TALKING
ON T0CAIRo
DeIesate.EIect Robert L. Gregory
Talks.
Says West Virginians Are All For River
Improvement. Will Father
a Resolution.

PIrTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 49,
"There will not be the slightest
diff ,ulty In securing the passage of
the On 10 Cairo resolution In the
coming West Virginia legislature
the people of the State are all for
1t and even demanding 1t. Oar two
Senators-Scott and Elkins-can-
not afford to oppose 1t and 1t will
be one of the first measures of the
Legislature.
These were the wor s of Repre-
sentative Elect Robert L. Gregory,
of Tyler county, West Virginia,
who is business visitor In Pitts :
burg. Representative Gregory is
an enthusiastic advocate OF the i'm
mediate and entire improvem INT OF
the Ohio river and Is leading the
fight In that direction In the neigh
borhood of his home In Sistersville,
w. Va
He already has a resolution pre-
pared similar to the one which has
passed the Ohio legislature and will
introduce 1t at the session Of the
West Virginia legislature, which
convenes January 2. 1t will be In
the nature of joint resolution and
on the same day OF It's introduction
into the House 1t will come up In
the State Senate. Mr. Gregory was
assisted in Its preparation by James
Francis Burke, OF Plttsburg
This Is too important a matter
to be passed over lightly and every
member OF The House to whom l
have talked Is enthusiastic for Its
passage. West Virginia should
NOT be the only State to follow in
the path marked by Ohio In this
matter. 1t Is a question of para
mount importance to every person
In the whole Ohio and Mississippi
district, and I feel convinced other
states will take similar action.
Il have rot yet made up my
mind about my candidacy for the
speakership of the West Virginia
legislature" continued Mr.. Greg
DRY, "al hough a number of repre-
sentatives have been urging 1t upon
me. But 1 have some legislation
which Is to me more important,apd
If the acceptance Of this Office will
appear In the least to jeopardize
these measures. particularly the
resolution for the Ohio improve
ment, 1 much prefer to remain on
the floor. At any rate am going
to Charleston a week In advance to
see that nothing is left In the way
of the passage of the resolution"

speaking for the State OF South Carolina he reiter-
ated -it is entitled TO vote The State Of

We ought not. in exercising our power to
