rect, and you replied that you would nomi-
nate him as a director II he would promise
in advance to refuse the nomination. which
was itself an attempt to commit breach
of the agreement He naturally declined
TO become party to such an attempt. You
appear finally TO have reconsldered your
intention as to the outgoing directors.
We are quite aware that you have rea-
sons at the meeting for your refusal 10
ported as going so far as TO claim that
you had some understanding to the effect
that the person to be elected should be
satisfactory to you, thus substituting your
self AZ the sole judge, whereas the entire
intention Of the agreement, In respect 20
the vacancy. was to eliminate you as the
person to select and substitute the judg-
ment and action OF majority OF the d.
The simple fact appears to be that. re-
CARELESS OF your written promise. on the
faith Of which you were entrusted with tie
proxies, you found no difficulty in satisfy
ing Yourself that your personal Interest and
the interest of the company are identical
and that any action was justldable to assist
YOU to secure your own control.
This incident is the climax of q series Of
events during the last few years showing an
inability on your part to distinguish he
tween the powers and duties of the presi-
dent and those Of the directors Of a cor
poration. t2-t sn
We will not for moment admit that YOU
are more loyal TO- the stockholders or more
keenly alive to the interests Of the public
IN the performance Of the public duties Of
the company than your fellow directors,
nor will we, while directors Of the company
permit you to assume 10 act as the entire
board To make agreements and violate
them, or to aspcrse the motives Of your fell
low members In the expectation OF securing
personal advantage At their expense
The situation is solely Of your own Great
Ing. but in view Of what has taken nlacc.
Of your deliberate violation OF an agreement
intended to produce peace in the board, and
your attitude toward your fellow members
we are convinced that you have rendered
impossible that harmony which must exist
between the president OF the company and
aanrsa vFf aHA mud
you have so seriously impaired your use-
fulness as an officer OF the company To
compel us to refuse to vote i'm favor OF your
reelection. Yours truly,
