BERGER AGAIN
CANDIDATE
Fifth District Of Wisconsin
Looked Upon to Support
Him.

Milwaukee. Wis. Dec. 17.--victor
L Berger is the issue in the special
election called for Dec. 10 in the
Fifth congressional district of Wis
consin. The socialist leader, who was
elected to the present congress but
denied his seat following his convic-
ton for violation of the espionage act,
is again the nominee Of his party. He
rs opposed by Henry Fl. Bodenstab. q
republican, whose candidacy is back
ed also by the democratic organize
ton and a Local society known as
Tho Good Government League"
The Fifth district is looked upon as
the socialist stronghold in Wisconsin.
Berger carried IL several years ago
when he was elected to congress for
the first time. and again at the regu-
lar election in November. 1918. At
the latter time he had plurality of
5000 votes polling 1920 against
12.450 for Carney, democrat, and 1o.-
instituted the contest which resulted
| in Berger's loss of his seat.
Berger was tho unanimous choice
OF a mass meeting called hurriedly
because of lack of time for taking the
usual party referendum. The Berger
meeting approved his every act,
word and writing" The platform on
which Berger seeks reelection reit-
crates many of the socialist party
hibition. against "the -impertinent
presumption of any clique or party
in the house of Representatives to die
tate whom the district is to elect as
its representative" and against "med-
ding in the internal affairs of any
foreign country--Russia, Germany
and Mexico"
Bodenstab's candidacy was the out.
growth Of conference between rep.
democratic county committees and q
delegation from the Good Govern.
ment league.
Bodenstab also has announced that
he. is against prohibition. The nub ot
his platform is the declaration "te
keep inviolate the fundamental prime.
iples of our government and stanC
opposed to every attempt to Bergerize
and Bolshevize this country"
Prior to the primary election, the
socialists were more active than The
fusionists at least with regard to the
holding of meetings. Berger was quot.
ed in one of his speeches as having
said that he hoped the soldiers woult
trefuse to take the place of striking
coal miners and declared that the
former German emperor would. no
use regular troops 10 lntlnldaCf

FOR TAX CUT

Bismarck, n. D., Dec 17.-George
r. Wallace. state tax commissioner.
today advised county auditors and
county trcasurers to reduce by 25 per
cent the levy previously made for the
state general fund.
Mr.. Wallace advises that this step
is taken under the provisions of a
law passed by the legislature during
the recent special session, when he
says, appropriations were reduced
sufficient to permit a reduction in the
general state tax.
Under the instructions Wallace
gives to the county tax collection Off
cials, they are advised of the deduc-
ton the :5 per cent at the time the
taxes are paid. or in the event that
they already have been paid, to remit
to the taxpayer the amount he has
overpaid,
