WABHINGTON. D C.—The rtrrt
move of the La i'Vlette con
vention. called for Cleveland July
4, promises to be h physical one
The demand for representation
M delegates front this, that and
the other organization qualified for
representation Is so heavy that the
present outlook la the B. of L." E.
auditorium, where the meetings
were first scheduled, would he
packed to the doors with the dele
gates alone. There would be no
room for “distinguished progres
sives," attending In a personal, not
a delegate, capacity. There would
be no room for merely ‘interested”
visitors, whom the conference
hopes to convert to active support
of Its candidate and platform.
Last but not least, there would
t>4 no room for the newspaper and
magazine representatives. And
without these last there would be
no adequate dissemination of the
news of the event, on which to a
great degree hangs the understand
ing ot and support for the confer
ence's coidusione.
Wherefore, 10 days before the
conference was du j to meet, a
hurry-up call was sent out by Ar
thur Holder, secretary of the Con
ference for Progressive Political
Action, under which the .meeting is
called, te fliiJ a larger hall. Thei j,
Grays’ armory, with double the
sealing capacity of the first audi
torium, seems now the likely
choice. If that proves too small,
there still remains thw great public
hall which even the Republican
convention failed to fill in its early
sessions. • ,
THE next complication endanger
ing the smooth progress of the
conference is—the Democratic con
vention.
It has been hoped that the Denv'
ocrats would write their platform
and name their candidates beforo
the progressives assembled. That

wouM simplify matter*, not merely
In respect to platform but also tt {
candidates.
Should the “Impossible” happen 1
and MrAdoo drag the Democratic
nomination out of tha New York
arena, a great block of the dele
gates attending the Cleveland con
ference would at once lose their
enthusiasm over an Independent or
third-party candidate.
This would be true especially ot
the delegates representing the
great railway brotherhoods and-af
filiated organizations, loyal thouga
they are to La Toilette.
McAdoo's nomination would put
before the Cleveland meeting a real
predicament and a puzzling prob
lem.
Should the Nfew York nomina
tion, as 1* unlikely, be delayed untt)
July 4 or later, excuse will be
found for marking time at Cleve
land until at least Monday. July 7,
before taking up the issue of p.,
candidate.
Delegates and visitors to tho!
Cleveland conference will bo
confronted at the convention hall
by the startling query, blazoned on
striking hand-bills: ■
“Are You ft Cotusa?"
This is to warn delegates hi ad
vance, so they may not fight first
and inquire the. tneaning of tho
word later. Being asked If you are
* a Catuea doesn’t, rpean that you are
suspected of being some new brand
of mental or moral renegade.
A Cotusa, instead, is a perfectly
. proper patriot.
Indeed, according to the “Ameri
can Business Men" financing the
publication of the handbills, one
cannot be a genuine. 100 per csnt,
24-carat patriot without belonging
to the Loyal Legion of Cotusa, the
motto of which is: “Nqver accuse
without proof."
Briefly, the organization, which
draws Its name from the initials of
"Citizens of the U. S. A.,” seeks to
stop the reign of rumor and gossip
about the honesty and Integrity of
nuhiic officials.

New York World.
Thousands of New Yorkers, unable,
because of their bouts of employment,
to go to the beaches, have to forego their
daily “dips" in the swimming pool in
Madison Square Garden, with a loss of
more than SI,OOO a day to “Tex”
Rickard, lessee of the building, because
of the prolonged session of the conven
tion.
Richard, who donated the garden and
spent *35,000 to purchase 350 seats for
the convention, said yesterday many
persons have telephoned him asking hid
opinion as to when the convention will
end and the pool reopen.
Although he told inquires he was
making no complaint. Richard Said yes
terday's loss would exceed *3,000 in
gross profits. He explained that besides
the loss of the revenue of the thousands
who would use the pool, the locker men
and other employees hired to report for
summer work July 1 are being paid
their wages, although unable to work.
More than 800 gwrsons arrived at
the Garden Sunday with bathing suits,'
prepared for a swim.
