POLICYHOLDERS URGED
TO OUST OLD OFFICERS
Committee Issues Address Calling For Organi
zation to Defeat Present Management of
Mutual Life and New York Life.
Rj Prime LemeO Wire.
New York, July 10.—For the purpose
of ousting the present managements
of the Mutual Life and the New York
Life Insurance companies, the interna
tional policyholders’ committee met
here yesterday, elected officers and Is
sued an address to the 1,200,000 holders
of policies, outlining the Issues In the
fight.
The committee adjourned subject to
the call of the chairman, after ten
days' notice. In the meantime the ex
ecutive committee will take charge of
the details of the Immediate work and
will hold frequent meetings In New
York, Philadelphia and elsewhere.
Voting Begins October 18.
The committee has until September
18 to file Its nominations of directors,
who are to be voted for by the policy
holders.. According to law, the admin
istrations of the two companies are re
quired to file their nominations before
July 18. The voting Is to begin Octo
ber 18, and continue until December 18.
In part, the address to the policy
holders of the Mutual and New York
Life Is as follows:
"These two insurance companies are
mutual companies; that is to say, they
lire owned by their own policyholders.
The enormous accumulated assets of
over 8900,000,000 represent the premi
ums which you as policyholders have
paid.
"The law requires that the policy
holders of a mutual company'ahall elect
from among themselves directors who
shall be responsible to all policyholders
tor the Intelligent and faithful man
agement of the company's affairs. As
the law formerly stood. It was practi
cally impossible for the policyholders
scattered throughout the world to vote.
In 1905, even after the agitation be
gan, there were 2,628 votes cast,
mainly proxies, In the two companies
out of a total of over 1,200,000 policy
holders, or less than 1-5 of 1 per
cent.
Voting Power Transferred.
“It gradually became a recognized

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGOOOOa
custom among the officers to secure
through agents proxies made out to the
president or some o'ther officer of the
company upon the delivery of the poli
cy. In this wny tho voting power was
gradually transferred from the policy
holders to a fow of the executive of
ficers centered In New York.
"Thus It came about that the con
trol of these two companies was grad
ually taken out of the hands of the
policyholders, and came under the ab
solute domination*of a tow executive
officers. Out of this system have
grown the extravagances and other
abuses, some of the particulars of
which were brought out under legal
pressure by the Armstrong Investigat
ing committee. The self-appointed di
rectors are still In control, and will re
main In control, directly oy through
their own nominees, unless you, as pol
icyholders, decide otherwise by the ex
ercise of your right of simple ballot
voting, which has been restored by re
cently enacted laws.
"At the lost session of tbs legislature
of tbs state of New York, the state
which Issued the charter* of thess two
companies, there was enacted a law
which gives to policyholders their ac
tual voting rights. The law strikes at
the very root of the evil. It cancels
all previously Issued proxies, and pro
vides that any proxy given In advance
of October 12, 1905, shall he void. It
fixes the data for ths election of of
ficers. It gives to ths pollcyholdsrs ths
privilege of nominating their own can
didates, and ths right to vots by ballot
as In ordinary elections, an£ to record
that vots by malL We emphasize the
fact that now Is the only opportunity
for obtaining control of your properties
at an election as hereafter, under the
la#, only one-half the director* can be
chosen 1ft any one year.
How to Get Benefit
"To receive the benefit of such a law.
It Is necessary that the 1,200,000 or
more policyholders should organize
Into such working fores as to secure
harmony of action In the selection of
candidates for directors. Associations
of policyholders have been formed In
various parts of ths United States end
In foreign countries, each Independent
of the others. These associations have
united In an appeal to your committee
to act with the entire body of policy
holders In the selection of candidates
for directors, thirty-six of the Mutual
Life and twsnty-fonr of the New York
Life.
“Neither the committee nor Its gen
eral couneel will accept any compen
sation for their services. Our nominees
will be representative of every section
as far as possible, but under the law.
one-halt of each board must be resi
dents of ths etat* of New York.
"When from the names which we
now Invite you to submit to us for
consideration we have nominated
candidates for directors, tbs elec
tion of ■ these candidates will
bo entirely In your hands.
The directors now In power have nomi
nated or will nominate for each com
pany what Is to be known as ths ad
ministrative ticket, using machinery
which they now control through their
possession of your property to defeat
your candidates and elect themselves
or other nominee*.

