As the kangaroos were leaving the
hall, Daniel De Leon, the demi-god of
the run1p faction, entered the hall dra-
matically and was greeted with cheers
by his supporters. Daniel smiled a sar-
donic smile. There was a merry sug-
gestion of "Hai hal here's where / tri-
umph," in his eye
With things in this chaotic state, ad,
journment was taken for dinner. The
convention reassembled at $50 O'clock
and without flourish of trumpets and
comparative peace, nominated the fol-
lowing state ticket:
Governor-George r. Peare of Lynn:
lieutenant governor, James F. Stevens
Of Boston; secretary of state, Frank
Mcdonald of Stoneham; treasurer and
receiver general, Frederick Nagler of
Springfield; auditor, Frank Albin Fors-
strom of Worcester; attorney general,
Walter p. j. Skahan of New Bedford.
The state committee was instructed
to draw up plans and define tactics for
the holding of caucuses for the coming
municipal convention. A motion offered
by Comrade Kersting of Springfield
that the state committee recommend to
town and city committees the advisa-
bility of assessing every successful cam
didate for a place on such committees
was lost, as savoring too much Of COR
ruption.
Chairman Maloney took advantage of
lull in the proceedings to make a
speech in eulogy of Comrade Frank
Carter of Lynn, who is said to be ia
tally i'll. Tickets for a benefit were dis
tributed and a resolution Of sympathy
offered by Mr.. Goldstein of Boston was
unanimously carried.
Chairman Maloney as state organizer

scathingly denounced Mayor Chase and
Representative Carey Of Haverhill, and
other members of the social democracy.
He charged that the social democracy
deliberately sends ruff1ans to break up
socialist labor party meetings in Haver-
hill
David Goldstein made long speech
in favor not Of the state buying the
Boston & Albany road, but coniscating
1t as property of all the people, without
cent of compensation to the directors
or stockholders Of the road. This idea
took we'll
Mrs. Avery followed in a speech, in
which she made a vague proposition
that Cape Cod be confiscated, although
why, she did not make clear She ar
gued cutting off the heads and stuffing
the mouths Of all opponents. This was
probably meant in figurative and not
a sanguinary, French revolution sense.
There was further debate in which
Comrade Goldstein got the free text
book law and the textile law beautiful
ly mixed, and he gallantly called Mrs.
Avery down for correcting him
A long resolution to have legislative
committee, with headquarters in Bos-
ton, look after Legislation and take ad
vantage Of opportunities for socialist
propaganda by means Of petitions and
arguments before Beacon hill commit
tees, was lost.
The socialist trade and labor alliance
was Endorsed.
There was hot debate when the
platform came UP for adoption. It was
charged that 1t was no platform al ali.
not having any planks, and this was
true, for after reaffirming allegiance 10
