WEST VIRGINIANS
WANT RIVER JOBS
Congressional Delegation Is
Causing Speaker Cannon
Untold Worry.

Uncle Joe Cannon is having his
troubles with the West Virginia Con-
gressionaI delegation.
There are but five members from the
state. all Republicans. but the Speaker
IS having less worry with delegations
four times as large. Three West Vir-
ginia members want 20 DO on the Rivers
and Harbors Committee. Dovener, OF
Wheeling, was on that committee dur
ing his service OF twelve years. He was
beaten for the nomination by William
p. Hubbard, a millionaire lawyer of
Wheeling.
Hubbard has been talked OF for the
Ways and Means and judiciary com
mittees, but he feels that he can do
more good for his district by taking the
Dovener. job on Rivers and Harbors.
Hughes, of Huntingdon, who is be-
ginning his fourth term, thinks his
length of service entities him 10 the
place, and he, like Hubbard. has many
miles Of river front in his district. II IS
the further claim Of Hughes that he has
already accomplished much for the
rivers OF his section and is entitled 70
reward.
Then the Speaker is asked to con-
slider the claims OF Harry woodward.
nov on his third term. woodward has
some TlNer couuucs' anu uSSiuSs' nc mas
what the others have not-a fight for
denomination. woodward explains TO
Uncle Joe that an appointment TO Rivers
and Harbors would make denomination
easy.
The Congressional committee can do
much toward aiding the denomination
and election Of a member, and Wood
yard might take the honor, letting Hub
bard and Hughes fight It out for Rivers
and HarbOrs-
Joe Gaines, from the Charleston dis
.trict. wants to be on Ways and Means.
He has a small Craftsmanship and is on

Virginia bunch Is George Sturgiss, OF
Aforganstown. He wants to be on Agri-
culture, Postoffices. and few others.
