Ix Centre county there are hundreds
of policy holders, democrats and repub-
licans, in the three great life insurance
Companies, the Equitable, the New
York Life, and in the New York Mutual
Life insurance company. These policy
holders have several hundred thousand |
dollars thus placed in life insurance and
their policies guarantee these policy
holders fair and honest dividends of the |
profits, Investigations now going on!
prove clearly that each of these three
companies has been robbing the policy
holders of millions of dollars in enormous
salaries, by speculating with the profits
and putting hundreds of thousands of |
dollars into the campaign fund of the G. |
0. P. machine. The dividends of the |
policy holders have been dwindling down |
gradually, instead of growing as the!
profits warrant,and the officers and politi- |
cians have fattened into millionaires, |
How do the robbed policy holders of Cen-
tre county like this? Robbery in every |
avenue, even in the sacred trust of life |
insurance, is being practiced by the
scoundrels who are, and for years have |
been, running public affairs, corporations |
and the trusts. How do you like it7|
and will you vote to keep these proved. |

shamefully robbing widows and orphans?

to pay wy compliments to that article for the benefit of the ‘‘Republican
party’’of our county. The Gazette and a few notables with their ‘‘Maocheavilian
heads’’ are not the ‘'Republionn party’ of our connty. I for one consider is an
outrage to judge, in this manver, of the intelligence of our county people.
