Law is Cause of
Fiery Debate.
(By Martin w. Odland)
Special to the American.

st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 12.-The re-
porters at the state capitol are happy
now, for they have had interesting
things to write about-red hot fights
in the house of representatives, with
angry voices filling the chamber,
fierce waving of arms, charges and
counter charges, ridicule, denuncia-
ton. challenges.
The first outbreak of hostilities oc-
Cured Tuesday afternoon, when Rep
resentative S. A. Stockwell Of Min
neapolis introduced a resolution or
dering the speaker and the rules COM
mittee to remove all house employees,
related to members by blood or mar
riage, and appoint in their places
needy eX-servicemen, recently dis
charged from hospitals. Stockwell is
prominent insurance man, who serv-
ed as a Democrat in the state senate
thirty years ago and in recent years
has sat in the house as spokesman
for the farmer-labor party. Unlike
many radicals, he is an ardent dry and
none of his political enemies have
been able to deny that he has lived a
clean life and that he has ever been
untrue to his principles or his con-
victions. The principle charge against
him is that during the World War he
was a pacifist.
In appearance, he is tall, slender
dignified, with silvery hair. standing
upright like old Bob La Follette's, and
stern face, which becomes almost
fierce when he rises in his seat to de-
nounce what he regards as evils in
our government and society. He is an
and unlimited courage. But in debate
he is somewhat lacking in deXterity
and resourcefulness and is inclined to
indulge too freely in sweeping, general
statements On that account, he is
sometimes worsted by Willis l. Nor
ton, leader of the house conservatives
chairman of the rules committee, and
the state administration S chief SpOkeS-
man in the legislature.
A unique figure is this man Norton
of whom you have heard so much in
recent years. and of whom you will
hear and read still more, l dare say
He is a slender, almost girliSh look
ing fellow. You wouldn't take, him for
fighter, a boss" ear" or a
"Mussolini," if you saw him. He glides
noiselessly along the capitol corridors
nor does he make any noise in the
house chamber unless something
comes up in which he is deeply con-
cerned or unless he is attacked by
some daring radical. Then up he gets
gentle and very deliberate to begin

Sharply reduced receipts which the
trade is badly in need of failed to
materialize at the opening today, with
stock again sold weak to CSC lower,

mostly at $1,000. Stockers and feed
ers had slow outlet at about steady
prices, a range of $S.75 to $3.50 taking
the thin end of the crop, fleshy kinds
reaching $1O.75.
A weak opening featured the hog
trade but with some upturns reported
at outside points. the close was firm or

p. m. Mr.. Hay who is at present the
assistant agriculture commissioner,

ness. The regular meeting of the
stockholders will take place before the
dedication.
