BEAUTIFUL CORONATION BALL AT KEYSER AUDITORIUM

nation robes made a fitting frame
for her youthful beauty, the sweeping
mantle seeming to add height to the
graceful young figure.
Going back to medieval history, the
designers had developed the artistic
robe in soft white chiffon satin, which
was almost covered with gold mesh.
The wide skirt, straight in its lines
was heavily encrusted with the deep
silver lace, which was repeated in the
wide, low collar, in the bands on the
graceful white chiffon sleeves, and in
the wide, graceful girdle brought from
the back and falling almost to the
hem of the skirt in front. From the
shoulders swept the wide tailored
train, severe in its lines, but most
graceful in its arrangement, the wide
mantle havin been caught in folds
under the broad silver collar, from
which it swept, exquisite in its soft
coloring of orchid pink, silver where
it caught the light, exquisite mauve
in the shadow.
With the jeweled crown resting
upon her soft golden hair, she
made a picture of youthful love

remembrance.

Socialist Runs on Anti-War
Issue in Schenectady

SCHENECTADY, n. Y, Oct. 31.-Her-
bert n. Merrill, Socialist candidate for
Mayor of Schenectady, has introduced
the anti-war issue in the campaign, but,
although Schenectady two years ago
elected the present Democratic Con-
gresham, George p. Lunn, Mayor on the
Socialist ticket, predictions are that the
Socialist vote will not be large this fall.
The General Electric works, heretofore
classed as a Socialist stronghold, last
week bought, through its employees.

22.750 employees, 20,500 subscribed for
bonds. Democrats and Republicans take
this to indicate that the anti-war prop
uganda has not been popular.
SYRACUSE, Oct. 31.--A large in
crease in the Socialist vote in the
German section Of Syracuse is ex-
pected as result of the injection Of
the war into the local Mayoralty night.
Fred. Sanders, Socialist candidate, has
announced himself against the war,
has criticised the government for en-
terng the conflict, says it is capital
istic war and refuses TO buy Liberty
bonds.
W. Paige Hitchcock, Democratic can
didate, and Mayor Walter R. Stone, Re.
publican, have practically ignored
Sanders and the war issue, connnins
themselves strictly to local issues, such
as the liquor question and city I'M
provements. In some quarters predic-
tons are made that Sanders will run
second.

DAYTON, Ohio, Oct. 31.-Dayton's
city manager form of government, the
model Of its type in the country, stands
on the brink of a precipice, and its fall
would mean the victory of the most
radical branch of the Socialist party
in the country, who have acknowledged
themselves, through the statement of
their leader, as against the war, the
draft and the national government.
The crucial moment will come next
Tuesday, when either three Socialist
or three non-partisan candidates will
be elected to the city commission. The
candidates are: Socialists, Willard
Barringer. Daniel Farrell and Charles
