Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 1g. (United
Press)-Will Victor Berger be re
elected to congress? This is the
question asked here today. The am
swer win interest the state and ma.
tion
Voters of the Fifth Wisconsin con
gressional district We're expressing
their choice at the polls today either
for Berger, who congress has de.
creed is unfit to sit therein, and
Henry R. Bodenstab, republican. up
on whom his party and the democrats
nave united under "One hundred per
cent Americanism' banner.
In the nominating primary held
December 8, Bergea was named by
the socialists and Bodenstab by the
fusiCnists. Berger was given 14,OO4
votes and Bodenstab 92S2. Berger's
opponents asserted the Urinary was
not re2l test and thnt the social
istls had made efforts to bring out
the whole Berger strength, while re
publicans and democrats had mot
been as active in the primary cam
paign
Congress barred Berger because
of his conviction under the espionage
hct. Gov e. L. Philhpp promptly
called a special election for today
TO fill his place. Berger equally
announced himself as a
for reelection on a plat
form i'm which he declared: 81 ann
pro-German, prO-France, pro-England
pro7Poland-in short am prolhu
manity." Berger stated he was anti
anti-proffiteer, anti-en-
tangling alliances and anti-Wilson's
"colusioh with profiteers i'm hurting
the nation into an unneces sary war"
Berger and his campaign mama
gers stumped the district, speaking
German as well as English and argu-
ing 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"
Opponents of Berger have been
equally busy. The Good Government
League and the American Legion
posts have waged a hot campaign.
The Loyalty Legion adopted resolu-
tions for Berger's deportation. The
fire has been concentrated on Ber-
gers hnti-wal stand, his writings
during the war, which resulted 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 bombarding Berger,
who, himself, a publisher, has re

The packers owe their escape from
prosecution to the governments de-
sire to bring down the cost of living,
according to officials of the depart
ment of Justice
Althouah the federal trade commits

to be that the packers "got off easy"
1t is considered that prosecution
meant certain victory for the gov
ernment with the breaking up Of the
entire meat combine and it's subsidia-
ries.
Sidestep Long Battles.
The position taken by the attor-
ney general lis that it would prove
better to accept compromise raIth-
er than to face court battles that
would run through the tribunals OF
the nl1tlon for several years.
All stock yards owned by the pack
ers will be sold under the approval
of United States court TO whoever
desires to purchase them
The packers will be enjoinsd for.
ever from engaging in the stock bus

business and all unrelated activities
under the arrangement announced
late today by Attorney General Pal.

The decree will prevent the use of
transportation facilities OF the pack

Government officials regard the de-
cree as SO complete that it will re-
move permanently any danger of the
