DEMOCRATS HAVE
TWO CONTESTS
For Delegates at Saturdays Pri-
maries; City Committee
Meets Tonight.

Members of the Democratic City Com
mittee will meet at headquarters tonight
for the purpose of arranging for the pri-
maries TO be held on Saturday 10 name
delegates to the State convention. Elec-
ton officers will be selected and polling
places definitely fixed.
As announced last week, there will be
but two contests. One IN the Filth ward
and the other in the Seventh. Whether
the contests are over national delegate or
committeeman, is a question at tins time
Friends of former Senator Salisbury
who Is seeking TO be renamed national
committeeman feel confident that he will
capture the fifteen delegates that will
be named in this city They also believe
he will win the fifty delegates in rural
New Castle county, which would give
him 65. But the friends of Senator
Josiah O. Wolcott who is also seeking TO he
national committeeman, say they will
get a delegate here and there IN the
county and that the present Senatorial
incumbent will win both Kent and Sussex
counties, which would give Mr.. Wocott
100 delegates from down State.
In the contests for delegates 10 the
State convention James II. Kane and
Wright Dizer are contestants N the
Fifth ward and Hugh Boettger and John
c. Wilson are candidates for alternates.
The other contest is in the eastern end Of
the Seventh ward, where there arc three
candidates for delegate 70 be cleo
ed. They are Peter J Ford, ] Rankin
Davis and John l., Malone. There Is
no contest for alternate there, Thomas
Mahoney being the only candidate. All
of the other delegates have been selected
at ward meetings.
The State convention on May 25. vii
name six delegates TO the San Francisco
convention. one from Wilmington, one
from rural New Castle county, two from
Kent and two from Sussex and will also
elect Delaware's member Of the Demo
cratic National Committee.

BIG CURRENCY DECLINE
GIVES CHEER TO FRANCE
Paris Financier Sees in Drop the
Beginning of Restoration to
Old Equilibrium.

Paris. Nav 19.-Another marked de-
cline in foreign currency occurred IN the
Paris market this morning. The pound
sterling opened at As francs and the
American dollar at u francs 80 centimes.
Yesterdays closing quotations were p
francs for the pound and Is francs "a
centimes for the dollar.
A high official of the bank Of France ex-
pressed the view today that the sharp de-
cline of the existing rates meant the be-
ginning Of return to the old equilibrium,
ruled by the law of supply and demand.
He considered that the French govern
ment decree prohibiting lI.tul ,atIons Of
Injuries from England and the nted
States was the starting point, and that
other reasons were the results OF the dlf-
ference where the settlement OF the Ger
man indemnity question began 70 take
definite shape.
In general the official gave il as his
view that the world was relatively IN
better position 10 reduce consumption
than ii had been since 1911, he noted that
there had been q general tendency toward
lower prices in cotton and WOOL and that
silk prices were declining, and he thought
that similar Improvement might he eX--
pected within year IN steel, iron ana
coal
The wholesale dealers generally are not
afectcd bv the decline in the pound stcrl-
ing and the dollar as most Of the stocks
on hand have been purchased At 3il 90
or 90 days credit. The cash buyers alone,
who arc in the minority arc the sufferers.
The exchange market opened today
with 2 rush. speculators who had been play
ing for the rise Of the dollar and the pound
unloading, while others were buslly en-
gagged in trying 10 stem the tide Of the dc
cline. The opening quotation IN sterling
was 5000 pounds at IS francs. Later
quotations average 50 francs American
dollars were not quite so active

with a snake dance on the university
campus. at the rear of the Arts and

tween goth and 21st streets. While
the young man students dance the CO.
eds will sing Patches" official song

ing recruits for only two days, al
ready $50 students and fifteen fac
ulty members have signed the
solemn pledge to wear 'em It'll they

come effective until Saturday. but
already many students have put into
practice the "buy-no- more-clothes"
policy.
Recruiting for members Of the

After that the membership will be
closed, and it is feared that some of
the girls might withhold their men,

eclipse those worn by girls already
in the club.
