ALL MESSAGES TAKEN BY THIS COMPANY ARE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS:,

To guard against mistakes or delays, the sender of a message should order it REPEATED; that is,
telegraphed back to the originating office for comparison. For this, one-fourth the regular rate is charged
in addition. It is agreed between the sender of the following message and this Company, that said
Company shall not be liable for mistakes or delays in the transmission or delivery, or for non-delivery of
any UNREPEATED message, beyond the amount received for sending the same; nor for mistakes or delays-
in the transmission or delivery, or for non-delivery of any REPEATED message, beyond fifty times tle sum
received for sending the same, unless specially insured, nor in any case for delays arising from unavoidable
interruption in the working of its lines, or for errors in cipher of obscure messages. And this Company is
hereby made the agent of the sender, without liability, to forward any message over the lines of any other
Company when necessary to reach its destination.
Correctness in the transmission of a message to any point on the lines of this Company can be INSURED
by contract in writing, stating agreed amount of risk, and payment of premium thereon, at the following
rates, in addition to the usual charge for repeated messages, viz., one per cent. for any distance not exceed-
ing 1,000 miles, and two per cent. for any greater distance. No employee of the Company is authorized to
vary the foregoing.
No responsibility regarding messages attaches to this Company until the same are presented and
accepted at one of its transmitting offices; and if a message is sent to such office by one of the Company's
messengers, he acts for that purpose as the agent of the sender.
The Company will not be liable for damages or statutory penalties in any case where the claim is
not presented in writing within sixty days after the message is filed with the Company for transmission.

June 4, 1906.
Hon. W. S. Jennings,
Jacksonville, Florida.
Dear Governor:
Your letter informing me of the conference had. with Gov-
ernor Broward regarding Judge Martin caine to hand this mroning. I

am certainly glad you did this as the Tartains think a great deal
of you.
Well, Governor, I know you think I am a nice fellow for not
replying to your telegram relative to the Mote grove. I did not see
where I could invest any money in it as I now fully expect to carry
out my plans for next year as I mentioned to yonu in person while in
Tallahassee. If I do this I shall want all of my money on the first
of January and to buy the interest mentioned would' simply tie it up.
If nothing happens, we -Mamie, Fpank and myself, will go
to Virginia in August and, of course, we anticipate a good time.
Remember us all to your good people, with the same for yourself, I as,

Sincerely yours,

A llI

F.M SIMONTON.
ATTORNEY AND COUNSELOR AT LAW,O
TAM PA, FLORIDA.


June 20, 1906.



Hon. W. S. Jennings,

Jacksonville, Fla.


My Dear Governor:

I am in receipt of your favor of the 15th instant, and

willsay in reply that I am sure as soon as you show to Sen-

at? Mann my letter, and you see the letter which I dictated to

him in my office at the time he was here, everything will b .

satisfactory to you and him. According to my recollection,

you did not believe there was a chance to make a deal on

any basis except the sale, and I have no recollection of our

having arranged for a commission on any other basis. T. thinR

that the amount we have provided as commin-ion, is a very

Handsome compensation, nt.i Senator Mann s.id it would be en-

tirely satisfactory to hm, and his associates.

Yours very truly, -

The forming of such a committee is in the highest sense a patriotic, a conservative, and most of all, a democratic
step."-New York Mail, June 25, 1906.






POLICYHOLDERS


Commigl[ee
The entire committee is notably good. The members are men of character and ability. They are known to the
public and have the confidence of the people."-The Philadelphia Record, July 13, 1906.

We cannot remember when a more representative, reputable and influential company of gentlemen was ever
associated together in this country for any specific purpose than the group which has elected Hon. Richard Olney as its
head and which has named others of its powerful membership to rout the insurance grafters out of office."-The New
York Prtss, June 11, 1906.


