BOSSERT TO DIRECT RACE FROM HEADQUARTERS HERE
. The Richmond campaign In the Sixth district this fall will be directed from Richmond. Walter Bossert of Liberty, Sixth district chairman, announces that on October 1, he will open district headquarters in this city and will remain In Richmond until the election. Already confident of a Republican victory in Wayne county next November the G. O. P. leaders are going to put forth every effort to pile up an old fashioned Republican majority in Wayne. This will be the battle ground of the district and Chairman Bossert wants to be on hand personally to direct the fighting. ; Places Faith In Wayne. I'.; 'if Wayne returns one of its former Republican majorities the 0. O. P. will win in this district in a walk," Borsert remarked, and. he added, ho it supremely confident of a decisive Republican victory In Wayne.
"I think every Republican candidate in Wayne will be elected and that
Judge Comstock, candidate for repre
tentative in congress, will receive
kuch an overwhelming vote in his home county that the result in the district will be a Waterloo for Rep
resentative Finly Gray, the Demo
cratic candidate," was a prediction jnade by the Republican district chairjnan. I Organize Committeemen. ; Members of the Wayne county Republican Central committee will be organized for the campaign on Wednesday, Etptember 13, at a nisht meeting when Harry S. New, Republican candidate for United States senator, wili give organization instructions to these party workers. In the afternoon of the same day New will speak to the Union county committeemen at Liberty. New is to visit every county In the district, devoting four days to this work. The opening guns of the Republican campaign in the Sixth district will be fired '"Republican Day" at the Rich
mond Chautauqua, August 30. Chairman Bossert hopes that he will be able to secure James E. Watson and Albert J. Beveridge as the speakers for this event. Both are arranging to campaign in Maine in September and there is some doubt as to whether they can be secured to speak here.
SHAW OFFERS HIS SERVICES TO ASSEMBLY
Hans by which talent could be secured for next year's Chautauqua at cheaper rates that it was secured for this year were outlined before the executive committee last night by James H. Shaw, who for six years managed the Richmond Chautauqua. Mr. Shaw gave up the management of the local Chautauqua about six years ago, but now conducts a series of Chautauquas for various towns in the state each year. His proposition Is this.' It is much chraner to nurchase an artist's time
for two weeks than it is for one j night. Since Mr. Shaw has under his
charge a number of Chautauquas which would require the use of an entertainer's time for about a week and a half, he pointed out that by joining with him and two or three other towns in contracting for next year's amusements, money would be saved by all parties concerned. Mr. Shaw devotes his entire time to Chautauqua work and is constantly In touch with entertainers.
