Voting Strength.

There are about 100000 policyhold-
ers in the Mutual and as each policy
holder, whether insured for 81 900 or
100000 or $1,OO000O, is entitled to one
vote in an election for trustees, the
country is being secured for proxies
Not only is the present management
charged with using the policyhold-
ers' money to pay agents to secure
proxies, but it has refused to supply
anyone else a list of the policyholderk-
-e association, therefore, can learn
o. them only through those already in
terested, VINO pass the word along
This is being done by State associa-
tions and otherwise, and many infiH-
entail men il various localities are ~
their own expense advertising in the
newspapers in order that the policy
holders may be informed as to what
is being done

Of the total vote in the convention
$50 are necessary to choice. AS il
now stands 613 are necessary to or
ganize the convention, leaving out the
"a contested votes. AS to the merits
of the conflicting claims relative to
the contested counties, we express nc
opinion. We are simply endeavorine
to give the vote as il stands. Cox
mas SO counties with an instructed
and uncontested vote Of 302. Patter.
son has Is counties with an instruct
ed and uncontested vote of sos. Bond
has counties with an instructed and
uncontested vote of rs. There are 81
counties, with 526 votes, yet to act. Ii
there are no more contested votes,
Patterson will have to receive 305 of
the 526 votes yet uneXpressed in order
to control the convention. He will
have to receive $50 more votes in or
der to have a majority of the total
vote of the convention. Cox will have
to receive 81 Of the 526 votes in or
der to control the convention. He will
have to receive 1858 more votes i'll or
der to have a majority of the total
vote Of the convention. No account is
taken Of the is uninstructed votes in
substracting from the 526 votes the
necessary to organize the con
Yention without the contested vote.
The vote at present shows a very
close race between Cox and Patter
son. The winner must secure about
three-fftbs Of the 526 votes yet unde-
clared Whoever captures Davidson
will gain an immense advantage, and
viii probably win. The vote OF Judge
Bond is to be considered in the con
vention Should it go to Cox it would
enhance the latter's
Should it go to Patterson
it would be a great advantage to him.
This in the event that Bonds vote
is needed to decide the contest in the
It is not probable that
vote would go solidly to either
Cox or Patterson. It would probably
divide between the two.
The fight for the Governorship, or
the nomination, is by no means ended
or decided, The leading candidates
are running neck and neck, and may
enter the convention ia that position
It is more probable, however, that it
will be decided within the next forty
days.

government. 1t is hoped by these
means to bring about the universal
abolition of the microbe-laqen mouth
piece of the present day telephone.
The new mechanism is said to be very
Ingenious; one being available for
commercial and private use and the
other for military field operations and
railway work.
The invention known as the mono
phone which is for commercial use,
has a receiver of new type and of
exceptional carrying power. 1t is
about ten inches long, with a plain
handle, funnel shaped at one end.
This funnel, whether held above or
below or to the back of the head or
pointed upward or downward, collects
the speakers voice and transmits his
words. AS the user must not apply
the funnel close to his mouth the by
gienic advantages are obvious. As the
direct current of air does not conc
into contact with the membrance Of
the funnel all distributing vibrations
are avoided and perfect articulation is
secured. The invention is the work
of Mr.. Holmstrom the chief engineer
Of the Swedish telegraph office and is
said to be much cheaper tnan most
telephone attachments designed to
produce similar results
The other invention is field teIe-
phone and sound telegraph for mill
tary purposes. It was first designed
by Lieutenant L. Jungman, Of the
Swedish ROYAL Engineers. BY its aid
a body Of troops, horse or foot, can
keep in constant touch with a general
officer at the base of operations with
out delaying the march. The appara-
tus is simple to a degree It consists
of a small brass cylinder about nine
inches long by three in diameter, CON
tanning a dry battery and a speaking
receiver, which is strapped to the
chest Of a soldier Fixed to his back
are small drums which, although
light, can hold 300 miles Of wire, the
base being Of course, attached to a re-
ceiver. Strapped TO the ear Of the
cavalryman is another receiver which
is also connected with a cylinder. As
the trooper gallops along the wire un.
rolls from the drum, and it may either
be allowed to lie on the ground or be
picked up by a soldier following who
places it on a bunch of trees. The cy.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Will the
policyholders of the Mutual Life In
surance Company succeed in their eff
forts to wrest the control of the com,
pany from those who nearly wrecked
it? This is the question which tSOus-
ands of these policyholders are now
anxiously asking of Secretary Russell
W. Fitch, of the Mutual Life Policy
holders Association, which has its
headquarters in this city.
The present management, firmly in
trenched in the control of the enormous
financial resources of the company, is
determined to perpetuate itself if pos
sible. = has the great advantage of
having cc3ess to all the books and
thus can reach every policyholder by

Consequently the policyholders are
anxious to change this condition ana
