LOCAL POLICY HOLDERS
INN. Y, LIFE COMPANIES
HOLD MASS MEETING
And Decide to Send Proxies to Mr..
Lawson.

Manitowoc residents who hold policies
in the New York old line insurance
companies held mass meeting at the
city ball last Thursday evening. DIR.
Frank Ghebe was elected chairman and
City Clerk Arthur Reichert was chosen
as secretary of the meeting. Eighteen
policy holders were present 1t was
voted to support Thomas W. Lawson,
the noted Boston writer and financier,
in his fight for control of the New York
Life Insurance companies. Probably be
tween so and 100 proxies will be sent in
from here. A committee composed of
George Urban, Prof. Michael Kalaher
and Charles Buerstatte was named to
draw up resolutions.
At the opening of last Thursday even
ings meeting DR.. Ghebe gave a brief
address in which he clearly set forth the
purpose of the meeting and pointedly
explained the good work Mr.. Lawson is
trying to do in the matter of ousting the
grafters in charge of the affairs of the
aforesaid companies and electing new
board of directors for each of them.
DR.. Ghebe also suggested that Arthur
Reichert be elected secretary of the
meeting, inasmuch as the seal of a
notary was requisite for the validity OF
the proxies, the form of which he read
and explained, after stating that he was
supplied with the necessary number OF
blanks to enable all Manitowoc policy
holders, in the companies named, desir'
GUS OF sending in their proxies to sign
and thus be instrumental in the accom-
plishment Of the laudable work Mr..
Lawson had undertaken. Mr.. Reicher,
was thereupon chosen secretary, and, at
the further suggestion of DR.. Ghebe, il
was voted that each policy holder sign
ing proxy should pay 10 cents to the
secretary to compensate him for his
work in filling out the blanks and affix
ing his notary's seal thereto.
At the conclusion of DR.. Ghebes re
marks, Mr.. Fred Schuette was called or
to express his views regarding the ad
visibility of sending in proxies to Mr.
Lawson. He gave talk that was listen
ed TO with profound appreciation by al
in attendance. He denounced the dis
honest methods Of the grafters thai
have enriched themselves at the expense
of the policy holders, and he said that II
would please him highly if the dishonest
gang were arrested, convicted, and made
to serve term in the penitentiary
Such plain, wholesome speech from the
lips of one of the most prominent citl'
zens of the city is, to say the | last
calculated to serve as n moral tonic. Al
the close of his remarks Mr.. Schuette
signed a proxy. Others indorsed the
views expressed by MIR. Schuette, and
all interested persons present decided t1
delegate their votes to Mr.. Lawson
Thereupon it was agreed not to send il
any proxies until resolutions had beer
adopted at subsequent meeting, Sc
that all interested parties residing in thu
city might have an opportunity to sign
proxy, and so that all proxies from
this city could be sent in at the same
time and be accompanied by suitable res
olutions.

put on should be notified Let every
teacher attend to his duty in the matter

them successful. Try to get as many
teachers 10 participate as possible.
When we are put on the program let
us consider it a moral obligation to carry
it out to the best of our ability. To do
this means preparation. An unprepared
teacher very often is the antecedent of
an unprepared pupil, Let us make our
teachers meetings model schools in re-
