Americanism and patriotism are sec
ond to none.

hereby most vigorously protest the
seating of Victor L. Berger as a dele
gate to the sixty-fourth annual con-

structs its delegate to use all hon.
orable means at his command to have
said Berger unseated.
Typographical Union No. 2S3
urges upon every subordinate union
to pass similar resolutions to be for
warded to the l. T. U. executive coun-
ell, requesting the council to assist
/ in having withheld from Victor L.
Berger a seat in the convention"
