yellow not to care what happens In
some other part Of the nation SO long
as we are safe. =
1.-THE Germans had said over and
Iover again that 1t was " Americas
turn next. The German Kaiser had
tartly told the American Ambassador
but probably Cooper declined to take
the word Of an American Ambassador
against a German Kaiser. / say to
you that men Of patriotic spirit can
not take a chance Of letting men like
Cooper trick them out of the fruits of
the victory that the boys have won in
France. -
Senator Locknev declared that he
had formerly been one of the most ar
dent supporters Of Senator LaFollette.
That he had been known as Half
Breed. y ~ stood with LaFollette
then, but would be ashamed to be
known as standing with him now''
he declared
he spoke of Mr.. Cooper as Q charm
| ing gentleman but he declared that
charming gentlemen were not all
that was demanded today.
Henry Allen Cooper declared that
Germany was right he said. Has
he. ever said word to take that back
Not one. Cooper has not denied it
but instead he has built up a straw
man declaring that his loyalty has
been attacked. = 1T don It say he
has been personally disloyal but 7 do
say that his Judgment has been rot

Cooper and Escorting the President.
Lockney had considerable to say in
regard to the appointment Of Cooper on
Icommittees to receive the President
I Of the United States and various for
eign diplomats. "What the Sam Hill
has this to do with his fitness to re-
present the First District in the crisis
of 1.-THE nation declared the speaker.
!" The speaker Of the house under the
rules of the house would appoint a
yellow dog to such committees if
lis happened to be his turn to serve. =
| In speaking of Mr.. Cooper's claim
that he had supported measures for
the support Of the war, Lockney said,
can you imagine Henry Allen Cooper,
with his ear to che ground and perched
on the fence az he has always been
voting against anything that was popu-
lar. The real test of Cooper is what
he Is at heart. He told you in that
speech in Congress what he thought
Of the declaration Of war. He has not
said that he has changed his mind.
Not once has he said that we were
| right and the enemy was wrong. He
won t do it because he is going to get
every pro-German vote any how and he
II not going to do anything to lose
these votes. By his failure to speak
you must know that Cooper remains
the same.''
Supports Germany by Silence.
Senator Lockney declared that by
his silence Henry Allen Cooper had
given his approval to all the atrocities
which had been practiced by Germany
and after reciting the stories Of these
atrocities he shouted, I'm God S name
what does Henry Allen Cooper want
before he says his country Is cause is
just9'
The Senator spoke Of the fact that
Cooper s name had been connected with
letters of German propogandists as far
back as 1916 and that then these let
tiers had shown that Cooper, was to be
relied upon in Germany hour of need.
He spoke Of the fact that Cooper at
tended the Hearst banquet in New
York on the last Fourth of JULY
Every proGerman is going to vote
for Cooper he declared and it is not
to oppose them that Cooper is silent
now.
The Senator spoke of profteering and
declared that every man who was pro
iteer should be stood with his back
against the wall and shot, but he de-
clared that there were men who were
worse than profteers and that these
were the men who would traffic in the
votes OF. the people without admitting
their sacred duty. He spoke of the
kilograms Cooper had declared he had
received asking him to vote againt
the war resolution and he challenged
him to make public the names of the
men who had sent these MESSAGES.
Judge RAJ. Speaks.
Judge Joseph r. o., xson presided
at the meeting and before the address
}of Senator Lockney, Judge Randall
made short talk to the people. The
Judge was suffering severely from a
double fracture of his right arm but
he, declared that he could not lose this
chance TO speak to the people of Ke-
Inosha. He spoke strongly in favor of
the great issue, defeating the I'M
Iperial German Government and
pledged his support to every measure
