It the conclusion of the reading Of the
report Mr. Alfred Myers moved for the
4 usual committee Of three to examine
and report On the account. to the associ-
I alton durm. its present session. which
motion prevailed. and the char ap-
! pointed as such committee, Messrs.
| Loud. Myers and !iuntley: whereupon
! Mr. Myers objected on the ground that
as chairman Of the executive committee
| of the association. he had been person
| ally connected with much Of the tinan
cial business done and covered by the
| report. and therefore should not pass
upon it. The chair concurred in the
| force of the objection and substituted
Jno T. Murphy for Mr.. Myers. on the
auditing committee.
Judge Strevell then suggested that
some of the standing committees to
| whom duties had been assigned at the
last annual meeting be called upon to
report On investigation it was found
that there was only one such commit
! tee the legislative and it was called
upon for report and responded through
its chairman Mr. Alfred Myers.
| Mr.. Myers said that he had not pre-
pared IA written report. but would report
orally. and did SO. to the effect that a
majority of the committee had been
! present at Helena during the whole of
the recent session of the legislature. and
! had watched the course of legislation:
that no attempt had been made by the
| legislature to make any changes in the
| laws etfecting the stock interests. save
in the matter of the estray law which
action the committee did not think it
wise to oppose: neither did the commit
tee deem it advisable to urge any new
legislation. Mr.. Myers referred briefly
to the bounty law as legislation desired
and needed by the stock interest. but
which. after getting safely through both
houses. the governor saw tit to veto.
On motion the report of the commit
tee on legislation was received. and the
committee discharged.
At this time. as the convention gave
signs of adiourning piecemeal and with
out the formalitv of IA motion for noon
recess. Mr. kohrs called the attention of
the chair to the expediency of now APP
pointing such COMMITTEES as had consid-
erable work to do. So that they could
prottably employ the hours OF what
promised to be long recess. Judge
Streyell concurred and asked that the
committee on round-ups be now ap-

usual course heretofore adopted in this
regard. of appointing chairman and
