By the time he returns to Washington the Shrine convention will be so far over that he will have to review only the last of three parades, "a spectacular pageant of floats with crews of dancing girls and actors." ¶ Next press conference after the one at which he delivered a message to the nation on the Constitution (TIME, June 10) President Roosevelt had a record attendance: 345 newshawks, crowding into his oval air-cooled office hoping for more...
