Captain Alpheus Garrison feels ag-
grieved over the publication in this
paper OF rumor circulated yesterday
that his candidacy for the State Sen
ate was the outcome of a movement
OF f. M. Grants friends to divide the
West Side vote. Such report was
circulated and gwen full credence in
some quarters, but the New DoMIN-
ION had no intention whatever Of
passing upon its truth or falsity.
Capt. Garrison Is known to be a man
OF the highest character and fas above
allowing himself to be used as the
tool OF any man or set of men. He
has the old time ideas of honor and
honesty, aud would not for minute
consent to be party to anything
shady in politics. His distinguished
services to the county in the past
warrant the highest confidence on the
part Of the public, and If there is any
crookedness in the campaign, it is not
with his knowledge or appreciation.

infer that IL was.

hot AT DAYTON.
Tax Reformers Get Ready to Go
After Him Hard.

Mass Meeting Held In His own County
To KIck-0tfer Counties are Roar
ing = Preston Especially Angry at
Betrayal vs Her Interests = Here
Too.
The revolt against Dayton and
Teter ID Barbour county is said to
have been larger than at first report
ed. Here 500 voters gathered in two
al The districts and insisted that
they lie represented in the state and
congressional conventions by men
iayoIing tax reform. They are very
sore on their old neighbors wto are
opposed to their best interests and
propose TO keep taxes on them which
are unjust The meeting is sign
OF troublesome times for both these
gentlemen but especially so for
DAYTON.
1t must be remembered that in
recent years Dayton has not Won
without a hard fight aud that the
normal majority in the district has
been about 1900. The farmers OF
this district are in favor OF tar re
form and not a farmers institute
has been held but has declared for
1T. The attitude Of the Congressman
has made them sore.
An instance Of the feeling against
Mr.. Dayton was exemplified in the
action taken by the Republican ex
ecutive committee OF jefferson coun-
Is. This committee at arecent
meeting adopted resolutions endors-
ing tax reform and denouncing Mr..
Dayton's attitude on the question.
IL also took steps to send solid
delegation to the congressional con-
vention instructed to bring it's pro-
test to the notice of the convention.
Previously Jefferson county had
always been friendly towards Mr..
Dayton, and it does rot object now
to his congressional record, but it
has been one oil the counties nest
oppressed by the present sys'em of
taxation, and objects to his fayoring
its continuance. There is little
doubt that Mr.. Dayton will! lose
heavily by this action.
Similar action is being considered
in Monongalia, one of the banner
Republican counties OF the district.
Here the leading Republicans are
for tax reform, and are vigorous in
their denunciation of Mr.. Dayton s
stand. If formal protest is entered
it will mean the loss of many Re.
publican votes to Mr.. Dayton.
In Preston county another formal
protest may be entered. Preston
county has special grievance In
that it's executive committee had set
April 30th as the date for electing
delegates to the congressional con
vention, and after this action had
been taken the congr essional com
at Mr.. Dayton's request, set
the date for the convention at April
18th, thus ignoring and multiplying
Pres ,on's proposed primary. Again
both the press and people of Preston
are solid for tax reform. Preston
county gives the heaviest Republican
in the district Without
it's support Mr.. Dayton could never
have been elected. The executive
committee of the cou nty is undecided
as to what action to take. / may go
ahead with the primaries or else make
formal protest at the nominating
These facts, togeth err with the de-
of Mr.. Dayton by 300 of

MRS. PAiNE'S BEA UTY LUNCHEON
Aroused Many Heartburnings-Six out
of Sixteen Invited Sent Their Re-
grets-FayOrs We're Candelebra on
Winch We're Engraved, "You Can't
Hold 4 Candle to Me"-All Types
We're REPRESENTED.


A special from Chicago tells OF Mrs.
John Barton Payne's widely-heralded,
much anticipated "beauty luncheon.
Ten of Chicago's lovliest society wo-
men were presented with favoIs the
most significant Of which was a
miniature candelebra, on which was
engraved, "You can't hold a candle
to me-"
Whether or not Mrs PAYNE could
not or feared to designate which guest
was deserving of a prize. the principal
award, golden apple signifying the
NEUROLOGICAL story Of the award OF
Paris to Venus On Mount Ida, was not
bestowed. Instead, each guest was
served with ices ingeniousiy shaped to
represent golden apple.
Sixteen of Chicago's fashiona bles
were hidden to the luncheon, but OF
this number six sent regrets. The
publicity attending the affair is said
to have set the smart set by the ears,
and TO have caused heartburnings
that can be quenched only by time.
Among the guests Mrs. James Ham,
ilton Lewis was typical Southern
beauty, as was also Mrs. Robert Gay
lord. Mrs. Allan McIlvaiue-tall,
slender, with gray eyes and brown
hair-might have been awarded the
golden apple. had the hostess dared to
discriminate. Mrs. Stewart Patter-
son was the tallest, and Mrs. William
Browne, Jr., was the merriest. Mrs.
Joseph Long was one OF the hand
soonest, as well as one of the most
handsomely gowned.
At each plate was a Gibson girl,
handpainted, representing the differ
EFT types of beauty-blonde, brunette
and Titianhaired. Each card had an
under leaf, on which was written some
poets idea Of beauty.
Mrs Payne was a Morgantown girl,
daughter of Judge Edgar G Bunker
an eminent citizen Of this place. When
quite young. she moved with her bus
band, q bright Young lawyer OF King-
wood, to Chicago where they have
prospered and became leading people.
