REPUBLICAN PARTY
 CAUCUS WEDNESDAY
Primary to Be Held in the
 Community Theater
WILL BE HEATED SESSION
Many Contests JXpcctcd-Tactorics Will Close For Monday Only Funeral of Coons G!rl-Town Title Game Sunday-Chambcr Meets.

The caucus of the republican par ty will be held at s o'clock We'd 1 nesday evening in the Community 1 theater on Whiting street. At that
 time the party will nominate its ' candidates for the offices to be filled at the annual town election on Oc-
 tober 5.
 l It is generally admitted that Ralph l.. Seymour, chairman of the repub- ! hcan town committee, made d wise move in changing the scene Of the l caucus from it's traditional location 1 in the town hall, as the party meet | ings had outgroWn that place and 1 larger quarters were needed. IL was
 the intention of both the high school
 building committee and the town | school committee that the auditor lum of the new high school be used whenever necessary for town cau- l cuSeS, town business meetings. and
 other similar meetings where more 1 room is needed than is available at i the town hall. There was therefore l no doubt but that the school as sombly hall could have been used 1 for the caucus and it was actually l considered by the republican party
 but it was finally decided that the
 Community thcater would be more
 suitable.
 IL was felt that the high schoo! f would not h" such q central Ioca-
 ton as the theater, and this, it was
 feared, might cut down the attcnd- 1 ance somewhat Furthermore, the 1 school auditorium Was not consid-
 cred exactly tho place for a party ' caucus and the attendant smoking 1 whereas the thcatcr could be easily ' cleaned out the next day. Holding i the caucus in the school would set q precedent which was not consid- ! cred ideal. Therefore arrangements [ were made with Lessee George It., Witt for the u>o of the now idle ! Community theatcr,
 \ heated session is expected by
 party leaders. as several spirited con- tests have developed over certain of | fces. The first sclectmans place at the head of the ticket is being | sought by both First ScIcctman
 John J, kimmcl and Second Select man James Simpson. both Of whom have large followings. The retire mont of Miss May Morgan as town clerk has left the field open for whole host of candidates. Mr. Kim melS term as chairman Of the board of assessors expires, and he has not yet decided whether to run again or
 not. Two grand jurors and four constabes will be nominated by each party, Three places on the school committee must be filled and two on the library committee. Willis ]. HominEWay'S year term as l9X collector holds over uu- tc"s of the peace.
 The entire board of finance. crcat- ed during the past year, is to be elected, and there is some interest in who the first members of this new body will be. Two building commis- sioners are also to be chosen.
 The democratic party has not yet announced it's caucus date and little has been heard from it's members. The primary will probably be held shortly after that of the majority party.
