John Van Znnle Is one of the well known attorneys and liemocratlc poli ticians of Portland and Multnomah rounty lie la a member of the law firm of Johnson & Van Zante having offices In the Commercial building and Is well known and well thought of by his associates of the Multnomah bar. Mr. Van Xante has forseveral years been prominent and actlre In the coun cils of the licmocratic party In Mult nomah county.

By B. II. Canfleld, Staff Correspondent or wie l nitoa ijress. Penver, Pol., July 4. The managers in behalf of Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota set their activity at con vention speed today. The biggest bac ner In town e, fur. prlnteJ in red and blue, was burnt In the lobby of the Al bany notel a-il set forth that his head quarters would be upon the parlor floor. These headquarters, elaborately dec orated, occupy about half of the Al- bnny s parlors. A large picture of the 20,000 VISIT OAKS PARK; NO ARRESTS, NONE HURT l ' Many years will pass before another , such peaceful Fourth of July will be recorded at the Oaks. More than 20,000 fun-loving Americans spent the after noon and evening In the Coney Island "" of the northwest yesterday, and In all . the big throng not a single arrest was . made by the score and more of special police who were assigned to patrol the grounds. . Never before In the history of Port - -land has such a remarkable fact been ' noted, Not even one case ef drunken ness reported In an army of a score of thousands of pleasure-seeking human ..; beings and on the Fourth of July, too.! Th only work the special officers Jiad to do yesterday was to find lost children. Ten little wanderers were re stored to anxious parents during the y. inree pocxeioooKs were reported lost and were returned to tbelr owners within 10 minutes after the complaint had been made In each instance. Uttle Tots Lost. An amusing Incident occurred when the two little McCroskey girls, whose parents live on Fargo street, became separated from their guardians in the crowd. The children are aged 6 and 8 years. They 'were brought to Manager Freeman's office crying and declaring that "Mamma and papa have given us ine sup." wnen tnev thought of this v outrage they ceased crying and became "real mad." A neighbor who knew : the MeCroskeys brought the tots home after they had been lost about three hours. "I'm a little weeny boy, and I'm lost and want a curly dooggy." This was -the wall of a little chap about 6 years old who lives over on the east side omewhere. He had seen the dog circus on the lawn and was more anxious to get one of the clever canines than to be sent home. A neighbor who knew the house where, the youngster lived volunteered to lane him to his parents. Family Separated. Most amusing of all was the semira tlon of the Zelms family, who live on Alberta street. First the ydung son of unaries zeim became separated rrom his young sister. The two began look ing for each other and the heart-broken mother and another little daughter started out tn search or the lost one. The. mother and the remaining child drifted apart- and soon all four wc-ft hastening about the grounds frightened Dy tne crowds ana arraid lest they would never meet again. The lost quar tette was reunited hours later by the special officers, who brought them one by one into Manager Freeman's office. The chutes broke down . about 2 o'clock In the afternoon, and with a rush the carriers slid backwards down the greaserfcjf alls, but luckily no one was on them5: A cog sltppei, that was all, but there wasn't any more shoot the chutes after that. This feature of The Oaks will be in operation again to morrow, however. Crowds Head for Cars. One of the Interesting things hut little observed by most of the visitors who were, absorbed In getting seats themselves, was the big rush for the! cars arter iu:su, wnen tne rireworks were over and the merry-makers had started for home. When soma 10,000 people all take a notion to board the same car it is a matter or no amall wonder if no one Is hurt Last night was an exception. The great mass of Jostling, pushing holiday makers good naturedlv milled about In the exits and by degrees per colated through the turnstiles and on to the cars and packed Into the aisles governor, (artistically encircled by a flag, was given the place of honor over the clerk's desk. Five hundred litho graphs were hung by a corps of aetlvo young men In prominent places through out the business deportment. Placards explaining the location of the pictures Bryan. were also piaoea in unerai numoers in the offtos and corridors and n the hotel Iobhy. Manager Claims Bryan Has. Charles B. Pay one of the managers of the Jonnnori cirnipflltrn, turned from a crowd of callers to say: "We have had many visitors today unu nave utrmi mucn Rrautiea Dy ex -pressions of good will for the governor. Among mem were a number or nien, wh have been Instructed for Bryan, who said they would be much pleased If the right went beyond the