2 THE MORNING OBEGOSIAN, -MONDAY, MAY S, 1905. FOUR PARTI ES WILL BE IN FIGHT New York Expects Repetition of Henry George Campaign for Mayoralty. OWNERSHIP ISSUE IS UP Republicans Expect It to Split Dem ocratic Vote and Drive Many Votes to Them and Give Them Victory. NEW YORK, May 7. (Special.) A real four-cornered fight for the May oralty Is a novelty, even in a large city like New York, but the forces are lining up, and the opposing factions are becoming clearly apparent. In 1S97, the first year of Greater New York, the voters participated In a fight of this character, but the death of Henry George, almost on the eve of election, disarranged plans and led to a Tammany victory. The Citizens Union is the first or ganization to take formal action. It held a meeting the other night, and appointed a committee to confer with other bodies, with the purpose of unit ing on a nonpartisan platform. A pe culiar incident of the meeting was the fact that the committeemen were ab solutely instructed that no fusion tick et could be considered, unless District Attorney William Travers Jerome was accepted for renomination. Since then, the leaders having learned that the District Attorney would probably be on the Tammany ticket also, have declared that if he accepts any aid from the Tiger, he cannot go on their ticket, which places the Citizens' Union in the peculiar po sition that it Is absolutely pledged to a man, and will insist upon pledges from everybody else, but if Tammany is for him, then all pledges must be reversed. Ownership a Great Issue. To any person who has studied the situation. It is apparent that the Mu nicipal Ownership League is going to cut considerable of a figure in the coming campaign. The election in Chicago has greatly encouraged advo cates of city ownership, and the prop osition has grown far beyond what It was first Intended to bo a personal organ of William Randolph Hearst. Events of the last day make it clear that Mr. Hearst will not be lllo can didate. He is going to Europe within a. ffew weeks to spend the Summer, and In the meantime the other members of the league are hunting around for a candidate. Martin W. Littleton. Borough President of Brooklyn, has been offered the nomina tionat least his friends say so, although Mr. Littleton declines to discuss the mat ter at all. One reason of his popularity with the "Leaguers" is the fact that he. is the only member of the Board of Esti mate, the representative governing body of the city, who has taken an active stand in favor of city ownership. When the city's contract with the Gas Trust came up for approval, Mr. Littleton spoke and worked against It, and Insisted that the first steps toward the city ownership of the public lighting system be taken. One of the men concerned In the negotiations with Mr. Littleton made this statement on the subject: The Democratic party elected Mr. Van Wyck Mayor on a municipal ownership plat form In 1897. Then the party promptly re pudiated the platform. That Is eight year ago, and although we have here any amount of party pledges since, nothing has been done to push the municipal ownership fight. In deed, the present city administration seems less advanced and more inclined to the prin ciple of strict individualism than Mr. Low w&s. The ; attitude of the Democratic ad ministration toward municipal ownership Is something lllie this: The Democratic party erects a long stairway upon a succession of steps, and pledges itself to climb to the top. When the time comes It refuses to mount a stair and instead turns tail and runs down cellar. The platform of the Municipal Owner ship League will differ materially from that of the Citizen's Union, although both nave as the basis non-partisanship. The Citizen's Union wjil go no further than that,, but the Ownership people have grafted on the main planks of Judge Dunne's 'Chicago platform and want to have the city own practically everything in sight. The main strength of the Citi zen's Union will be anti-machine Republi cans, while the other nonpartisans expect to draw heavily from the rank and file of the Tammany and Brooklyn Democrats. Good Chance, for Republicans. Republicans have been watching the course of events' with much interest and believe that the time has come when a straight ticket of their own will have a good -chance of success, in fact County Clerk Thomas L.- Hamilton Is so. pleased with the prospect that -he has gone to Europe.-to discuss the matter with State Chairman Odell, who, regardless of the .Piatt attack now impending, will In all probability decide what course the city Republicans shall follow In the coming1 campaign. Mr. Hamilton wants to be the candidate. He was a member of the bi-partisan police board in 1SSS. but was removed by Mayor Van "Wyck because he refused to promote certain Democrats as ordered. In 1501 he was elected County Clerk, being swept into office on the tide that carried Seth Low in. His term expires with the end of the present year, and he believes he is entitled to be promoted. Here is the way a prominent Republican figures It out: "There will probably be about 550,000 votes cast at this Fall's election, of which SO. 080 can be deducted for the minor or ganizations, the