Der 18th In Cairo and throughout the
civilized world for the control of the
millions Of New York Life insurance
company money that have cut such
a large figure in the finances of the
entire nation.
The men in control of the company
backed by its vast resources and SUI.
petior organization. set 10 work a
compact machine for the purpose Of
capturing, at the outset. a majority
of the votes of the policyholders.
The committee representing the In.
ternational policyholders, opened
campaign to eounteract he effective
campaigning of the administration
Both sides sent our tickets marked
for their lists of candidates for direc.
tors of the company 10 all the policy
| holders in the world.
Twenty four directors are to be
elected and each poicyholder is en-.
Titled to one vote Under the law gov.
erning The election, all proxies given
| before October 18th were declared
void and new proxies and new votes
were required to be necessary for the
expression of a choice.
Sixty Days for the Vote.
The election is to be held December
18th and all votes must be in the
New York office by that date. This
gives the contending forces sixty days
In which to poll the entire vote of the
company.
Tickets were printed, giving both
tickets for directorships, bur the com.
pany had stricken out all the names
OF the opposition, leaving the voter
no choice save to vote for the direc- |
tors who have the backing of the adj |
ministration. The company's entire at |
tention was directed TO making this |
play effective.
The opposition sent out it's tickets |
with the names of the administration
candidates removed with red ink.
Policy holders in this region are
assured in their own minds that the
exposure made some months ago as
to the wild and reckless extravaganza
Ia the management of the company's
affairs will prevent repetition of the
same, They believe that what is now
called the administration ticket is the
more capable of controlling the vast
resources of the company.
A home committee" was recently !
selected and on last Thursday sent
out the following letter to nearly
1000 other policy holders in Cairo |
and vicinity. Enclosed with II were /
postal cards addressed to Mr.. Jonn {
