seem made to hold progressives in. line.
 L9dge Ignored
 Another reason is in the studied man. uer i'm which the Senate has been ex- e1Uded from the convention picture. Even the regulars have been denied any posts of honor. Lodge. the majority leader of the Senate, the chairman of the foreign relations committee, and a product of the Presidents own state, will have little more influence than the Dgwifest delegate.
 The result has not beep salutary at the capitol Privately, leading Repub- bran senators feel aggrieved. They are ssIllen- 1t is difficult for them to sub init to the dietation of a mah who was accidentally made head of his party, especially wren they had previously pI:Inned-before Harding died-to place CeoIidSe on the shelf and pick a new vIee presidential candidate.
 His Own Machine
 Then there Is one other important angle Coolidge is building up his own personal machine to conduct the cam pRign after the convention. He recently announced that his old Massachusetts friend. William NJ. Butler, would suc- eeed John T. Adams of Iowa, as chair mann of the Republican national com mTtfee.- Now it is announced that Fred w Upham- for years treasurer of the nHtiouaI committee. will retire after the convention HI health is given as the ground Coolidge also will put his own man Hm as secretary of the national committee.
 AlI of these changes increase Cool Mgg's personal grip on the party ma ehinery- but they do not aid in increas- ing the morale of the organization. The danger to the President is that his own parity lenders will soldier on him. That wHll be a serious danger if LaFollette gsts i'm with his independent movement and the Democrats conduct real off, feHsEve.

SHRINERS TO GO TO LOS ANGELES
 FOR NEXT MEET
Unrestrained Mirth Att tends Selection Of 1925
 Convention City
, By ARTHUR F. DEGREvE

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 4.--The twisting and trembling fingers of the jester cunningly directed the madcap hullabaloo of the Shriners here We'd nesday night, as more than 10000 grotesque figures, live elephants, monkeys and camels turned the city streets into the sawdust floors of a huge circus.
 Happy in the selection of Los An geles as the 1925 convention city, these pilgrims of the desert left nothing un- done to display their bag of tricks in the most gigantic stunt" parade ever staged in the country by one Organiza- tion.
 Promptly at D.. m., they swung into view, and for the next three hours and a half passed before thousands along the line of march, who had gath cred long before the sun had set.
 Shr:nedom had turned from it's sub- lime to its ridiculous.
 There was an automobile of popular make whose rear seat had been charged with electricity. Those who succumb- ed to the pleas of the driver to have a little ride" accepted the shock laughingly.
 Huge elephants numbered along the streets, the mascots of the Arabat Temple, Kansas City, while the sight of camels brought forth more or less tuneful strains of How Dry. 1 Am"
 Don Evening Wear
 Just to be different, so 1t was ex- nlained. a few of the delegations of the forty temples represented in the line of march, wore evening clothes and affected surprise that it should be re- garded as being a sober note in a parade conspicuous for its lack ot dignity.
 Downtown traffic was suspended again, just as it has been sence the Shriners arrived and as it will be un- til the last son has started the retreat across the hot sands.
 Street dances, parties and theaters occupied the interest of the hosts throughout the day. and followed their parade at night.
 While publication was at it's peak, the imperial council soberly elected James E. Chandler of Kansas City imperial potentate. Chandler will sue ceed Conrad V. Dykeman of Brooklyn, N. Y, member of Kismet Temple.
 The Imperial Divan elected Wednes- day was formed after a custom follow ed for years, all but two of the inn perial officers ascending to the next higher offices by right of succession. John x. Sebrell, Jr., of Khedive Tenn pie, Norfolk, Va., won the only cleo tive office, that of imperial outer guard. He will become imperial po- tentate in 1885. 1

They complained of vermin- infested food. filthy barracks, fraud in purchase of supplies by officials, care less medical attention, mingling of tubercular with healthy students.

WALSH IS SLATED
 10 BE CHAIRMAN OF CONVENTION
Selection Virtually Is Set. tied, Democratic Lead
 CTS Declare

WARRINGTON, June 4.-Strong in- dicatioAs were apparent in democratic circles Aere today that Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana probably would be selected as permanent chairman of the party's national convention in New York.
 Some democratic leaders in Congress said the question of Senator Walsh's selection had virtually been settled. The Montana senator, however, declined to comment on the report.
 Brennan Urges Selection
 Senator Walsh has been for several days in the forefront of those mentioned for the place. Democratic party chief tains met here yesterday to consider minor convention assignments and at that time it was said the question of the permanent chairmanship had not been brought up. Later, however, George Brennan, national committee man for Illinois, issued statement urging the selection of the Montana senator.
 . The selection of Senator Walsh, Brennan said, seemed inevitable, in view of "his distinguished record in the oil inquiry in disclosing to the country scandals without parallel in the history of the nation."
 Supporter Of McAdoo
 Senator Walsh has supported Will liam G. McAdoo in the preconvention campaign. Some weeks ago his own name was brought forward for the presidential nomination by some Mon- tana democrats, but he declined to give the movement his approval. Mir. Brennan, however, is leader of the ele- ment in Illinois which opposed suc- cessfully an instructed state delegation for McAdeo.
 Some of the McAdoo men have urged the selection of J. Bruce Kremer, also of Montana, and vice chairman of the national committee, to preside over the convention, but the suggestion has met with opposition. Another mem toned for the chairmanship is Senator Key Pittman of Nevada.
