Theauditing committee then re^^ported as follows: ^^Report of Auditing Committee
Thecommittee appointed to audit^the books of the state secretary and^state treasurer, beg leave to report^as follows:
Thatwe have audited the state^secretary's books from March 23rd,^date of transfer of accounts to the^present secretary, until June oth at^the time of sitting of convention.
Thatowing to the absence of any^records, previous to March 23rd,^we are unable to check t^eyond that^date. On March 23rd, we find per^cash book a balance of ^54.01. The^receipts and disbursements of the^cash book corresponding with the^receipt book stubs and warrants is^sued thereon, showing a balance bv^the state secretary on June Oth 1904^of ^44.09 as follows: balance in^Bank ^20.31. Cash in hand of^state secretary ^23.78.
Wefind this cash in the hands of^the statesecretary, on account of the^state treasurer refusing to receive any^monies after May 22nd, 1904; the^state treasurer basing his action on^the ground of irregular procedure^in the handling of the state funds.
Wefind a discrepancy of ^137^between the state secretary's cash^account and the books of the state^treasurer.
Wefail to find a cash balance^drawn off in the state secretary's^cash book at any time.
Wefail to find any method of^handling the amounts due state sec^^retary, in the matter of dues owed^by the various locals of the state.
Againstthe cash balance of ^44.-^09, we find an indebtedness of^^42.28, money advanced by, and^accrued salary of state secretary^Pierce: an amount of ^10.50 due^the American Labor I'nion for liter^^ature sold M. W. Wilkins and guar^^anteed by the state Socialist Com^mittee; an amount of ^20.00 due^the American Labor Union for liter^ature sold T. A. Hickey and guar^anteed by the state Socialist Com^^mittee: an amount of ^ 1*9. 50 back^salary of P. J. Cooney, showing a^net deficit of ^218.19.
Wefind a very incomplete and^unsystematic method used in hand^ling the accounts of the Socialist^part] of Montana.
Itis the opinion of this committee^that state secretary Pierce and state^treasurer (^alder have exercised an^homst administration of affairs, in^^sofar as their power, and facilities^for the handling of the an omits^permit.
Theauditing committee recom^^mends, to the state convention, in^b ^dv assembled that,
1st.It thoroughly considers the^claims of State Secretary P. J.^Cooney, regarding the amount he^asks as back salary.
2nd.That the state convention^take immediate steps to adopt a^more orderly and perfect system, in^handling the finances, of the Social*^ist Party of Montana, with a view^of placing and maintaining the par^^ty on a substantial basis financially.^MRS. K. Ansa (Ikkmav,^Chairman.

Committee.On motion the report of the aud^it.ng committee was adopted as^read.
*
Hiport of Committee on Consti^^tution and Py laws. Mr. Mickey^moves the adoption by section.
Sproule:^The State Committee^has met time and again ami have^C'lie to a great deal of expense to^^r fie a constitution and b\ -laws
^!we were told yesterday that the^state committee was entirely at the^disposal of this convention. If this^is s... and this convention is undci-^l^l lag to do work that the com^^mittee has done up to the present^time, and which has cost the So^^cialist party many hundreds ot^1! liars to do, I want to say that if^i's work is declared to be simply^nothing at all and that this ^ om en^tfoa is to i! ake a nciv set of by-laws,^I don't sec a bit of use of tail c om^mittee and would have that clause^struck out, as this committee is sim
plya useless expense to the party.^Comrades, we must act by the con^stitution.
Levengood:^l make a motion^that the report of the committee be^concurred in and the committee^discharged.
Hickey,^Even if yon do dis^^charge this committee, the time has^not been wasted because a financial^point has been brought out and re^^ferred to the members of this con^^vention, and that is this; that your^committee as fast as they possibly^can will be sluffed; they shall get^just as little pieces of business as^we can possibly give them. It is^state convention, they are going to^do the work for the party. (Inter^^ruption). When 1 say sluff, I say^a word in common use among men.^It means to put aside, to discard.^The committee has taken hold of^things, and the rest do nothing, and^result of the committee's meeting^secretly, the result of the great up^rising of the masses is stilled by the^committee. It is not alone so in^Montana, but in other states. The^result in whatever state you go in^the United States, in which there is^a representative Socialist movement,^there the state convention steps in^and elects a ticket. There will be^about nine men tomorrow acting on^this. Most of us are going home^tonight, and Comrade Langford will^be all that is left. We don't want^to see that kind of business.
