CARDINALS MAKE
IT TEN STRAIGHT
Sleepy Eye Again Defeated,
Count Ends is to IL
st. Peter Here Friday

Showing a much sitter brand of
competition, the Sleepy Eye High
School basketball team played the To-
calls on fairly even terms in the Sec
ond game played between these two
teams in eight days. The game was
held at Sleepy Eye last Friday night,
with Redwood Falls winning by a 16
to IL count. Saterlie's Juniors also
triumphed over the Sleepy Eye Ju-
nior Quint by 18 to IL score.
Of the six field goals made by the
locals, Peterson collected four, with
Bravinder and Finn each getting one.
The free throws went to Captain Wor-
sech with three, and one to Bravin-
der.
By winning this contest, the locals
have been victorious in ten games
this season without defeat, of these
nine were schedule games with teams
of the district while the odd game
was against the Guardsmen.
Next Friday night, Stockton will
pit his men against a district leader,
St. Peter. This is the first game
between these two teams. Both teams
seem to have the better of the argu-
ment in each district. The game will
be held at the Lincoln School gymna-
SUM. A preliminary game in which
the Girls Inter-Class- Championship
will be played has been scheduled to
start at 7:45 o'clock with the big
game beginning promptly at $3.50 p.
m. Season tickets will not admit the
bearer to the st. Peter game. The
High School band will play at this
game.
Following the st. Peter game, the
locals will have stiff week. On
Wednesday, February goth, Morgan
will play here, while on the next
night, Stockton's Quint will play at

Moves to Discharge Relatives
of Members and Repeal
Brooks Coleman Law
By Martin w. Odland

Special to the Gazette.
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
a 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 a 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 principal 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
able orator, with clear, ringing voice
and unlimited courage. But in debate
he is somewhat lacking in dexterity
and resourcefulness and is inclined to

ninth DISTRICT BAR
OPPOSES CHANGES
Objects to Broadening Privi-
leges of County Attorneys;
Redwood Attorneys On.

Various important matters were up
for discussion at the annual meeting
of the Ninth Judicial District Bar as
sociation, held at Turner hall, Satur-
day afternoon, after having been
postponed for a week, due to incle-
ment weather and bad roads. The
business session was called to order
at o'clock, by President Alfred w.
Mueller of New Ulm. Attorney Will
liam R. Mitchell of Tracy acted as
secretary, in which capacity he has
served the association for many years.
Among other important matters
discussed at the meeting, were pro-
posed changes in criminal procedure,
including the right Of the state, in a
criminal action, to have the closing
argument, and the right of county at
torneys to file informations in all
criminal cases, except those involv-
ing a death sentence. Most of the
lawyers present were opposed to the
amendment. The law now provides
that county attorneys may file infor-
nations in criminal proceedings,
where the maximum penalty does not
exceed 10 years.
Attorney w. H. Dempsey of New
Ulm, who served as vice president OF
the association, during the past year,
was elected president, to succeed At
torney Mueller. Attorney N. R. Ryer-
son of Redwood Falls is the new vice
president, while secretary-treasurer
Mitchell was reelected.
The grievance committee, body
created. during the past year, and
which had been originally named by
the retiring president, was reap
pointed by his successor. The MEM
bers are: Attorneys Henry N. Benson,
st. Peter, chairman; James H. Hall,
Marshall; Henry N. Somsen, New
