The DELEGATES are keeniy interested
IN Ihe action and program Of the
La Toilette bloc. as it lays its cards
on the table and outlines its future
course. The La Toilette men are
getting cold deal from the conven-
tion. They were jeered on the floor
or the convention yesterday when
they refused to concur in Chairman
Burton's demand for a united Re-
publican party. Last night when
they presented the La Toilette de-
mands for Endorsement of the La
foiiette platform they were Kissed.
No Convention Bolt.
The feeling is very intense against
the La Toilette demands and is grow
ing in bitterness after the firm stand
taken by Keynoter Burton. The policy
OF the La Toilette faction is under
stood to be to avoid all appearance
OF boiling the convention, remaining
ing the sings and arrows of out
rSgeous political fortune peaceably.
Then they propose to call a conven-
Ilon In this city July 4, when Senator
la Foiiette will collect the radical
forces and probably be placed in
nomination for President
Inc policy of the Republicans is
IN ignore the La Toilette faction, re-
garding 1t as having no place in the
regular Republican party. This line
was initiated practically by Presi-
dent Coolidge himself several weeks
ago when he made 1t known there
vas to be no temporizing with in
surgency. The temper of the con-
ventlon Is the hearty Endorsement of
this position. The utmost enthusiasm
was shown yesterday when Chair
man Burton stressed upon that
chord. The convention may be said
to hold the Donny Brook fair theory,