Thereport therefore of the com^mittee on constitution was not read^as the convention had no constitu^tional right to amend or change the^constitution.
Nominationfor Presidential Elec^^tors.
W.H. Tierce nominates Holden.^Mr. Graham: ^As Comrade Hol^^den was elected four years ago, I^believe in putting someone else up^who was with him before. I nomi^nate Comrade G. F. Maybe of^Chico.^ Joseph Hoar was also^placed in nomination.

Grahammoves that they proceed^to elect by roll call. The party^having the majority of votes shall^become the nominee of the Conven^tion. Sproule's resignation for the^nomination accepted.

Committeeon Platform and Res^olutions reported the following res^^olution unfavorable:
Whereas:^The Montana News^is the one paper in the state tha'^lias unswervingly held aloft the ban^nei ol class conscious revolutionary^Socialism for the past eighteen^months, despite the unremitting op^^tion ,,f the capitalist party of^the Itatc; therefore be it resolved^that this convention endorse the^Montana News, and rail upon all^the comrades of the state to support^the News to the bestof their ability.
Reportof committee concurred
in.
Nominationsfor'Lieutenant Gov^ernor.
\inlitose nominates Comrade
Frinke.Mr. Walsh moves that inas^^much as Mr. Frinke was one of the^nominees for Governor and was not^elected, that his choice as Lieuten-^and Governor be made unanimous.^Seconded, and carried.
Nominationsfor Congressman.
T.D. Caulfield nominates Walsh^of Lewistown.
Olsonnominates Sproule of Mel^en a.
Sproule:^I was candidate for^this honor in 1902, mil would there^^fore like to resign in favor of Com^^rade Walsh, and I move that the^nomination be made unanimous by^this convention. Carried.
Nominationsfor Secretary of^State:
Sproule nominates Comrade
Lynch.
Ambrosenominates Sproule.^Sproule resigns, and the nomination^of Lynch is made unanimous.
AttorneyGeneral.
Mr.Parr: I move that we pass^this. Carried.
Supt.of Public Instruction:
Walsh:^I have not yet placed^anyone in nomination. I wish to^place one, who will assist us to a^great extent in bringing our ticket^prominently before the public of^Montana. I am just going to say in^brief that I want to nominate as su^^perintendent of public instruction^for Montana, Mrs. R. Anna Ger^^man of butte.^ .
Sproule;^I move that the nom^^ination be declared the unanimous^choice of this convention, as candi^^date for the office of superintendent^of public instruction. Carried.
StateAuditor:
Sproulenominates Woolridge.
Pureednominates Robert Hendry.
Someobjection being made to^there being three nominees from^Fergus county. Comrade Walsh^offers to withdraw in favor of the^other two.
Hendry:^l could not think for^a moment of permitting Comrade^Walsh to withdraw in my favor, or^Comrade Lynch either. We may^not have so many Socialists in Fer^^gus ci unty. and it may be possible^that they want some of us to allow^our names to be used for county^offices, and I would therefore like^to have my name withdrawn.
Lynch:^I think I would rather^have my name withdrawn in favor^of the two comrades in question,^and feel that 1 could better afford^to sacrifice myself.
Walsh:^ There will be no fight^in Fergus countv with us. I would^nominate from Helena, Win. Phelps^for this position.
Hcrd-ymoves that the nomina^^tion of Phelps be made unanimous.^Cariied.
StateTreasurer:
Pureednominates Olson of Great^Falls.
S,roule moved that nomination^be made the unanimous choice of^the convention. Carried.
ChiefJustice:
Sproul' i nominate for this^office, Comrade Parr.
Parr:^I do not feel that it is in^^cumbent upon me at this time to ac^^cept the nomination at this conven^^tion, although I appreciate the^honor, and I think it advisable to^put some other party in this office^or else pass it. 1 therefore resign.
Mickey:' i believe Comrade^Parr is the one man who can put up^a sucivsslul fight in Silver How^county, and we cannot spare him^from the Countv.
