Victory Was Complete.
(By United Press.)

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Dec. 20
There is nc question now but that
Victor L. Berger was the choice of
THE majority Of the voters in the fifth
congressional district. His defeat
Of the fusion candidate, Henry H,
Rodenstao by majority of 4,896 was
emphatic.
In the nominating primary held De-
cember s, Berger was named by the
socialists and Bodenstab by the fusi-
onists. berger was given 14,004
votes and Bodenstab 9,282. Berger's
opponents asserted the primary was
rot a real test and that the socialists
had made efforts to bring out the
whole Berger Strength, while republi-
cans ana democrats mad not been as
active in the primary campaign
Congress barred Berger because OF
his conviction under the espionage
act. Gov. E. l.. Philip promptly
called special election for to-day to
fill his pace. Berger equally prom
uty announced himself as a candidate
for reelection on platform ia
which he declared: 81 am prO-German,
pro-France, pro-England, pro-Poland
in short l am pro-humanity." Ber
ger starad he was anti-prohibition,
anti-profteer, anti-entangling all-
ances and anti-Wilson's "collusion
with prohteers in hurling the nation
into an unnecessary war"
Berger and his campaign managers
stumped the district, speaking Ger
man. as we'll as English and arguing
that "when a man is barred from a
body to which he has been elected by
the people he is the victim Of the
worst kind of autocracy."
Overcame All Opposition.
Opponents of Berger equally busy.
The Good Government league and the
American Legion posts have waged q
hot campaign. The Loyalty Legion
edopted resolutions for Berger's de-
portation. The fire has been concen-
trated on Berger's anti-war stand, his
writings during the war, which re-
suited in his conviction, having been
freely quoted.
Perhaps the hottest fight has been
waged in the newspapers, three af-
ternoon and one morning paper of the
city daily bcmbarding Berger, who
/ himself, a publisher, has replied in
kind in his own afternoon daily.
/ A year ago, when Berger was elct'
ed he received 1920 of the 41,O5S
votes cast. Joseph Carney, Demo
crat, obtained 12,455 and W. H. Stat
ford, Republican, who had represent
ed the district for seven terms, re
ceived 1O,67S. Berger served in con
eress in 1911-13, breaking in on Stat
ford's regime which began in 19OS-O5
