10 be the principal topic OF discussion
in democratic circles here. II Is the
ooncensus Of opinion that when the time
comes for NV. Bryan to file as a candl-
date for delegate to the national con-
ventlon sufficient pressure will be grought
to induce the withdrawal of the presi-
dental filing to enable the name TO go
on the ballot for delegates.
Bryan's friends say that even II he
were candidate for the presidential
nomination there would he no necessity
of his going on the ballot, For every
one knows he could carry the state II
he wanted to, and what is the use Of
putting II to vote" There are some,
however, who refuse TO give a nod Of
approval 20 the latter statement and
quietly tip II off that possibly Mr.. Bryan
would not care to have the size of the
opposition to any such an ambition dis
closed to voters in other states.

Cured IL the federal government, when

ened TO sue for recelvership for the prin-

Robert NJ. La Toilette in the closing ad-
dress OF his speaking campaign in Illinois
today. Water should be squeezed out
of our capitalized corporations, he said
and the government should prevent their
combining with banks to exploit the pub
lie for profit.
A solution of the problem of conserva-
ton Of our national resources In Alaska
was suggested BY Senator La Foliette.
He said:
"The sensible and practica, thing to do
is to create & Board Of Public Works
for Alaska similar TO the 1sthmian Canal
commission This Board or Public Works
should undertake not merely to build a
railroad from Controller bay TO the coal
fields, but II should acquire all the rail-
roads in Alaska and settle at once the
policy OF government ownership. 1t
should similarly provide for the develop
ment of other public utilities, such as the
telegraph and telephone. 1t should
operate and develop the wharves and
docks and steamship lines, IL necessary,
to deliver the products Of Alaska to the
Pacific coast.
Government should Control.
with such law as this, t"e govern
ment owning the railroads, the direct
operation or leasing of the coal fields,
under proper regulation, insuring a
proper revenue to the government for the
benefit of the people, and proper regula-
tlons that will protect the consumer, all
under the management Of a board of eN-
perts, having in mind only the public in
terests, believe that the problem of con-
servation OF our natural resources In
Alaska will be solved and that its ad-
ministration will be of great value TO us
IN securing solution for some of the prob
lens which confront us in considering the
conservation of such natural resources as
are still part of the public domain in

TO CONSIDER
STOCK INCREASE
Wilmington Trust StOCkhOId-
erS Meet Tomorrow for
That Purpose

Stockholders Of the Wilmington
Trust Company will meet tomorrow
morning to consider the proposition 70
increase the capital stock Of the co.l-
pany to one million dollars, Il being
necessary because Of the merger of
the First National Bank and the Ma
tional Bank of Wilmington aud
Brandywine with the Trust Company.
There is no doubt OF the consent OF
the stockholders being given to the
increase in capital. The merger is
now practically in effect, the increase
in capital stock being the last action
required on the part of the Whining
ton Trust Company.
The next step with the National
Bank of Wilmington and Brandywins
and the First National Bank will bt
the liquidation of those institutions
in accord with the procedure laid
down in the National Banking Law
Thirty days notice is required 10 be
given to all stockholders of the two
banks of the proposal TO liquidate
and after the thirty days notice a
meeting of the stockholders of each
bank will be held. and committees to
work out the basis OF liquidation will
be appointed.
Sixty days' notice is required,
after the stockholders meeting TO be
given to the public and TO all per-
sons who may be creditors 10 the
banks or of the banks Of the inten-
tion TO liquidate. Following that the
affairs of the bank can be wound up
and the money in hand can be dis
tributed 10 the stockholders who did
not avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to sell their stock to the VIII
mington Trust Company OF to ex-
change it for stock and cash Of the
Trust Company. There are not many
stockholders of either bank who did
not accept the Trust Company's pro-
position. The Trust Company will
rec sise its pro rata share, according
20 its stock holdings, of proceeds OF
the liquidation of the two national
banks II is thought that the price
offered by the Wilmington Trust
Company for the stock Of the two ma
tional banks is higher by at least ter
to fifteen dollars than the amount
that will be distributed per share
under the liquidation plan
II will be seen that the liquidation
of the First National Bank and the
Bank of Wilmington and Brandywin'
cannot be brought about, az the ear.