Sproule:^You remember that^at the Itozeman convention, we^were censured for putting up for^this position a man who was not^considered qualified. Now, we^have a man we arc not ashamed of,^aud we would like to see him run^for that office; one who is legally^QflaliAad for if and we would like^this convention to express itself as |^having confidenc e in our esteemed^comrade, and we would like to show^the people that we are ready at all^times to put up such a man.
Walsh:^ The reason I did notj^decline at the tin e i was nominated^was because a So-ialist has no right^to decline. Every Socialist of this^state is a servant f the party, and^when we call you to duty, it is your^duty to come, and for my part, I^absolutely oppose the propositi t)^0| considering the resignation of^Comrade Parrs. He is the right
manfor this office.
Woolridge:^I wish to say that^it is a great weakness in the Social-1^ist ticket to not have a man it would^do to elect, and unfortunately the^party is weak in the legal talent at^present, for the lawyers are a little^shy of connecting with a new move^^ment. I shall be very disapointed^if Comrade Parr refuses to accept^the nomination, as we have no other^man so well qualified to fill that par^^ticular otlice.
Holden:^In Hutte, we have^three judges and a county attorney^to elect. We made our call for the^County Convention to elect dele^^gates to the state convention. We^could at that time, and it was in^^tended, to elect our county ticket.^Had we nominated our county tick^^et at that time, we should have taken^all the available candidates in our^local to fill those offices effectually.^We deferred action until the first of^June. They claimed that we had^sold out, as far as that is concerned.^We want to go before the public in^Silver bow countv with a full and^good ticket this coming fall, and we^have felt as though we have prior^claims upon Comrade I'arr than this^convention, and had we thought^you were going to steal him from^us, we would not have allowed him^to come here. There will be a com^mittee appointed here to look after^the state organization and fill va^^cancies in the future, and there will^be others to fill it without Comrade^Parr, and we hope you will not in^sist in stealing him from us.
Hickeynominated Comrade Geo.^Kohl.
Mcllugh:^I do not agree with^the speaker that the Local should^have first pick. I claim that the^national should come first. I don't^think Terre Haute would have the^right to say they needed Debs for^constable. I believe it is his duty,^as with an army man to go w here^the army calls him, and I am cer^^tainly not in favor of allow ing Com^^rade Parr to resign. I think it is^his duty to accept this nomination.
Dr.(.'alder: ^During the last^election, certain of the Socialists^thought .hat as they had a vote for^Judge, they would better not lose it,^and consequently they went and^voted for Judge McClernan. I had^had some talk with the Judge about^Socialism and he seemed rather fa^^vorable to it, so I went one day and^asked him to subscribe forthe Appeal^t ^ Reason. W hen I wanted to put^him down for it, he said: 'l will^not play the hypocrite any longer.^This is a renegade movement,' and^he would not subscribe ^ .r it We^haven't a friend in one judge in^butte, and therefore we want Com^rade Parr.
Sproule:^if the com ade wou d^only forget selfishness and look to^he cause and the wilt.ire of the^cause, Gentlemen, perhaps it would^be a little better. Now, I obiect in^the most serious way to your bring^^ing a gattling gun to sla\ .ill our^enemies, and then want to take it^back with urn. We want to use the^very best timber in the country, and^if there are any left over, let tha lo^ als^use them up. Unless our esteemed^Comrade i'arr has private motives,^or better ones than already given. i^object to having him with Ira*. We^want to put on the state ticket a^man who is competent and qualified.^We want a man who is a lawyer,^a:id we have one here who is a gat^^tling gun too.
Walsh:^If there is a prospect^of Comrade Parr being elected in^It ate if put on the local ticket, it^might not be the best thing for the^Socialist cause in the state of Mon^^tana, [f this man should be placed^on the state ticket and a man plac^^ed on the ticket in Hutte who is^not elected, it might show us the^real strength of the cause 111 that^city. When we get Socialism, we^will not have lawyers sitting on the^Supreme bench, poling over the^musty pages of the records of de^^cisions to deride v hat kind of law^we want. We have to have lawyers^now, and thi* convention should se^^lect Comrade I'arr regardless of the^butte local trouble.
