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.
Present High Prices to
Reduce Improvement Work
The city council yesterday adopt
ed a policy against awarding further
contracts this season for public im
provements, excepting for work on
which contractors assure completion
this year. The city would be losing
money through entering into con
tracts at present high prices for
work which could not be perform
ed until next year, commissioners
assert.
