LIKELY II WILL BE
Secretaries
Of the West Virginia Con
greSsmen Are Looking
for Other Jobs.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Dec. 13--
There are some other matters which
the secretaries to the congressman
are looking out for now, one being
their own duties after the fourth of
March. Few of them expect to re-
tain their positions. None of those
serving under the West Virginia
congressman expects to retain his
position, and already there is a
strong demand for their places.
Private information is to the eff
feet that there are at least four APP
plicants in MiddIebourne alone for
the position OF secretary to John NJ.
Hamilton. all of whom think they
can fill the position acceptably
Doubtless the other portions of his
district and OF the other districts
will be as prolific of asDirants for
this and similar positions.
Tyler county has about a dozen
candidates for the position occupied
by G. w. Smith, OF that county, who
is an elevator conductor in the
House end of the capitol building.
Members-elect of the next House
have been notified of the candidacy
of T. S. Scanlon, of Huntington, for
sergeant at arms of the House, and
inquiries are being made about him
by those who have no personal ac-
quafntance with him. So far as ap-
pears at the present time. Mr.. Scan
Ions chances are as good as those
of any one else.

Applicants Are Anxious for
Congress and Depart
ments to Act
b FoR q DEMOCRATS
Get Control of the House Of
Representatives Next
March.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Dec. 49,
Republican ngressmen-those from
West Virginia along with the others
ARE being besieged these days with re-
quests for pensions, postofices and
other favors which their constituents
hope to have attended to before the
Democratic House takes hold of aft
.fairs in congress. The rush is espee-
tally heavy as to postofices and pen
sions.
Postnaasters whose terms are about
to expire are especially anxious to have
their reappointments made before the
Democratic congressman take their
seats. While the Republican Presi-
dent and his postmaster general do
not go out of office. there seems to be
an impression that it would he well to
have. all postofIice appointments pos
stbIe settled before the change of adj
ministration takes effect in the House.
while in all probability there would
be as many pensions granted under a
Democrats House as under the RE-
.pubHcans, still there is a rush among
would-be pensioners to have their
cases considered before the control of
the House is surrendered by the Res
puIblicans.
The postmasters are anxious about
their Offices, the old soldiers are anx-
ious about their pensions and every
body who has a favor of any kind to
ask of the government is anxious to
have it attended to while the House
remains in the control of the Repwbli-
cans. The consequence is that the
Republican members OF the House are
very busy these days answering an I'M
usually heavy correspondence and
trying to get through many private
pension bills and other personal mat
tiers. The West Virginia congressman
are no exception to the rule and their
secretaries are especially busy trying
to get things shaped up so they can
attend to/all the requests of this ma
ture possible before turning over their
offices.

Ralph Dunbar's cello solos have

beautiful melody or prefer the

is a splendid artist with an Amer

selects the best of extant cello lit

that he was the star OF the even