THE ADDRESS
(NOT'.-The lqterational Policyholders Committee held its initial meeting at
2 o'clock, MonJ .fay9th, at the Waldorf-Astoria. New York, and after elect-
ing officers and *ub-committees, issued to the policyholders the address, a com-
plete copy of which is given below.)
To the POLICYHOLDERS of the
New York Life Insurance Company
Mutual Life Insurance Company
At the request of policyholders and com-
mittees .representing policyholders in your
Companies, in the United States and foreign
countries, the undersigned have consented to
act as a committee to represent your interests
under the name of the "International Policy-
hoti-deTs-Conm it te L ,, "an u it r i ewirh- rtimt-tor
your consideration the following statement of
facts :
1. These two Insurance Companies are mutual Com-
panies; that is to say, they are owned by their policyhold-
ers. Their enormous accumulated assets of over $900,-
000,000 represent the premiums which you as policyholders
have paid.
2. The law requires that the policyholders of a mutual
Company shall elect from among themselves Direct-
ors who shall be responsible to all the policyholders for the
intelligent and faithful management of the Company's
affairs. In the actual voting, as the law formerly stood, it
was practically impossible for the policyholders scattered
throughout the world to vote for Directors. For instance,
in 1905 there were only 2,527 votes cast (mainly proxy votes)
in these two Companies, out of a total of over 1,200,000
policyholders, or a vote of less than one-fifth of one per
cent.
3. It gradually became a recognized custom among the
officers of the Insurance Companies to secure through
agents proxies made out to the President or some other
officer of the Company, upon the delivery of the insurance
policies. In this way the voting power was transferred from
the policyholders to a few of the Executive Officers centred
in New York.
4. Thus it came about that the control of these two
Companies was taken out of the hands of the policyholders
and came under the absolute domination of a few 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 Inves-
tigating Committee. These self-appointed Directors are
still in control and will remain in control directly or through
their own nominees, unless you as policyholders
decide otherwise at the forthcoming election, by the
exercise of your right of simple ballot voting which has been
restored by recently enacted law.


5. At the last session of the Legislature of the State of
New York, the State which issued the charters of these
two Companies, there was enacted a law which returns to
policyholders their voting rights. This law strikes at the
very root of the evil. It cancels all previously issued
proxies and provides that any proxy given in advance of
October 18, 1906, shall be void. It fixes the date for the
election of new Directors. It gives to the policyholders
the privilege of nominating their own candidates
and the right to vote by ballot as in ordinary elections and
to record that vote by mail. 'In succeeding elections only
one-half the Directors can be chosen in any one year;
but at the election to be held this year complete Boards of
Directors are to be voted for, making it very important that
policyholders elect their own candidates, and once and for
all secure complete possession of their properties.
6. To secure the benefit of this new insurance law, it
,i nececav' that the 1.200.000 or more Dolicvholaders


organize into such working force as will enable them to
secure harmony of action in the selection of candidates.
Associations of policyholders have been formed in various
parts of the United States and 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 policyholders in the selection of candidates
for Directors-thirty-six for the Mutual Life and twenty-
four for the New York Life.
The grave abuses of trust which gave rise
to this new insurance legislation made the
organization of such a Committee as yours
absolutely necessary. Our nominees for
Directors will be representative, as far as possi-
ble, of every section of the country. (Under
the law one-half of each Board must be resi-
dents of the State of New York.) When from
the names which we now invite you to submit
to us for consideration, we have nominated
candidates for Directors, we shall have dis-
charged the responsibility resting upon us.
The election of these candidates will be
entirely in your hands.
The Directors now in power have nomi-
nated or will nominate for each Company
what is to be known as the "administration
ticket," and in their effort to elect their
"ticket" it is safe to say that they will turn
every wheel of insurance machinery of which
they now have control through their posses-
sion of your property, to,.defeat your candi-
dates and to elect their own. .
As your representatives in this campaign
we advise you to disregard the influences which


I


-, A --









will be brought to bear upon you by local
agents of the Companies, and to exercise in
this, as in any other election, your own inde-
pendent and individual judgment in the
choice of the men who shall from this time
forward act as the trustees of your insurance
savings.
If you as a policyholder will intelligently
exercise this personal choice, and do what you
can to so instruct your immediate friends who
are policyholders that they too shall not be
misled, the success of this campaign in your
interest is assured.
It is not the purpose of this movement towards reform
to disturb the actual working organization 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 executive centres.
It will be no part of the duty of this Committee
further to investigate the wrongs and abuses, some of which
have been exposed by the recent legislative investigation
and by the inquisition of the Grand Jury. Within the brief
time which the Armstrong Committee was able to devote
to that phase of their investigations it was impossible for
them to touch upon the administration of the subsidiary
Banks and Trust Companies, or to go beyond the surface
of the abuses which were uncovered. Certain suits have
been begun to recover moneys claimed to have been misap-
propriated, wasted or lost, and it is charged that other suits
should be commenced. The further investigation, the
prosecution of such suits as have been begun, and the
commencement of further suits, if any, for restitution,
will devolve upon the new management. These matters
will constitute no part of the duty of this Committee. It
will rest with you to determine whether such investigations
and efforts to secure restitution can be prosecuted with
greater freedom and -just-ie- -_ by_ .eI
under whose administration the acts were perpetrated and
suffered, or by a new management which has had no con-
nection with and is under no obligations to the old officers.
The expense of this campaign must be
borne by the policyholders. Neither this
Committee nor its General Counsel will accept
any compensation for their services. But the
mere item of sending you the necessary litera-
ture, to say nothing of the expense of organi-
zation of over a million voters, will necessarily
cost a great deal of money. A Committee on
Finance will have charge of all receipts and
expenditures and will see that all contributions
received from policyholders are expended in
their interest. At the completion of the cam-
paign a detailed expense report will be ren-
dered.
Under these.conditions and in the full belief
that this movement is one of the most im-
portant which has ever been instituted in
this country, your Committee feels free to
urge you as a policyholder to forward to the
Secretary such voluntary contribution as
you may consider it your privilege to make.
Should the policyholders give expression to
such a desire, this Committee will endeavor to
form a permanent policyholders association,
which shall have the following among its
objects:
(a) To maintain a vigilant supervision 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.
(b) To require the annual distribution among the
policyholders of the dividends to which they are entitled,


