Waukesha Senator in Bril-
liant Address Says Voters
Can Not Afford to Take
Chances Now.
NO DENIAL OF old STAND
Declares That Cooper Is Declining to
Come out for His Country Because
He raars to Lose Pro- German Votes
Judge Randall Speaker.

"Here is the real issue of this
campaign: Our boys, your boys from
Kenosha county, our boys from Wau-
kesha county are over in France -
You have seen them march proudly
away smiling you have felt the pull
at the heart strings as they went away
and you have felt the sting of the hard
ships of their going. They have gone
for you and you can It have any one
trick them out Of the fruits of their
victory"
"slowly but surely they are push
ing the Huns back and back-pushing
the Huns out of France and they are
going to push them to the Rhine and
over the Rhine. Before that time
Germany is going to squeal for peace
squeal like pig, caught under wire
fence. Germany is going to say: We
will restore Belgium, we will get out
of France, we viii pay an indemnity,
we viii eede Alasce and Lorraine back
to France, we will restore Servia and
Montenegro, we win fix up Greece, we
will do anything and everything on
the Western front-If'' and the "ifo
and "but" in the proposal of Ger
many are going to be the five great
est letters ever formed into words.
They are going to say, "We win do
anything on the Western front if you
will let us keep the strangle hold on
Russia and the East"
eff we are going to let Prussian
militariasm get out without knock
out blow and give the Military party
twenty five years in which to organize
Russia they will go at it again and the
sons Of your children today will have
to make these sacrifices all over again
twenty years from now. Germany,
unless crushed now is going to jump
again at the throat of world unpre-
pared"
GIVE must have a man in Congress
who will tell Congress that a peace
must be made which will be peace
which will for ever make it impossible
for German militaryiasm to rise again.
When that peace is made you can not
trust Henry Allen Cooper to have
part in it. It isn't fair to presume
that he is going to do any different than
he has done in the past. You can It
take chance of letting Germany get
up and go at them again. This war
either means that we must crush Prus-
sianism and all it stands for or it.
means nothing"
State Senator Henry Lockney of
WaulSesha made wonderful appeal to
the people Of Kenosha and the first
District on Tuesday evening when he
spoke under the auspices Of the Ke-
nosha Randall for Congress Club at
Market Square. He did not mince
words, he did not hesitate to call a
spade a spade and he numerically
hayed Congressman Cooper for what he
declared was his "rotten Judgment
Pleads for Support of Nation.
In an address filed with patriotic
support of the nation and its cause
Senator Lockney declared that Con-
gresham Cooper had failed utterly to
represent the sentiment of the First
Wisconsin District. He declared that
he had stood not with the nation but
against the nation s cause. He re-
viewed his entire career in congress as
it related to the great war and declared
that any review of that career would
leave no doubt in the minds Of loyal
citizens that Cooper could not be
trusted to represent their sentiment.
"'Henry Allen Cooper" he declared,
"has never once in his speeches in
the district declared that our nation
was right and Germany was wrong"
You cam take any chance on a
man who takes no chance to stand for
America"
Cooper Makes no Denials.
Lockney in impassioned language de-
clared that Mr.. Cooper in his speeches
in the First Wisconsin District hat
declined to take any decided stand on
the righteousness of Americas cause
on account of the fact that he feared