first ballot and an opportunity was presented wherebv tney mignt ran into line ior Johnson. Manager Lynch was busy answerine the report that Johnson's name would not be presented to the convention. H stated emphatically that Johnson would be nominated and the nomination sec onded and the vote of Minnesota cast for Johnson if not a single other dele gate voted ror him. He did not speak in bitterness, he said, but simply wished to set forth cieariy tne raot that there would be a roll call nnd that Johnson would go on record as a candidate for president at the convention. He cxnressed confi dence that Johnson would reoeivn n creditable vote. A telegram was received from a Dem ocrat leader at the Johnson headquar ters announcing that If Johnson wn nominated he would guarantee to raise a campaign fund of 1100 000 In Oiinoo-r. The name of this volunteer was held in confidence. O. O. Williams, a member of the Chi Commoner Brands Guffey as Bushwhacker Who Is Not People's Friend. United frM Leased Win.) Lincoln, Neb., July 4. There was plenty of Fourth of July racket In Lin coln today. Moat of it was made by the Bryan threshing machine. The grea Commoner's political contrivance, while seemingly fully as effective as Roose velt's, does not work with the majestic clloiice of the Chicago steam roller. It puffs and snorts. And ever and again a big torpedo goes off underneath it or insiae or it. ine noise was started today by Bry an s fiery denunciation of James M. Ouffey. the Pennsylvania national com mitteeman, rn a speech at l-"alrvlew be- rore low wuaKer u eeates. lin branded Guffey as a "bushwhacker," overriding liio expressed will of his people, in the jrganization under Bryan s violent pro test, and In the committee to betray cago Iroquois club, arrived toflny and suimusy in me interests or Johnson. So Johnson on Any Terms. T. D. O'Brien, who has been a Minne sota state officer and so close a friend of Johnson that he is a delegate-at-large, arrived today fresh from an in terview with. Bryan at Lincoln. Hrynn had invited him to call on his way to Denver The peerless leader expressed his dissatisfaction over the fact that Minnesota ha1 got into the presidential fight. He Indicated that even if John son was willing to take second plnce his nomination would not be satisfac tory to Bryan. The Johnson men how ever, did not tak this seriously, be cause, they said, under no circumstances would Johnson accept second place on the. ticket. A pleasing- bit of news that came to the Johnson headquarters was a tele gram savlner'that the Tenth fiAnria uiirici convention, neiu toaav. in structed its delegates to support John son for president and Brvan for irir. president Additional rorce. Coming so soon after Bryan's violent outburst in a speech last night at the j raveling Men s llryan club s banquet. in wnicn ne declared that unless a pub licity plana for eampalgu funds - was put into the platform he would not take the nomination, being his first pre-con- ventlon. flat-footed statement, the Guf fey attack carried additional force and strengthened the positive conviction here that Bryan will root out every ves tlpe of ancient or modern corruption the elements of his and barter from campaign. Quicklime for Sullivan. And- then came Judge W. G. Prentiss of Chicago, with the defiant statement to a few close friends that he Is after Roger Sullivan's scalD and will ret It. He was the first of the big Cook county ijfrnocracy to arrive. He drew his sword at once and bolted for Falrview On the way out he said that Sullivan and his cohorts are train rnhhpn. enr ruptionlsts and rotten politicians, who win eat tne neart of the Illinois .

IK Late tonight the positive statement was made by a big New England Dem ocrat, wno nas Deen closer than any body else to Bryan for the past 4S hours, that Mayor Brown of Lincoln would be the next chairman, campaign manaper and collector of funds. Bryan says he knows nothing about it. He nops to Bryan's riddling with alacrity, Humus inni t-nis is so in-every respect, and his close geographical relations with the leader, as well as his strength among Nebraska Democrats, makes his selection look altogether reasonable, say those who have been Interviewed. Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleveland de nies stoutly that he would acronl the chairmanship. He was at Bryan's home for over 24 hours, arguing initiative and referendum, and government own ership of all public service utilities. He got no encouragement from Bryan, His interview was short but cheerful. He said: Calls Bryan CTltraconserratlva. "Bryan Is an ultraconservrlv xnm. pared with a radical free trader like me who would cut out custom houses even. I don't want to mix up In na tional politics. My stUdy is municipal problems, enough la satisfy any man's ambitions. L bother with state politics only so far as they affect the self-government of cities." Swarms of Democrats. Swarms of Democrats descended upon Falrview today.
