President-elect Wilson has pointed
warning finger to any man who might
deliberately start a panic in the United
States in order to show that intended
legislative policies were wrong.
In a speech at the banquet Of the
Southern Society of New York, he de-
clared he had heard sinister predic-
tions of what would follow If the Demo-
cratic party put into effect changes in
economic policy.
The president-elect first distinguish
ed in his speech between natural and
unnatural" panics. He said that in
many cases panics had come naturally,
because of mental disturbance Of peo-
pie with reference " ioa.- anu money
generally.
But the machinery is in existence"
he said, "by which the thing can be
deliberately done. Frankly, don't
think there is any man living who
dares use the machinery for that pur-
pose. II he does. promise him not
for myself, but for my fellow country
men-a gibbet as high as Haman's."
The governor added that he meant NO
literal gibbet, for that is not painful.~
but he said it would be gibbet Of pub
lie disgrace which will live a. long -
the members Of that mans family sur.
vive."

ernor continued. "But speak q II I
expected, as II i feared it. do not. l
am afraid of nothing"
i The president-elect's speech covered
q variety Of subjects. He treated nrst
of sectionalism. declaring It ought not
to exist.
There is vast deal to do." he said
land it can best be done BY forgetting
that we are partisans of anything ex-
cept the honor and prosperity Of the
nation itself.
II am happy to feel that there no
longer Is serious consciousness Of sec
tional differences in the United States.
There can be no sectionalism about the
thinking Of America from this time on.
because no hard-headed man can prove
that there are such things as sectional
interests" he said.
| The governor told his hearers Of his
strenuous day In New Jersey.
1--WE thought we Strengthened things
out in New Jersey" he said, but they
won't stay straight. There are some
people in New Jersey who are happy
that they can count the days when they
can get rid of me. But they are not
going to get rid OF me. A man can live
in Washington and know what goes on
in New Jersey and man can say from
Washington what he thinks about New
Jersey. and he can say it In the only
most effectual way-by mentioning
names.
II say this not as threat, but to
convey this intimation that men have
got to stand up and be counted and put
their names down. think as soon a.
men see this is business and not amuse-
ment, an enthusiasm will arise by
which 1t will be revealed that honor
and integrity of purpose breed more
prosperity than any other things in the
world. God knows the poor suffer
enough. A man would hesitate to take
single step that would involve any
! further suffering. We must move to
the emancipation of the poor.
1.-The task ahead of me, so far as 1t
involves making appointments to office.
is wholly hateful, but the task, so far
as it is leadership of the United States,
is full of everything that is bright and
touched with confidence. because

peal to the people of the United States
on the right ground and put those who
are wrong out of business. am not