and to prevent, so far as possible, the undue increase of the
vast accumulations which are the prolific source of tempta-
tion to mismanagement and waste.
(c) To furnish the 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
the full amount to which the beneficiaries are entitled, rather
than be required as at present to take what is offered with-
out having any practical means of redress.
(d) To prevent the payment to the officers of the
Companies of exorbitant salaries; to prevent the use of the
Companies' funds for political purposes or for the corruption
of legislative bodies.
(e) To see to it that the $33,000,000, or thereabouts,
of stocks of Banks and Trust Companies which the Com-
panies are required under recent legislation to sell within
five years, are disposed of to the best advantage of the
policyholders.
(/) To advise from time to time concerning the can-
didates for Directors that are presented for election by the
administration, and if necessary to nominate opposing can-
didates, and to endeavor to restrict the operations of the
Companies to the legitimate scope of the insurance business.
This movement of yours to arouse policy-
holders towards united action in this election
is the third and final step in completing
this insurance reform. The first step was a
thorough investigation, followed by The most
startling exposures of the methods of the Offi-
cers and Directors in the conduct of the affairs
of the Companies. The second step was the
declaration, in substance and effect, of the
Legislature of New York, that the Directors
were unfaithful trustees of the great interests
committed to their charge, and the passing of
a bill which practically legislated every Director
out of office and which called upon you, the
policyholders, to choose new Directors.
_ -.- responsibility of this third and final
step towards completing the insurance reform
of these two Companies rests with the policy-
holders. The nominations for new Directors
by this your Committee will in due time be
submitted to you.

-P











The newspapers and magazines of the country are supporting

the policyholders in this campaign


A Most Formidable Organization.
"With the announcement to-day of the
names of the men who have consented to
serve as members of the International
Policyholders Committee the most formid-
able organization yet formed to oust the
present managements of the Mutual and the
ew York Life Insurance companies is fairly
launched."-New York Herald.


TOO RICH A PIE.
"Nothing in the history of the country
compares in magnitude with this struggle of
r, iT,ooo policyholders to manage their own
savings. It is too rich a pie for Wall Street
to allow to escape without a bitter fight."-
Cincinnati Post.


Who Held the Keys?
"The New York Life is said to be con-
trolled by the Morgan interests, while the Mu-
tual Life is said to be controlled by the Rocke-
feller interests. The combined assets of the
two companies are $9oo00,ooo,ooo. That the
Wall Street interests which have always been
in complete control of this colossal sum will
make a great fight to retain it may be ex-
pected. But the work of organizing the
r,xoo,ooo policyholders for the conflict is
being well done, and with such an excellent
committee to direct the campaign a triumph
for the policyholders seems assured."-Buf-
falo Times.


FEROCIOUS WOLVES.
"The policyholders are battling to con-
trol the financial affairs of the company as
against a few rflnm-.i krocious wolves.-
Lincoln (Il.) Courier.


Who is the Policyholder, Anyway?
"If honest and economical management
of the company is desired by its members,
it cannot be had by continuing in control the
men who have denied the right of the policy-
holders to the first necessity to their organi-
zation in their own interest-acquaintance
with one another and communication through
the agency of the International Policy-
holders' Committee. Beyond this it should
not be forgotten that the very men who deny
the policyholders thist right arhe ones who
aided and abetted the loot of the New York
Life treasury by the crooks or who actually
shared in the graft."-New York Press.


