sAAASN0
Washington, Sept. 17-Victor Berg
er, Milwaukee socialist, made his final
argument for a seat in the house be-
fore the house election committee late
yesterday. It was bitter denuncia-
ton of President Wilson, the league

courts that convicted him of violation
of the espionage act and the capital
lists. \
H declared the change of mind of
the president, which caused the Unit
ed States to declare war, twas brought
about by certain capitalistic interests"
sThe president thought it was his
duty to do as the capitalists wanted"
Berger declared. "'And we have gained
nothing by the war except cripples and
billions Of debts"
Berger declared he was convicted
by handpicked jury in Chicago, ap-
proved by the American Protective
league.
'The sentence Of 20 years that
Judge Lands gave me couldn't have
been given under the car or the
kaiser" Berger said.
