PANIC MAKERS,
SAYS WILSON
PreSident-EIeCt Promises Ex-
COriatiOn for FinanCierS
Who Disturb Business
SAYS PROSPERITY
is NOT FOR THE FEW
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
NEW YORK. Dec. 1S- Probably no
public utterance since the administra-
tion OF President Abraham Lincoln
has stirred business and political cir
clcs as has the simple declaration Of
President-elect Woodrow Wilson TO
diners at the Southern Society din
ner late last night that he will pill
lory through public opinion creators
OF financial panics. It was accepted
everywhere as the last word OF the
soon-to-be head OF the nation to the
big fnanciers who have been manipu-
lating the securities and money mar
kets ever since election and who It is
alleged forced the price Of call money
up i'm an effort to force the secretary
of the treasury to deposit millions
with the banks for crop moving.
There is no doubt that Governor
Wilson meant what he said. He had
put public opinion as a weapon to
the test as Governor Of New Jersey
and in his opinion the results had
been beneficial in that it had enabled
him to elect a popular choice for
United States Senators and to put
through the Legislature such progress
sive legislation.
And he has told personal friends
that he intends to continue this
plan.
Following are some epigrams
from the speech.
The time has come when men
must stand up and be counted"
we must forget everything except
the work for the prosperity and in
tegrity of the nation
Some men have had the idea that
they had been appointed trustees 10
do the thinking OF mankind and the
building up Of wealth i'm conformity
with their own plans and pur.
God knows the poor suffer enough
now but their emancipation will
come"
Prosperity cannot be consumed

II was accepted that these state
ments outlined the new policy Of tine

opioions differed as to the measure OF
success that the Wilson administra-
ton will have it was considered GER

OBJECTS TO OLD
COURT HOUSE AS
NEW CITYLTBRARY

Directors of the Wilmington Insti-
tute Free Library transacted routine
business at their monthly meeting
last evening. This included the hear
ing of the report of Arthur L. Bailey.
Librarian. Mr. Bailey's report stated
that 433 volumes had been added to
the library during November. and
that the number of books issued dur
ing the month showed a decrease OF
1927 over the corresponding month OF
1911. This loss is attributed pri-
marily to the fact that the library no
longer counts the books that are re-
newed The total number of volumes
in the library at present is 15.116;
54S persons registered last month.
The gifts 10 the library during the
month included four volumes and FIVE
pamphlets from William p Bancroft,
and three volumes of the Senate Jour
nal, published sixty years ago from
Edward r. Belts.
Following the meeting the directors
informally discussed the adyisability
OF utilizing the court house as a H.

course would not be profitable. as they

berS Of Legislature
MAY BE CONTEST
OF STATE SENATE SEAT

One of the men in the Democratic
faction opposed to the election OF
Willard Salisbury for Senator today
claimed that even In caucus Mr..
Salisbury would not have control.
There are twenty-nine Democratic
members Of the Legislature and fifteen
would be necessary 10 control a eau
Gus. Here is the way the antl-Sauls-
bury man lined up the Democratic
Assemblymen: Salisbury, l3; l.. 1rv-
ing Handy, Z Richard r. Kenney, 4 L
David r. Marvel. 2; John Biggs, T.
Andrew G. Gray, 4; Reynolds
Clough, 1.
Il is altogether likely that this line
up, n correctly estimated could not
be held together very long, and that
enough men would go to Mr. Sauls-
bury's support to give him the eau
Gus nomination.
II Is said that tho Salisbury ennis
saries are resorting to the foxy
game of allowing an impression to
gain hold that the anti-Saulsbury
strength is greater than II actually
is, In order to encourage the anti
