They have consented to the election | of dummy boards of directors exerting no supervision whatever over | the conduct of business, and even at annual meetings they have per- mitted their stock to he voted by proxies without an intelligent concept | of what the proxies would do. | Should the new rule cause such an immediate loss to stockholders | as will compel them to attend to their interests and elect responsible boards of directors, there will result an eventual benefit to everybody. Even the dummy director will feel better. a THE CRITICAL MOMENT. ITH the week end comes a respite in the Senatorial contest, so far, at least, as the open wrangle in the Legislature is concerned, There is then time and opportunity for the Democratic majority to take STW) « survey of the situation and see how far they © have been driven from the true course by the domi nation of Tammany. With a clear mandate from tho people to eend to the Senate aq man who will guard the public welfare against the greed of an un- scrupulous plutocracy, what have the Democratic members of the Legislature done? What are they going to do? Bosses with peremptory orders, wirepullers with various wills, big interests with many blandishments are busy at their intrigues and imbroglios. They are losing no time. They are wasting no energy. They are missing no trick.
