Judge Randall for Congress.


district in Congress is not going out
of the way to revile an opponent just
because that fellow insisted on being
beat twice before he would stay beaten.
On the other hand the Judge is carry
ing on his campaign on the high mind
ed lines Of man who recognizes that
to represent the first district Of Wis
consin in Congress is great patriotic
duty. He stands today as he has stood
since the day he was called from his
practice of law to be the candidate of
Loyal Republicans, for the nation first
last and all times. The Judge has
given out an interview in the last few
days in which he outlines his idea of
what the duties of congressman are.
In this interview and it is worth the
reading Of every patriotic citizen of
the First District Judge Randall says:
"The war issue brought me into
the campaign" Judge Randall said
commenting on the conference which
nominated him. III was not seeking
the office because Of ambition to go
to congress, but after the conference,
considered it patriotic duty to make
the campaign.
"'Aside from winning the war, be-
live the most important thing before
the people is preparedness for peace,
and / do not believe we are doing
enough along that line. We must pro-
vide vocational education, for the men
who come home MANNED, so that we
can teach them to earn a livelihood
in the way in which they are best
fitted. Along with that comes the
preparation for the situation which
will arise when our great armies are
released. When these armies are dis
banded, it must be done in such a way
that the soldiers can be absorbed into
industrial life We cannot turn
100000 men loose all at once.
1T believe in universal military train
ing, not from the military side, but
for the training it gives boys and
Young men in proper living"
"In connection with war administers
ton, I am opposed to profteers, and
/ believe the most stringent laws
should be adopted against profteering.
AS long as we are drafting men to
fight, think we are justified in call
ing on the wealthy to carry the war
burden during the war, and after it.
The way to do this is by means of an
excess profits tEss No tax should be
SO heavy as % ssstroy industrial en-
terprise, because industry must have
Sts incentive. WhatI mean is that
the war should not be used as a cloak
for men to get rich.
"This war will draw labor and CAPT
tai closer than they have ever been.
One reason will be army associations
and 1 believe in that connection that
the selective service act is the most
democratizing agency we have ever
had. Labor organization will help.
Labor unions have already accom-
plished great deal for the men in
them and their families and they de-
serve to be sustained and encouraged.
Labor has been true to the country in
this crisis. Tt has gotten back of the
war in a wonderful way.
When I am elected, I shall GET back
of the president in all policies to win
the war, but when the war is over, Re
publican policies look pretty good to
me.'
The position of Judge Randall today
is the position that is being taken by
the men who oversubscribed the Liber-
ty Loan. 1t is the position that men
who put the nation above their own
petty advancement are taking. It is
the position that real red blooded
Americans must take 1t IS devoid of
q whine or plea for personal
agrandizement and it is the call to
patriotic men to give patriotic support
to their government. 1t is call which
should be responded to by giving Judge
Randall the largest majority ever given
candidate for congress in the first
Wisconsin district.
Judge Randall is not abusing any
one. He is not denying to any one the
right to run for public office if he sees
fit. He is not charging "little' in
terests or littel prejudices with try
ing to defeat him. He is simply tell
ing the people that if he is selected
by them for patriotic duty that he
is going to give the best there is in
him to meet this duty as man and
as patriot, He stands firmly where
he stood on the day he was selected
by his fellow men to be their candi-
date. He means every word that he
says and his splendid record for honor
and integrity Is the pledge that he will
make good every promise that he has
made.
Kenosha will honor herself by see
ing to il that Judge Randall is given
a great home endorsement at the com
ing election. He is our home town
candidate for congress and he stands
on a platform Which should make him