Socialist, Socialistic Labor and Prohibitionists. On a. straight out party test without any outside Issues, the Democrats should have around 100.000 majority.. Make it 110.000, which was what Coler got In 1M2, and the vote would be 315.890 Democrats and 366,000 Republi cans "The Citizens Union i a dead Issue; It ie a clece corpora ties run by & few Jatgh- toned men, and everybody has got heart ily sick of it. If they stood up and were counted this Fall they couldn't get 40,000 votes, of which we would lose about 50.000. "Will Split Democratic Vote. "This municipal ownership business Is going to draw a great many votes and will hurt Tammany ten votes to one for ourselves. In every tenement house In the city you will find people talking about the gas trust, and although they have been robbed for years they hate It more than they used to hate the ice trust. -The new party is going to split the Democrats right up the back. Just as Henry George did In 1S87. when Republicans, fearing he would be elected, deserted Theodore Roosevelt and turned In and elected Abram Hewitt. "This year you will find that toward the wlndup of tho campaign Tammany men and cits will .be so badly scared at the progress of the municipal ownership idea that they will turn to the Republican candidate, whoever he may be. That's one reason why our crowd does not care for a fusion ticket this year. In the past the citizens have buncoed us, but now we have a chance to get everything ourselves, and I believe we will take It." BOATS ARE NEARLY DONE American Designer Rushes "Work In Russian Yards. SEBASTOPOL, May 7. The torpedo boats which are being built at the government yard here, under the gen eral supervision of Lewis Nixon, of New York, are nearlng completion and their trials in the Black Sea will begin in a few days. In order to overcome the difficulty always encountered in work in a foreign country, Mr. Nixon provid ed his own organization, wlth,which he has pushed the construction of these boats to a state of completion. Much Is expected of these torpedo boats. The Russian Admiralty already has had practical eviJence of the sea worthiness of the Nixon boats In the performance of the Gregory, which crossed the Atlantic in the face of heavy weather, but the future pres tige of the designer of the American battleship Oregon will depend in Rus sia npon'the result of the coming trials, which will be much more sever6 than usual, In order to test certain things claimed for them by their American constructor.

Equltable's Chief Officer Declares Mutual Plan Is Fundamental. Will Not Resign From Of fice He Now Holds. NEW YORK, May ".-James W. Alex ander, president of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, tonight made public a letter written by him to Edward A. Woods, manager of the society at Pitts burg, In which he asserts that the sur plus of the society is held for the ex clusive benefit of Its policyholders and not the holders of the stock. Mr. Alex ander also takes occasion In the letter to deny the rumors that he will resign. The letter was written under date of yesterday, in reply to a request from Mr. Woods for a confirmation of certain of ficial statements made by the Equitable Society regarding "the mutual, plan of its business and the exclusive ownership of the policyholders of the surplus." ' Alex ander said In part: "I recognize that for the benefit of the present and future policy-holders of the society there should be at this time some clear and unequivocal expression on this subject and without reviewing all tho society's statements I consider that there can be no doubt as to three facts: First, that the business of the society has been conducted In ac cordance with Its charter since the date of its organization on the mutual plan; second, that the profits of the society have been accumulated for Its policy holders, and third, that the surplus of the society is held for the exclusive ben efit of its policy-holders. "I do not recall any serious question having ever arisen on these points until recently, when a claim has been put for ward on behalf of the stockholders which Is at variance with the terms of the so ciety's charter, the uniform course of Its business and all its official and unofficial statements and representations. This Is not merely my own understanding and opinion, but Is confirmed by Mr. Van Cisc. who, as you know, has been In the serv ice of the society for nearly forty years, most of tho time as its actuary." Alexander then quotes from a letter written by Van Cise to the society's man ager at Albany, In response to formal In quiries from the latter on the subject of surplus. In this letter, under date of May 5, Mr. Van Cise says: "As an officer of the Equitable Life As- Cltnni QnMslv T full.. oir.u . ., ... . '""J " P ' "" J AS to Ihn tnith of thi fAltnn-Inc atntn. merits In regard to the Equitable: "First That the business has always been and must always be. conducted on the mutual plan. "Second That the entire surplus belongs to the policy-holders exclusively. "Third That each participating policy holder will receive his due share of sur plus profits in accordance with the terms of each contract, -respectively. "Fourth That the, agents In .soliciting business on this basis have acted with ; due authority. j "Fifth That the policy-holder' have no ! ground for apprehension or doubt in the ' I premises. j "Sixth In this connection 1 would say 1 that while I have been connected with ' j the Equitable as clerk and officer for ! nearly thirty-eight years, I have never until recently heard of any questions bo- i ing raised as to the absolute ownership of the surplus of the society by its policy holders. "For about thirty years I have had the privilege of being associated as one of the subordinate officers with Henry B. Hyde, the founder and late president of the society, and my recollection is that In his declarations, both verbal and in writing, he always stated that the busi ness of the Equitable was transacted on the mutual plan and that the stockhold ers could not receive more than the divi dend of $7000 per annum on their capital stock, which was provided for by the charter. "Mr. Hyde always directed me to ap portion surplus to policy-holders when entitled by their contracts to such ap portionment on the basis of all of It be longing to policy-holders, and he was very much averse to any reduction of dividends unless such reduction was found to be absolutely necessary In accordance with our experience. "As actuary and assistant actuary of the society. I have had special charge during more than twenty-five years of the apportionment of surplus to holders of deferred dividend contracts at the end of their dividend periods, and. In making such apportionments, I have always pro ceeed upon the assumption that the en tire surplus of the society belonged to its policy-holders." "These statements." continues Mr. Alexander. In his letter, "are literally true. They should set at rest all doubts and quiet an agitation which should never have arisen and Is naturally dis turbing to the society's policy-holders and agents. "No. greater emphasis could be given to the fact that the Equitable Life In surance Society is really a mutual Insur ance company in which the interests and rights of the policy-holders are recog nized as paramount, than the success of the recent effort to confer upon the policy-holders the right of electing a ma jority of the society's directors. It will follow that the personal propriety regime within the secretary must succumb to the checks and restraints necessarily in volved In this passing of control to the policy-holders and many of the abuses and Irregularities which arc now In course of elimination cannot thereafter occur. It 'should be a source of confidence to every one In the society that the cor rection of all conditions hurtful In ten dency or effect is being accomplished within the society itself. 'Notwithstanding the present publicity and wide discussion of the society's af fairs. I regard the suggestion as full of encouragement for all who are truly in terested in the society and its prosperity. The financial strength and stability of the society are not questioned. There is no abatement of effort on the part of its official staff and loyal agency force to perform their full duty to the society In maintaining and extending its growth and prestige. "The work we have Inaugurated will be carried to a successful completion. In this determination there Is but one thought, either on the present independent members of the board of directors, the society's officers, or of the agents. I shall devote myself and all my strength to Its accomplishment. "Do not be deceived by rumors or sug gestions of my resignation as president of the society. They proceed from Inter ested sources and are Intended to dis credit and defeat the principle of mutual. 1 ration. Although no one appreciates bet ter than I the sensitive character of a life Insurance company's credit and the great importance of Its hold upon public con fidence. "I firmly believe that the fact that the society propose to take eare of Itself and to work oat Its owa refers will xf fer the best peeel-ble guarantee of its Inherent strength and the security of Ks -future OIds,Wortmon & King $3.50 Yum Yum Bed Springs $1.75 Each A "Different Store" Sermon This store has built up a skys craping tower of SUC CESS founded upon Truth. Neighboring stores have sought to solve the secret of such success, but in every in stance have failed to mix in, as a foundation, the princi pal ingredients, TRUTH and DEPENDABILITY. Satur day a local store advertised a "GREAT SPECIAL SALE OF IRON BEDS AND SPRINGS." Among other things along like lines, they advertised "$10 IRON BEDS FOR 6.90." A fur niture man happened along. He naturally was interested; examined the beds, and found they were the same as sold HERE at $6.50 regular ly. He went still further and found a price-ticket the tricky, but careless, store keeper had overlooked. It read $7.00. And yet that storekeeper had licensed his advertising man to say "a $10 bed." No wonder that store's advertising is wasted. Other items advertised were the well-known stand ard "YUM-YUM" BED SPRINGS, a $3.50 value, for $2.25. Our patrons may come here today and buy the same for $1.75. Another item was "2-ply Wire Springs, regular $2.25 value, for $1.45." Our pat rons may select the same here today at $1.00.
