The report of the Campaign Com
mlttee was read next 1t was a very
elaborate document and an important
feature of 1t was the correspondence be-
tween the McGIynn Doody Committee
of twenty-five and the Executive Com
mttee of the Socialist Conference, whose
reply, published in our l. issue was
enthusiastically appau'od.
Delegate Hugo Vogt then presented
the list of candidates as proposed by the
Committee on Nominations, and printed
at the head of this report. He said that
unfortunately the party had no lawyH'e
among its members, "a delegate; II or
tunatelyrD who could be placed in Judi
| clary nominations; they had therefore
taken honest workingmen (Applause.)
Messrs. Jonas and DeLeon were nom
mated for the mayoralty, but de
cllned. Each nomination was received
with cheers and unanimously endorsed
Delabar then answered the repeated
calls Of the Convention with few time
ly remarks. 1t was not, he said, the
nomination, as such, that he was proud
of, but the fact that he had received it
from the Socialist Labor party. Many
may not now look upon this as a serious
movement, but the time must come
when success will crown our efforts. A
plain illustration of its progress was seen
here and to-day in the accession of the
Natlonalists to our ranks Though we
may not and do not, in fact. expect to
elect any of our candidates this move
ment will steadily advance, growing in
intensity and power until victory is
won.
Delegate Sanial said that this was the
best ticket that had ever been presented
to the voters of this city. 1t was
ticket of honest workingmen, pledged
to great principles, and no Doodle
party could place its like in the field.
II elected August DeIabar would prove
the best Mayor New York ever had.
He would see to it that the streets of the
tenement house districts were kept as
clean as Fifth avenue; that proper school
accommodations were provided for the
one hundred thousand children who are
now growing in complete ignorance and |
wage slavery. Under his administration |
the compulsory education law would
not be farce and the children of tlt !
poor would no longer be used by eni-
ployers of labor, including such public
spirited" citizens as Joe Pulitzer and |
Dude Bennett, to compete with their
fathers and mothers for the privilege lof
eklng out miserable existence. The
police would no longer commit outrages
with impunity Honest people would I
receive adequate protection, and rascals
would be dealt with as they deserved.
1t was in the power of the workingmen
of New York to elect this ticket Every
man who belongs to an organization
represented in this Conference should goI
to work and canvass his election district
1t is by such work only that success is
possible, ard this work must be done as
if success was within our reach
Delegate Fl. Vogt spoke at length and
was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause, He laid great stress upon the
necessity of casting as large vote as
possible. The delegates should insist in
their respective trade unions upon laying
aside all other business for the next few
weeks and labor with the utmost energy
for the success of this ticket.
Delegates VIM. N. Reed and Charles
Sotheran also electrified the audience
with ringing speeches.
The Conference then went into exec.
utive session. The working of the Bal
lot Reform law was fully explained to
the delegates and organizers of the vari.
Gus districts
The Campaign Committee was also
to challenge to public debates
the candidates of the old parties; also
Chauncey M. Depew, as the special
champion OF monopoly and plutocracy.
The Committee was further instructed

early day
The Convention then adjourned to