palgn, wo advise you to disregard the
Influence which will be brought to bear
upon you by the local paid agents, and
to exercise In this, as In any other
election, your own Independent and in
dividual Judgment In the choice of the
men who shall from this time forward
act as the trustees.for your insurance
savings.
"If you as a policyholder will Intel
ligently exercise thle personal choice
and do what you can to so Instruct
your Immediate friends who nre poli
cyholders as that they shall not be
misled by the efforts of paid agents,
the object of this campaign In your
interest is assured.
"It is not the purpose of this move
ment to disturb the actual working
organisations of these two companies
except so far as It may be necessary to
correct the abuses which are the direct
result of mismanagement at the execu
tive centers.
Up to New Management.
"Certain 1 suits-have befen begun to
recover moneys claimed'to have been
misappropriated, wasted or lost, and It
Is charged that other suits should be
commenced. The further Investiga
tion, the prosecution of such suits as
have been begun and the commence
ment of further suits. If any, for res
titution, will devolve upon the new
management. Those matters will con
stitute no part of tho duty of this com
mittee. *
"The expense of thle campaign must
be borne by the policyholders. It costs
over $50,000 to place a circular In the
hands of all pollcyholdsrs.
"A committee of finance will have
charge of all receipts and expenditures,
and will see that all contributions re
ceived from policyholders are expended
In their Interest. At the completion of
the campaign a detailed expense report
will be rendered. *
Contributions Needed.
"Under these conditions and in the
full belief that this movement Is one
of the most important that has ever
been inetltuted In this country, your
committee feels free to urgo you ns a
policyholder to forward to tho secreta
ry such voluntary contribution (from
21 upward) as you may consider It your
privilege to make.
“Should the policyholders give ex
pression to such a desire, this commit
tee will endeavor to form a permanent
policyholders' organization. which
shall havo tho following among Its ob
jects:
"(a) To maintain a vigilant super
vision of the conduct of the business of
the companies and to make an Inde
pendent audit of their books through
Chartered accountants employed by the
association.
■To Prevent Temptation.
(b) To require the annual'distribu
tion among the pollcyholdsrs of ths
dividends to which they are entitled;
and to prevent as far as possible
the undue Increase of-the vast accumu
lations which are the prolific sources
of temptation to mismanagement and
waste.
"(c) To furnish ths beneficiaries of
the policies, which mature by death
or otherwise, a means of ascertaining
whether the sum that'Is being offered
by the company Is ths full amount to
"(d) To prevent the payment to the
officers of the companies of exorbitant
salaries, the use of ths companies'
funds for political purposes, and In ths
corruption of legislative bodies.
"(e) To see to It that the 222.000.-
... or thereabouts of stocks of banks
and trust companies, which the compa
nies are required ' to (fell within five
years, are disposed of to the best ad
vantage of policyholders.
To Restrict Operation.
"(f) To advise you from time to time
concerning the candidates for directors
that are presented for election by the
administration, and. If necessary, to

We show here a type of gas range which must appeal
to anyone as being practical, common sense and convenient.
Access is easily had to the broiler, bake oven and cooking
top without stooping or bending. Full view of the baking
and broiling is a great advantage to the cook. In no stove
yet constructed is this better obtained. This range differs
from others of its type now on the market, in that it is
largely made of cast iron and is as substantially built in
every respect as it is possible to make it.
All of the latest improvements and best constructions
have been therein embodied.
It Helps Make Life Enjoyable
With the finishing touches to the cooking, you are ready to devote the bal
ance of the day to tho beautifying pf your home. You can go at your fancy,
work, attend tho children and be on good terms with your husband. "But with a
coal stove it’s different. You are married to tho stove forever, and if you get to
look out of the window you are lucky. You neglect your home and family. With
it you never reach the finishing touches. And in the long run it will finish you.
Use an Estate Range and you will always finish your day’s work early and have
time for recreation and pleasure.
We are pleased at any time to demonstrate the many advantages of the Es
tate Stove oi Range.
