The Federated Sportsmen of Illinois Sportsmen from all sections of the state are enthusiastic over the prospects for a successful year in game and fish conservation. Representative Robert Scholes of Peoria, who has been elected speaker of the house of representatives, is a genuine sportsman and for many years has been one of the leaders in the fight for constructive conservation. Mr. Scholes in an interview today stated that he hoped to see the fiftyfourth general assembly make a record in wise legislation and in furthering the establishment of game preserves, fish hatcheries and public shooting and fishing grounds. He also expressed his appreciation of the many congratulatory telegrams and communications which he has received from sportsmen in all parts of the state. Lieutenant Governor Fred E. Sterling, who presides over the deliberations of the senate, is also well known among sportsmen as a supporter of contractive game and fish legislation. Senator Richard J. Barr, newly elected president pro tem of the senate, has an enviable legislative record in constructive game and fish legislation. Senator Barr has also expressed his desire to do all in his power to further the interests of conservation and to serve the sportsmen in their effort to make Illinois the leading state in conservation of our outdoor resources. That these officers of the fifty-fourth general assembly will have the hearty support and co-operation of the members of both the senate and house is clearly indicated by the unusual interest in proposed game and fish legislation exhibited by almost all of them, as we renewed old acquaintances and make new ones in the opening days of the session last week. Expressions of a desire to carry 'on the program started two years ago came from republicans and democrats alike and many who were at least not active during tfie fifty-third general assembly are now intensely interested in conservation and assured the sportsmen of their intention to support legislation that will preserve our game and fish for "future generations fend still permit a reasonable enjoyment of these greatest of ourdoor sports-- hunting and fishing.
