w washington, In less imam q
week all of West Virginia's rep.
resentatives in Congress includ-
ing the Senators will have re-
turned to Washington and re-
sumed the public business where
it was left off at the time of the
adjournment last August. The
session which will begin next
Monday will for the present at
least mark the final appearance
IN public life of three of West
Virginia's valuable representa-
tives Senator Watson and Con-
gressmen Littlepage and Ham
llton. 1t is a matter of regret
among their colleagues that
these able representatives of
West Virginia will be superseded
In the next Congress by others.
But, in spite of the fact that
they have been defeated it need
not be expected that they will be
idle during the coming session
of Congress. 1t is promised by
those who know Senator Watson
and Messrs. Littlepage and Ham
llton well that they will be as
vigorous in the performance of
their Official duties during the
next thrcr months as though
thcy h d | cen reelected by their
consii u'n 5. Sentaor Chiffon
and Congressman Davis and
Brown will be members of the
next Congress and will continue
to represent their constituents in
the same manner which has
characterized their sevices dur
ing the last two years. Senator
Watson will continue the same
painstaking efforts which he has
eXerted since his entrance into
the Senate to accomplish the
greatest good for the people of
his state which it is possible for
a Senator to do, and the people
of West Virginia may call upon
him for any service which a Sen
ator can render with the same
as surance they have had in the
past that the most careful atten-
ton may be given to their inter-
ests. Congressman Littlepage
who is one Of the most inveter-
ate workers in Congress will
continue to the end of his term
the same policy of looking after
every detail of the wants
of his constituents. He
will continue his efforts to pre-
serve the market for West Vir-
ginia coal which the Government
has afforded in spite of efforts to
prevent the sale of coal for that
State to the federal government.
He will continue his efforts to
prevent the pollution Of the Ka-
nawha RIVER, and will continue
to care for every want of the
people of his district. Congress
man Hamilton will renew his eff
forts to pass his resolution favor
ing the payment by the federal
government of West Virginia's
part Of the Virginia debt, believ-
ing that unless this resolution is
passed before his term expires
his successor, a new member of
the minority, will have little
chance to get the measure
through. Even better work than
ever before in behalf of their
constituents may be expected of
Senator Chiffon and Congress-
men Davis and Brown, who will
remain in their present positions.
The control Of the Senate by the
Democrats will probably give
Senator Chiffon some important
Craftsmanship while changes in
the members of the House will
considerably advance Congress-
man Davis and Brown on their
respective committees.
