II have read the statement of Mr..

This is part OF what Mr.. scrugham said:
"Mr. Peabody has frankly proclaimed
tha, the present management has no In

on their books, and In the same breath
announces that they are correcting their
lists for their own use I'm sending out their

ers' committee.
1T Is an open statement that these gem

possess, solely as trustees for the benefit

"They are treating the owners OF the

them as children who may use the In
formation 20 which they are entitled for
dangerous purposes.
"The legislature provided merely a
means OF furnishing the policyholders ac-

Mr.. scrugham then declared that this
effort OF the Mutuars officers TO keep the

cumbent as to ability, availability
and character. Many men may be
mentioned but no man who does not
seem to measure up to the peoples
ideal will be seriously considered for
that exalted Office, which carries with
it such great power and tremendous
responsibility. While there are many
men who have the capacity and abil-
ity and the high character to make
good presidents, they lack the wide
experience and extended knowledge OF
public men and governmental affairs
to meet the requirements. Conse-
quently the number who can till the
bill is very limited.
