New York Life in Politics.
In the course of the legislative in
vestigatioE of New York life insurance
companies, now in progress, George
W. Perkins, first vice president of the
New York Life, Friday gave interest
ing testimony. He said that the New
York Life, through its president who
is nominally democrat, had CON
tributed $4,000 at each of the last
three presidential contests TO the
republican campaign fund. It had
been done, he said, to protect the
interests of the policy holders. which.
liz the opinion OF the company, would
have been jeopardized by democratic
success. President Mccall of the
New York Life says that the demo-
Gratis tried every way to get money
for campaign purposes from his COM
pany and that Judge Parker crossed
his path at every move to secure
money from him, Mccall. Parker
fatty denies this charge and says that
he neither directly or indirectly
solicited or put himself in the way of
Mccall, and that he strictly prohibited
his campaign workers TO receive
money from such companies. The
books of the New YORK Life show
where hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been put into political
leaders hands and such sums have
not been accounted for in any way,
save as astraight gift.