Act as if Policyholders Were Intruders.
"These railroad presidents, bankers and
their kind are in constant dread of offending
J. P. Morgan & Co., Henry H. Rogers and
the other great magnates who can discharge
a railroad president like an office boy and
ruin a banker by their disfavor. By their
whitewashing reports, their suppression,
their cowardice, they have proved their un-
fitness for their great charge. The policy-
holders own the assets and are the com-
panies. The officials, high and low, are
merely the policyholders' employees and
agents. Whether the employers are wise or
foolish in their desire for reform, it is the
duty of Presidents Peabody and Orr to facili-
tate in every way the policyholders' wishes.
Instead of doing this, the managers act as if
they owned the companies, as if the policy-
holders were intruders."-New York World.


ELIMINATE WALL STREET.
"The policyholders' committee is a
good thing. It ought to bend its efforts to
eliminating the so-called Wall Street crowd,
whose sense of the fitness of things has been
spoiled by association with others like them-
selves. Their consciences do not reprove
them for acts that men elsewhere would call
by very harsh names."-Houghon (Mich.)
Gazette.


Whenever They Needed Cash.
"A group of financiers who have been
accustomed to borrowing from these great
institutions whenever they needed cash to
float a big enterprise or to manipulate a
stock jobbing deal, are arrayed against the
policyholders. Every means is being em-
ployed by these captains of millions to
retain a control which has enabled them to
handle the most stupendous projects with
comparative ease. If the policyholders
win it will be one of the severest blows
dealt the speculative ring that guides the
destinies of Wall Street, and may eventually
overthrow the dynasty that has controlled
the finances of the country for many years."
Toledo Blade.


A Rich Source of Supply.
"A few scapegoats were made to bear
the brunt of the New York life insurance
scandal. They suffered bitterly. Their
names stand dishonored. But when they
were crowded into the outer darkness of
infamy, the immense wealth they controlled,
owned by millions of policyholders, fell into
the hands of Wall Street financial manipula-
tors. The assets of only two of the com-
panies, the New York Life and the Mutual
Life, amount to $900,ooo,ooo. A rich source
of supply, truly, for loans with which to put
Wall Street deals through, Small wonder
that a desperate and treacherous fight was
made to defeat the bills in the New York
Legislature which aimed to restore the rights
of the policyholders. "-Cleveland Leader.


Wall Street's Speculative Ventures.
"Wall Street has always been in supreme
control of these vast savings for free use in
its speculative ventures and does not propose
to surrender its grip without a struggle that
will be historic. In many ra-ppccr the com-
inittee is the most remarkable body of its
kind ever formed. The names include the
strongest and most responsible citizens of
the country."-Auburn (N. Y.) Citizen.


PUT OUT THE MACHINE.
"The campaign that will be waged this
fall for the control of the New York Life and
the Mutual Life of New York will be the
warmest politics of the year. It may be de-
scribed as a battle between the independents
and the machine. The machine is the ins,
the independents are the policyholders who
have been clothed by the New York legis-
lature with the opportunity to recover posses-
sion of their own by casting votes that will
be counted. To aid them in their battle for
their natural rights the policyholders have
called to their assistance some of the most
distinguished men in the country."- Min-
neapolis Journal.


Compel Honest Management.
"If the holders of life-insurance policies
will make a moderate effort in their own be-
half they may secure control of the great
companies and compel them to be managed
in their interest rather than in that of what
Wall Street calls "high finance." The
members of the International Policyholders
Committee command the entire confidence of
the country."-Philadelphia Record.


Elections Have Been a Farce.
Few policyholders have voted and elec-
tions have been a farce, conducted in a
private office with masses of proxies col-
lected by agents and held year after year.
The new law provides for the independent
nominating and electing of trustees by the
policyholders. It presents a workable and
regulated method which will enable them to
exercise a real choice and exert an actual
power in determining the composition of the
boards. For years these companies have
been in the hands of self-perpetuating boards
of trustees and officers who have practically
chosen the trustees and controlled them in-
stead of being controlled by them."-New
York Commercial.


Agents: Don't Make Mistake.
"Without control of the agency organiza-
tion the administration tickets would not
have even a fighting chance. It is a mistake
for the agents to submit to this control.
Every honest agent would. do better by sell-
ing honest insurance under honest manage-
ment. The pressure now being brought
upon agents to secure votes and proxies is
something which they should be the first to
resist."-New York World.



