DICTATORSHIP IS OPPOSED BY SOCIALIST PARTY - 1 " ' ' National Convention Votes Down International Declara tion of Principles as Sub mitted by Illinois Delegates. New York,. May It. The socialist party national convention this after noon went on record as opised to the dictatorship of the proletariat, in voting down an international so cialist declaration of principles sub mitted hy the delegation from Illi nois. The vote was 103 to 33. Victor L. Berger, unseated repre sentative in congress from Mil waukee, under a 20-ycar sentence for violation of the espionage act, urged adoption of the, Millquit platform unchanged. f He declared that for 40 years the socialist party had not talked -a language the people of the country could understand. "I don't believe in any dictator ship," Berger; said. "I don't believe in the dictatorship of Attorney Gen eral Palmer, Postmaster General Burleson or dictatorship of the pro letariat. "Why, outside of Milwaukee and New York's east side, nobody knows anything about a proletariat. May be the'Steel trust and Sammy Gom pers know about it, but the people in general haven't got any proletariat." Municipal Court Justice Panken of New York roused the convention to a demonstration when he de clared for the democratic "ballot revolution" such as, through election of President Lincoln and an abolition congress, had ended slavery in Arnerca,.,,' , , Cameron, IT. King of San Fran cisco, advocating the Hillquit tleclar'atibn, urfsfd the socialistic tac- tics of Victor Berger "and the party in Wisconsin betause of their demonstrated successes. vsjThe minority, in offering its sub stitute platform, "is trying to put eggs under a rooster," declared Os car Ameringer of Milwaukee, known as the Mark Twayi of the socialist movement, in opposing the Engdahl measure as "useless an! out of place." He received an ovation. Ameringer declared that if con gress continued to deny Berger his seat, the socialist party will elect him governor orWisconsin with a majority membership in both houses of the legislature. "The road prepared by the Illinois delegation leads only to the peni tentiary," he added.. "I am willing to go to the penitentiary if neces sary, but I believe I. can be of more use on the outside.
