LEGION DEMANDS
BERGER DEPORTED
Convention Prepares to Elect
Officers as Session Ends
Tonight.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 12.-The Amer
can Legion prepared today for a final
attack upon the business of the or
ganization. The convention will end
tonight.
Election of officers and a number of
important resolutions are to be acted
upop today.
The legion today stood pledged to
be non-politicaE permitting no legion
ofncer OF any rank to hold salaried
elective office or to involve the legion
in politics.
1t stood for universal military train
ing with distinction against COM
pulsory military service in times of
peace. The training would not be un-
der the General Staff. A large stand
ing army was denounced as undemo-
cratic.
The legion unanimously voted to de-
mand that Federal authorities take
steps to cancel the citizenship of Vic
tor Berger, of Milwaukee, and to de-
port him. Congress was asked to in
vestigate the record of Congressman
Voigt OF Wisconsin, for having sus-
tanned Berger.
The election Of officers was to bring
into fun play the latent politics of the
convention. There were dark horses
by the corralful to combat with
Franklin D'olier, Pennsylvania, for
the honor.
A feeling that officers shall not
dominate the legion made II possible
