ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL
 MEETING ON SUNDAY
Public Invited to Exercises in Honor of Great
 American

An interesting and complete pro- gram is being prepared by the North Canaan Roosevelt Memorial Associa- , tion to commemorate the birthday of Theodore Roosevelt.
 "The spirit of Roosevelt truly lives" is true in North Canaan. Mem bers of the committee report the most ardent response to their re- quests to Americans to become mem bers of the Association. In these trying days of reconstruction, the best of ones Americanism is gladly welcomed by all, man, woman or child.
 Supervisor of Schools Teague re- ports that the school children respond 100 pct. American to the call of the Association.
 The program for the Sunday night memorial meeting will include several soloists, talks by the clergy, flag exercises By the World War veterans, oration by Wm. A. Prem dergast, patriotic songs and hymns.
 All are requested to bring their patriotic song leaflets used during :, the Liberty Loan Drives.
 ; Saturday, October 18th will be Roosevelt Memorial Field Day. Teams will visit all parts of the town to en- roll members in the Association and explain it's purposes. The committee urges all to be present at the memorial meeting Sunday night, come early, and bring your Ameri- can flags with you.
 The objects of the Roosevelt Me .morial Association, to be carried out with the cooperation of it's members and with the funds subscribed by them, were stated by the Hon. Elihu Root, member of the national execu- tive committee of the association, as follows:
 /, "The purposes to which the money obtained from membership fees and subscriptions is to be applied have been definitely determined by the national committee of the Roosevelt Memorial Association. The commit tee resolved upon three definite ob- jects. They are: '' 58| ', ..~. '..~-.~r-
 'sFirst, to improve the land that has been given, at Oyster Bay for Roosevelt Memorial Park.
 "Second, to erect a monumental memorial in Washington which will rank with the Washington monument and the Lincoln memorial. The form which this memorial will take can not be now determined; this must rest largely with the architects and sculptors, who will be called upon to design the most appropriate and dig nifed monument that can be built and with the National Fine Arts Commission that under the law must approve the design and determine it's site.
 ''Third, the establishment of a Roosevelt society or foundation to carry on Colonel Roosevelt's spirit of Americanism and perpetuate and keep alive the uncompromising pa triotism of which he was so essential ly the exponent"

New Game Laws

Under the 1919 laws, skunks can not be trapped before November first. This may be news to some who have not seen a copy of the new laws.

Socialist Defeats Boden-

for Congress, in the
Fifth Wisconsin District
Special Correspondence

Specadt CORES spOndcnce
MILWAUKEE,, Dec. 19.-Thc Fifth
Congressional District to-day re-
elected Victor L. Berger, Socialist. to
the seat denied him last fall by the
House of Representatives on the
grounds that he had given aid and
comfort to the enemy. The Socialist
candidate received 24,367 votes against
1861 for Henry H. Bodenstab, the
Fusionist candidate, or majority of
4,8O6. These complete unofficial re-
turns were announced at 1880 O'Clock
tonight.
Long lines Of voters were still wait
ing to cast their ballots when the polls
closed at o'clock. Bergcrs support
ors had been early at the polls, and
most of those turned away tonight
were belated Democrats and Republi-
cans who had been stirred up by an
eleventh. hour campaign to swing the
"stay-at- home" vote against the Social
ist.
"Victcry for Democracy" Says Berger
Berger boasted this afternoon he
would win by a majority of 10000.
Later tonight, when the final results
were announced, he made this state
ment:
While my election may undoubtedly
be characterized as nothing short of q
revolutionary act in view Of opposition
by tfe entire capitalist class, not only
Of Milwaukee and Wisconsin but of
the country, yet it cannot exactly be
called a victory Of the Socialist party.
"The Socialist party simply took the
lead and furnished the advance guard
and foremost champions.
AS matter. Of fact, my reelection
is simply the first sigr OF the reawak-
ening of genuine democracy in this
country since the days Of the struggle
for the emancipation of the black race.
will seat me at all and care little, if
only the continued fight for my seat
will furnish the occasion to awaken
the common people of the United
States, especially the working class, to
realization OF the great dangers be-
fore us and the immense duties that
we must fulfill if modern civilization is
to progress or even to survive.
"But as to the voters of the Fifth
District | can only say: We'll done. The
eyes Of the world are upou you. You
have vindicatcd one of the basic prin-
ciples Of modern democracy -represcn-
tstlVc government.
"Voters Misled," Says Bodenstab
MIR. Bodenstab in statement said {:
81 am indeed grateful to my many
supporters We put up the best fight
we knew how for worthy cause and
! feel that the ma jorty of the voters
have been misled by false propa-
ganda.
81 am ready to continue in the fight
to rid the community of these foreigl.
agitators and Bolshcviki adhercnts
and | call upon the good, loyal people
of Milwaukee to remain stcadfast in
their faith in their country and its
institutions"
Berger's victory is attributed to the
fact that Bodenstab was not accepta-
Bile to the laborng classes who charged
him with working against their bills
when he was in the State Senate and
that Berger made "ht" with his
campaign slogan Of "Al we got out of
the war was prohibition and the flu y
and other plays on popular feelings.
