PROGRESSIVES WANT BEVERIDGE TO COME Ex-Senator Beverldge of Indiana may be the speaker of the occasion at a ban quet of Oregon Progressives to be held here dome time after the primary elec tion on May S. T. B. Neuhausen, state chairman of the Progressive party, will ask Colonel Rosevelt to send a promi nent Progressiva speaker for the ban quet, and Beverldge is the man most desired, However, the selection will be left entirely to Mr. Roosevelt. Oregon Progressives are much, elated over their prospects in the coming city election With the exception of city treasurer, councilman at large and coun cilman from the Third ward, they will nominate a complete city ticket at the primary,, and the plan now la to nomi nate progressives for these places by writing in their names on the ballot. It is the Intention to make the ban quet, which will cost only $1 a plate, one of the greatest occasions .of the kind ever lield'W the state. Several hundred Progressives from all parts of the ' state are expected to attend it Plans are not yet completed, but will be announced soon. . t It now appears that Monday night's meeting between the , Portland public i cliool principals and the East Side Busi ness Men's club was not as harmonious as was first supposed. . The meeting was called for the thorough disousston of the children's parade during Rose Festival week, but considerable dissension In re gard to the financial side of the situa tlon arose at the meeting, and It is now very doubttful whether or not the parade win be held this year. The East Side'elub has endeavored to finance the parade since its Inception three years ago, but last year many of tne scnoois were forced to stand the ex pense' themselves, 'and It-was this di- agreeable feature which caused the undercurrent of sentiment 1 among the principals against the holding of the-parade this year, lit is claimed by1 tha principals that where the school have had to stand their own expenses it has worked a great hardship among pupUs and teachers alike., v ;..; v. . Another feature of the case which' has caused the School principals, to balk at any proposal of the East Side club was the payment of $400 to a, physical di rector, Robert Krohn, by the East Sidl Business Men' club. This money was paid to Mr. -Krohn for his services in drilling the children for the parade, but the principals aver that the work of drilling the pupils was done wholly by the teachers of the respective schools. It Is the contention of the principals that this, money could have been put to bet ter use if it had been divided among the schools to help defray the expenses of the parade:'- : -.-; . ; .., The failure of the different schools to receive money for the expenses of the parade last year was not altogether the fault of the East Side club. It was caused mainly by & misunderstanding between the members of the club and the schools. L. M. Lepper, vice presi dent of the club, said that they had stood : ready at all times to pay any bills, contracted for the parade, when ever presented. He also stated that It was the business of the schools to pre sent the bills, and not the business of the club to look up the schools and col lect the bills. Although none of the principals stated positively at the meeting Monday night that their schools would not enter the parade, it was agreed that Borne definite agreement would have to be reached be iween the club and the schools. A ma jority of the principals thought that the club should apportion a certain amount of money to each school, according to the number Of pupils in the parade. Many of them thought that 60 cents per capita was about the right amount to be allotted to each school. The East Side club respond ed that it was impossible for them to promise any certain amount, but that they would endeavor to secure a subscription of $4000, and if they were successful in doing so, a definite allot ment could be made to each school. Another angle to the situation which was advanced by several of the subur ban schools was that the inside schools would have to promise to some Into the parade before they would do anything.
