Cooper, one of the anti-Reform candidates for governor passed through Columbia this morning on hi? way to his home in Laurens. Mr. v.ooper nas oeen in Charleston for a conference with his supporters there. Asked as to the issues of the cam- j paign, Mr. Cooper said that "that i3 only one paramount fcsue until the j war is won?and that is for every man to bend every energy in the support j of the government. But at the same time." he said, "we must not overl >0/ j the fact that the war will end some t me and then will come up the real Vrcblem. Wo must prepare now tr j cc-rtserve the victory which we know rur soldiers u '1 win. and see t> it l that our sacrifices will not be in vain \ shall endeavor to urg^ i?i:on the people adoption of an odvational program which will meo' 1 h i demands o? th? presand prepare us to soive the prwhelms of the *ut.ne." Mr. -Cooper said that his duties gs a member of the local exemption board of Laurens county had been so ardii- : ous and continuous for the past fe>.v months that he had not had the time to tnintv nor raiK pontics. several days ago he was named as chairman of the central committee, composed cT one member from each congressional district, to put on the drive for the thifd Libqftv Loan. These new duties will take up a large amount of hh tinie. Mr. Cooper stated, however, that he inlands to keep in close touch with the political situation in th*3 state and and his friends intended to leave nothing undone in support of i his candidacy. He is confident of j winning, he stated. * n- n r?n r>afir?r?a1 if mr. \^uoi?ci ? jjuoitivjn uu uuuvu?i .v> sues is not different from that of th3 Reform candidates, tfrat it is the dutv of every man "to bend every energy in support of the government." Mr. Cooper, however, who was a candidate for erovernor in 1916 and was elimi nated' by the first primary, came out between the two primaries in a statement in support of the canduHToy of i Governor Manning, and his candidacy I this year is, therefore. hop"eTessly tingea wun *viaiiuiii?iaui. i tmm* Will (lain an Hour Every Day.
