that there is no political excitement to
distract the public attention, that the
president of the New York Life was
not the only such contributor. The
officers of the other great life insurance
companies, such as the Equitable and
Mutual, also contributed from the pol

last year.
what has been proved in the case
Of the New York life will undoubtedly
be proved in the other cases. The facts
exist, and honest and able counsel,
backed by an honest committee, will
undoubtedly bring them out for the
public good.
Other Corporations in Same Boat.
"Were there an investigation Of rail-
road, manufacturing and other corpora
tons it would be found that these life
insurance officers were not the only
corporation officers who put their
hands into the treasury and took out
moneys belonging to widows and or
phans to help secure a partisan trl-
umph.
THAT their acts were unlawful and
their purposes corrupt goes without
saying. They intended to have the
money used, as 1t was, in corrupting the
electorate. Mr.. Perkins makes the
point that Mr.. John A. Mccall, thu
president of the New York Life, is 9
democrat. Apparently he would have
the public assume that when Mr.. Nc.
Call .unlawfully and wrongfully con