The Machine and the Independents.
"In short, the fight for control may be
said to be a fight between the machine and
the ipenpendents. It is to be hoped that
every policyholder will read carefully the
arguments of both parties, and then vote
according to what seems to him the pre-
ponderance of reason and the best interest
of himself and the companies. "-New York
Sun..


The Policyholders Should Control.
"The policyholders will soon have an
opportunity of electing trustees of their own,

sent Wall Street control over their money,
which is now said to be represented by the
dominance of Mr. Rogers and other Standard
Oil men in one company and of Mr. Perkins
and others of the J. P. Morgan forces in the
other company. "-Worcester Evening Post.



PUT THEM ALL OUTi
It is remarkable that not one of the
remaining trustees in the New York and
Mutual Life, like Stuyvesant Fish, assails
the dishonesty and the corruption. Surely
not every trustee has policyholders' dol-
lars sticking to his fingers. Some must
have been only negligent. Their open ac-
quiescence now makes it necessary for the
policyholders to put them all out if the future
management of these two great companies
is to be economical and honest."-New
York World.


A Hopeful Sign.
"The organization of this committee is
one of the most hopeful signs of the times,
and the short time that has elapsed since the
first exposure was made until the organiza-
tion of the committee to take charge of
affairs for the policyholders, indicates that
the American people mean to lose no time
in the crusade that is to be waged in other
lines."-Indianafolis Sun.


DESPOTISM or DEMOCRACY.
"Whether the administration or the op-
position wins in the life insurance election
next fall, the benefit is sure to be great, for
between the past and the present in this
matter there is all the difference between
despotism and democracy." Syracuse
Post-Standard.


YOUR ONLY OPPORTUNITY.
"This is the only opportunity that the
policyholders will have for obtaining com-
plete control of the.insurance properties at
one election, as the law provides that here-
after only one-half of the directors can be
chosen in any one year."-New York Globe.



LOOTERS' INFLUENCE.
"The policyholders can hardly lose by
ridding their companies of the looters' influ-

As a Policyholder


Every policyholder in these Companies should vote against
the re-election of the present Directors. Every citizen
should help defeat this scheme to perpetuate the Wall
Street control over the savings of the people.-THE
WORLD, New York, July 5, 1906.


YOU have a VOTE


Fill out and return the
enclosed Question Blank.
Mail promptly.


You are one of over a million policyholders who are entitled to vote. The
election will be more important to you than any ordinary political election.
It concerns your insurance investments and means the election of thirty-six
Directors for the Mutual Life Insurance Company and twenty-four Directors
for the New York Life Insurance Company-complete Boards in each. The
method of conducting the election has been definitely fixed by law. Each
policyholder will have one vote and one only, no matter how large his policies
or how many policies he may have. Voting will be by ballot. In marking
your ballot you will have the opportunity of choosing between the candidates
nominated by the present managements and those nominated by the .Inter-
national Policyholders Committee. The nominations for Directors by this
Committee will be announced not later than September 18. The ballots will
be sent you on October 18, and they are to be returned by mail. Policy-
holders will have two months (or until December 18) in which to return
their ballots. This time is necessary on account of the many thousands of
policyholders in foreign countries.
Read the "COMMITTEE'S ADDRESS" on the inside pages.


Don't give proxies. You will be asked for proxies by agents of
the Insurance Companies or, it may be, by "prominent citizens"

selected by the Companies. Don't give them. Do your own voting.

Why should you let others vote for you? All old proxies have been

cancelled by law. Proxies given or taken in advance of October 18

next are void. But don't give proxies to anybody either before or

after October 18.


VOTE by BALLOT

When you get your ballot on October 18, mark it and sign it yourself and DROP
IT IN THE MAIL. Full directions will be sent you later.
Don't let agents of the Insurance Companies advise you differently.
The ballot for either Company will have the names of all candidates. The success of
the "Administration Ticket" will mean the continuance of the former discredited
insurance managements. The success of the "International Policyholders' Ticket"
will mean new and honest administration by men approved by this Committee.
Full and complete information regarding the method of voting will be sent you later.
In the meantime do all you can to interest other policyholders in this election
campaign.
If you know of policyholders in either Company who have not received this circular, will you not ask them to
communicate with this office. If agents of the Companies, or of any other corporations having branches
throughout the country, should try to influence your vote or the votes of other policyholders. you will do policy-
holders a service if you will notify, this office promptly, giving names and particulars.
