PLAN EAST SIDE PAGEANT
I'EAST OF LATTER X S TO
FESTIVALi FEATURE.
BE
Five Thousand- Children Expected to
Participate in Illuminated
Street Procession.
Following' an extended conference
between President C. A. Bigelow, of the
East Side Business Men's Club, and
President Ralph TV. Hoyt, of the Rosa
Festival Association, yesterday, ar
rangements were made for holding a
"Keast of Lanterns" procession, with
masqueraders, with Illuminations and
with a children s parade, as part of the
June Festival programme allotted to
the East Side.
The East Side organization will have
about 13000 to spend for its part in the
Festival programme, and has ordered
through the Festival the greatest array
of Japanese daylight fireworks ever
sent to this country, for display during
the celebration. Both the club and the
Festival people will contribute toward
defraying the cost of this novel, pyro
technical display which has been rec
ommended by Imperial Japanese Consul
Y. Numano.
Order has been sent to Toklo for a
complete set of this type of pyrotech
nics, and the entire Oregon Congres
- slonal delegation at Washington has
been asked to use their influence with
the proper Federal officials to secure
the admission of this consignment of
fireworks into Portland free of duty.
The set pieces which have been or
dered are Identical with the symbolical
displays which were fired when the
American fleet visited Japan on its
world-girdling tour.
President Bigelow, of the East Side
Business Men's Club, said that he felt
sure that a parade of the children of
the entire East Side could be arranged
for. and informed the Festival officials
that the matter would be taken up by
the club immediately. Last June the
most important feature of the exercises
was the children's parade, and It was
such a success that it Is certain that It
can be repeated on a much more ex
tensive scale this year because of the
greater scope of the celebration.
With practically two-thirds of the
school population on the East Side,
President Bigelow said he thought it
would not be difficult to secure a "Feast
of Lanterns" procession containing at
least 5000 school children.
Efforts will be made to close Grand
avenue for several blocks to all traffic
during this portion of the celebration,
and to give the thoroughfare over en
tirely to the youngsters and the direc
tors in charge of this picturesque
feature of the event.

was alleged wrongfully to be here as
a laborer without the required certifi
cate of citizenship.
FIRST GUN OF CAMPAIGN
REPCliL-ICAXS TO HOLD PARTY
RALLY TONIGHT.
Convention May Be Called In Hope
of Putting fp strong Candidates
In City Primaries.
Considerable interest is being mani
fested by Republicans In the mass
meeting that has been called by the
Union - Republican Club and the city
and county Republican organizations
at the Selling-Hlrsch building tonight.
The purposes of the conference are
two-fold. Besides revivifying the par
ty organization in Portland and Mult
nomah County. It la proposed to devise
ways and means by which Republican
success In the approaching municipal
election may be assured.
One of the products of the meeting
probably will be a decision to hold a
city convention In about two weeks,
when the best available mon for publla
office within the party will be consid
ered and proposed to the electors.
It is denied by leading members of
the Union" Republican Club that to
night's conference is In any sense a
cut and dried affair or that any "pro
gramme" has been agreed upon. In
stead. S. C. Pier and Max G. Cohen,
president and secretary, respectively,
of this organization, which took th
initiative in arousing sentiment favor
able i.o the meeting, aver that It will
be a free-for-all mass meeting to
which all Republican voters are invit
ed. As Mr. Cohen tersely put It last
night. "The gathering Is proposed for
the participation therein of all Repub
licans who are interested In party or
ganization and the public good."
The floodgates of oratory are to be
released and several extemporaneous
addresses, charged with party inspira
tion, are expected. Mr. Pier probably
will lead off, and If Rev. J. Whltcomb
Brougher Is not detained too long by
a previous engagement, he will be re
quested to give his Ideas of what
must be done If the administration of
city affairs is to be restored to the
dominant party. The gathering will
take on the form of a talkfest in which
all Republicans who have anything to
say will have the privilege of partici
pating. Members of the city and county
central committee and representatives
from the Sunnyslde. Scllwood. Forty-fifth
Precinct and South Portland Republican
clubs have been Invited to attend the
meeting and will take part In the speech
making. '
But the night will not be given up en
tirely to oratory. There will also be ac
tion. The probability Is that several com
mittee wlU be appointed to work out
the details incident to a convention, rep
resentative of the party workers from all
sections of the city, which will bo held
In about ten days. If deemed advisable,
some plan will be hatched whereby each
precinct will be allotted delegates in
proportion to its voting strength. Wheth
er the convention that is to be held shall
nominate outright a complete ticket for
the municipal election or whether it
shall merely suggest two or three strong
candidates for each of the offices to be
nominated in the primary nominating
election May 8. is another problem that
will be determined at tonight's meeting.
