REPUBLICAN, RUNNING As
FUSION CANDIDATE.
SEAT MAY REMAIN VACANT
Governor Phillip Announces That He
VIII Not Call Another Ses-
sion If Seat Is Refused
to Berger.

| Milwaukee.-Victor L. Berger. So
dalist, was reelected to Congress from
the Fifth Wisconsin district. He de-
feated Henry HI. Bodenstab, Republic
can. running as fusion candidate, by
1906 votes.
Bergers total was 24,367 and Boden-
stabs 1861. The returns indicate
that approximately 5000 voters did not
10 to the polls. The total registration
in the district was about $4,000 voters
Should the House of Representa-
tives again refuse to seat Berger
there will be vacant chair as far as
the Fifth Wisconsin district is con-
cerned until the regular election in
1920, as Governor E. L. Phillip an
nounced he would not call another spe-
cial election.
II do not believe in spending any
more of the peoples money in that
way" he said.
Berger made the following state
ment:
While my election may undoubted-
ly be characterized as nothing short
of a revolutionary act, in view of OPP
position by the entire capitalist class,
not only of Milwaukee and Wisconsin,
but of the country, yet it cannot ex-
actly be called victory of the So
cialist party. The Socialist party SIM
ply took the lead and furnished the
advance guard and foremost cham
pions. AS a matter of fact, my re-
election is simply the first sign of
the reawakening of genuine democ-
racy in this country since the days of
the struggle for the emancipation of
the black race
Il don't know whether the House
will seat me, and I care little, If only
the continued fight for my seat will
furnish the occasion to awaken COM
mon people of the United States, es-
pecially the working class, TO a realiza-
ton Of the great dangers belize us and
the immense duty that we must full
fill If modern civilization is to pro-
gress or even to survive.
"But as to the voters of the Fifth
district, / can only say: Well done.
The eyes of the world are upon you.
You have INDICATED one of the basic

immediately after enactment by con-

the properties.

1t was explained by Mr.. Burleson
that no legislation was necessary in
the case of the cable company prop

cables and other circumstances arising
from transition to peace basis, Mr.
Burleson said, had resulted in his rec

In the matter of land service, how.

peace, the postmaster generals state
ment created unusual interest in some
quarters
Postoffice department officials who
have aided in control of the companies
have said that few of them could
weather the financial storm If the
properties were turned back without
remedial legislation. Some officials
said that while the properties must
be returned in the same physical con-
dition In which they were taken over,
to do this now, without added revenue
to meet wage demands and increased
cost of operation, would wreck the
entire industry.

OPPOSES ARTICLE 10
Senator Cummins Considers Re-
vised Covenant Faulty.
iowan Declares That Two of His
Three Main Objections Have
Been Removed.

Des Moines, Iowa, April 30.-Ac.
cording to United States Senator A. b
Cummins, the senate will not ratify
the new covenant or the League OF
Nations unless Article 10 is modified
The Iowa senator was one of the
signers of the senatorial round robin,
opposing the original draft of the
league covenant.
Article 10 is the section which re.
quires the nations signing the cove
nant to preserve the territorial in
tegrity and existing political indepen-
dence OF all members of the league.
Il have not had time to examine
the new covenant carefully" said Sen.
ator Cummins, but granting that the
press copy is correct, it is plain that
two objections | urged against the
original covenant have been removed
and third still remains.
THE covenant would be much
stronger with Article 10 removed.
People will not fight unless they be-
lieve they are justified in fighting. 1t
is unwise and futile to say in advance
that we will fight against external ag.
gression when the matter in dispute
is unknown"
