SHAW TO TALK SOUTH
WILL MAKE LONG TRIP PREACH.
ING REPUBLICAN DOCTRINES.

Secretary Shaw will leave Washington
seon on an extensive Campaign trim thronrb
southern states. He will begin work in
virginia and wind up In Missouri, With the
probability OF another tour later on.
Two years ago Secretary Shaw told the
republican national committee that the
south was promising field for political
work. He even predicted the result in
Missouri, and asked the national committee
70 assign MIN TO the southern states He
told Chairman Cortelyou at that time that
while there might not be satisfactory re-
suits in the south Immediately, save in Mis-
souri,, he was confident that If good seed
were properly sown an abundant harvest
would be probably reaped at the nroner
time. o ,p'opeA
Secretary Shaw still believes that the
south promises great field not only for
the republican party, but for the noiitical
future of the country He has recentiv
expressed the belief that it will be the con.
sefVatism OF the south that will save the
country from dangerous radicalism
His coming tour will not be made under +h.
auspices or campaign committee He ha =
received many invitations to make speeches
IN the south and has accepted OH his own
then 1ooK II from those states where he believes
cess at some future time. He has chosen
Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and
Missouri. and i'm these four states will make
Ut thirty SpeeCheS, preaching
republican doctrine and opposing RADICAL
ism, which he believes is getting to he a
menace to this country. In Virginia Secre-
tary Shaw has strong personal friend in
representative Slemp, the republican boss
OF the state. Some folks say that Col.
Slemp will hold the vote of the state in his
hand In the next republican convention. and
that when the vote is announced it win
sound like Shaw. .
A number of North Carolina republican
poIiticians likewise have a friendly feeling
for the Secretary of the Treasury, as dc
some in Tennessee and Missouri.
The Secretary's Virginia itinerary has not
been made out, but 1t is the intention of the
republican managers of the Old Dominion
to assign him to the district formerly rep
resented by Gov. Swanson. The republicans
have an idea that they may be able to cap
ture this district in November. The ninth
Virginia district is represented by a repub-
lfcan and is likely to stay in that column,
and the Virginia republicans now propose
district.
In North Carolina.
Secretary Shaw will go from Virginia into
North Carolina, and will spend three days
in that state. On September 10 he will
speak in the afternoon at Winston Salem
and the same night at Salisbury. On the
evening of the 11th he will talk at States
vile and on the evening of the 18th at
Asheville.
Secretary Shaw will continue on into Ten
nessee, speaking at Knoxville the evening
Of the 18th, Nashville the 14th and Memphis
the 10TH. He will then proceed to Missouri,
where he will begin his campaign Septem-
Der II, making twelve speeches and spend
Ing an entire week In that state. His
speeches will be delivered at Hannfbol Mo-
berly, Carrollton, Kansas City. Pleasant
Hill, Joplin, Dixon, Lebanon, Crystal City,
Pennington, Sikeston and Poplar Bluff
While the general opinion is that the DEM
ocrats will regain control of Missouri this
year, Secretary Shaw believes that the
republicans will retain number of con-
gressional districts they won two years ago,
but just how many he does not attempt to
say. --el---.-
