All proxies given before October 18th are void, but no proxy is necessary. The polls open October 18th and will remain open sixty days. Ballots will be mailed to each policy-nOidsT and may be marked and returned by mail. Under the new laws the present insuT- sLce homogeneous will nominate their candidates for directors on July 18th It is generally understood in insurance circles that theirs will be a stand pat" policy; that the same men or their doubles will be nominated. The pGlicy-holderS have until September 18th to name their tickets.
