COOPER FOR SPEAKER

The biennial rumor comes from Washington
that Henry Allen Cooper, member of Congress
for the First Wisconsin District, is being con-
sidered as a candidate to be Speaker of the
House.
It is probable that Mr.. Cooper is being,
brought out as stalking horse" by certain
so-callsd Progressive" elements, with a view
of trying it on rather than with view of max
ing the First District Congressman speaker Of
the House. Mr. Cooper has been utilized in
up the rule of Speaker Joseph Cannon, and to
the men who objected to the Cannon leadership
he proved valuable asset.
= A lot of people in the First Wisconsin district
would like to see Mr.. Cooper Speaker of the
House. of Representatives. 1t would be fitting
rounding out of long period of years given to
the public service and there is no doubt but
that as Speaker of the House Mr.. Cooper would
prove a dignified leader of great congress
sional body. Few people will question his capa-
bilities His long service in the lower house
has certainly made him past master OF the
art of being congressman, and his wide knoWl-
edge Of the shortcomings and the long goings
of the members of Congress should make him
a pretty good judge Of the men who would serve
under his gavel
While Mr.. Cooper has been flirting extern
sively with the so-called new bloc" in Con-
gress, we are not inclined to think that he would
be able to regulate all of his movements by the
rather narrow confines of the program laid
down by Senator La Toilette and his associates
Mr.. Cooper was Republican leader before SEN
ator LaFollette and these other 'Progressives"
came into power, and he is pretty well grounded
in the old-fashioned beliefs of the Republican
party. He has been progressive in a lot of
things, but he has not been "too burned pro-
gressive, and training and habit brings his fire.
quent reversal to the form he showed when he
was one of the best of the Administration lead
ers. He was a close friend of Roosevelt and
Mckinley, and if he should, by some hook or
crook, be named speaker, it is certain that force
of habit would carry aim back to those basic
principles which he has followed so long.
If any man is to be selected as speaker from
the ranks of the so-caed "neW bloc" Mr..
Cooper should be the first man for considera-
ton. Certainly, in the matter of intelligent
and patriotic leadership he is easily the peer of
the Wisconsin congressional members.
The great army of friends of Mr.. Cooper in
this section of the country have faithin Cooper
as leader, and the elevation of him to the high
plane of speaker would be we'll received. A
careful canvass of the men who have been
aligned with the so-called progressive cause
leads us to believe that not one of them would
be more acceptable to rank and file Of the Re-
publican party than Mr.. Cooper.
