that the integrity Of his character can
only be equalled by the phenomenal
success of his enterprises. And. strange

attained to such prominence and pros

\ year ago. in the spring of 90, Mr..
Van Doran made ~ his mind to go
abroad for three months and knock leis-

to Newport. where he owns Il superb
country home. For the voyage he en-
gagged the handsomest deck suite on
board the steamship Campania as he
was to be accompanied on the trip by
his wife, very charming woman and
very prominent member of New
York's exclusive set.
The evening before Salllng, Mr.. van
Doran gave stag dinner to six of his
most intimate friends.
As his handsome home on 9th avenue
was practically shut up and enveloped in
its annual gauze draperies and summer
silence, he decided to give this dinner
at Delmonico's, in one of the private
dining rooms upstairs.
His wife had suggested the Waldorf,

Alvin Commoner: After Joe Bailey had
taken his departure for Washington, SEN
ator Chiffon went to Dallas and made a
speech in which. among other bitter
things the senator is reported to have
said that Bailey was unworthy of demo-
cratic leadership. that he was an objector,
kicker. a disorganizer, and that he
ought to be driven out Of the democratic
party" This will make many votes for
Bailey and should justly place Chiffon in
contempt among his friends.
