the law required the calling of an

after the seat has been declared va
cant. "If the house of representatives
refuses to seat me again, Governor
Philip will have to call another elec-
tiOn," Berger declared. "I'll read the
law to him." he promised his hearers.
After the special election on Decem-
Der 19 Governor Phillip announced
that no more elections would be called
in the Fifth district until next fall,
when members of the next congress
will be chosen. II do not think the law
another special election within a GER
tain time in case Berger is again re-
fused permission to sit in congress. AS
I understand it, that matter is entire
ly optional with the governor" Mr..
Philip said. He stated that he would
consult the statute covering special
elections Immediately on his return to
