DEAD CAST VOTES
In Recent Insurance Election, is One
Of Charges of Policyhoiders.

New York, April THE Interna-
tional Policyholders committee issued
a statement today pointing out alleged
violations OF tbs present insurance
code BY the companies In the recent
election of officers and the alleged In
efficiency of the department OF insur.
anca in supervising the election. The
statement says in part:
From the beginning the compan-
.es. with the assistance Of the depart
ment OF insurance, have evaded and
nullified in every way possible the law
ais enacted. The companies filed lists
of policy holders at Albany which
contained thousands of incorrect
names with false and misleading adj.
dresses, while they gave TO agents and
canvassers. not alone the correct
names and addresses. but the policy
of the insured.
Numerous instances developed
where agents sent in proxies and bal
lots baring the ames of policy hold
ers who had been dead for years.
while many ballots were cast bearing
the names of former policy holders
who had allowed their policies to
lapse"
