COOPER TELLS WIHY [E ENTERED RACE Also Outlines His Differences with (governor Manning. Says Ho Would Not Will on the governor's Mistakes. Solicitor II. A. Cooper, candidate, recently gave out the following state ment to the press: it has been stated in some of the newspapers published in the State that I said at Ilamberg that in case 1" had beln governor I would have acted as the present governor has with reference to the iuestions which he propounded to me. The papers do not undertake to publish Just what I said. In order that the public may have an opportunity of Judging for themselves as to the proper construction to put upon my remarks, the following is substantial ly what 1 said at the llamberg meet ing: "It has been my purpose to make this race without criticising the pub lie or private record of any competit or of mine, because if I amt elected to the otilee I want to be able to say that I did not try to win votes on ac count of the mistakes or shortcomings of others. lBut Governor .Manning has seen fit to ask me1 certain specill ic questions and insists that I shall answer them. Reason for Entering Itace. 111 first question is "Vhy is Mr. Cooper in this race trying to defeat Ie, when he made the race two years ago on practically the same platform that I did?" Now, say fel low-citizens, this is a free country, and any person who is qualified, ac cording to the rules of the democratic party, has the right to offer his services for any office. I might ask tile same <Iuestion of any candidate in this campaign. For instance, why is Mr. )ove running for secretary of State? Why is Mr, Fant in tle race for railroad comminissioner? Why does )r. .11. Ilack offer for the state senate from llamberg couinty? Who gave .th1enu il lnissiont to run1 for these ofilces? The question answers Itseift. When any man holding pub - lie ollice dares to -tuestion the right of another to offer against hifliv and ithereby asserts title to the ollier, It is liine for some one to oppose hitn. The offlie belongs to tho people, and it. is for 11e1n to say who shall servc themn. The governorl asks again, what I wVold hatve done wVith reference to the (n11foreelneInt of law iln Charleston. Two years ago I .Mated ont (Very sitlml)p ill. Soutihg ('aroltia. a11d4 have 'epealedl again this year, that if nie-.. led governor I will enforce the Iaw in every secion of South C(arolina, frot the mountains: to the sea. If a jury, after a fair and lilirlial trial, finds that one of your citizelns has Violated the law, 1 will never disturb that finding unless 1 am1 con Vineed tihat the verdict. is wrong. The pardoning power was not given to the governor to enable himl to reward his friends or punish his enemies, but for the purpose of orrectling i'iusitlon 1n Chaiieillhs. Thel, (Governor asks also if I tfavorl tions5.

Froml what I kniow of Drt. Williams, ho is an excellent genltie mlan anld a sliendid physician, andi I hlave no doubit, is doing a good wor'k for -the state. But if I had been the governor and had believed that Dr'. Williams was the only man in the state who could nrnaerl, disc..r the duties of this position, I would have appealed to tis platiotisin-1 would have said to him, "The State of South 'Carolina needs your ser vices." I would not have supple lented his salary had I been ten tines a inillionaire, for the reason that the law of tlie State does not. hermit any ollicer o' aiy person ho(ld ing a 1iosition in any of the public inl .tituitins to accept or receive troin any source whatsoever aIny compen aiiot o1ier t than that provided by kew, and at the next session of the gieirat assembly the matter could have been submniltted to t hem with such reconunendations as the gov ernor thought proper to make. lu mia-i uce Act, Unwise. The governor asks again, if I would have signed the insurance bill. I have already stated lily position in refer ence to this matter. I think the in surance legislation was unwise. I have no doubt the members of the general assembly were honestly endeavoring to give us better insurance protection at a lower rate. Th fact is, we have poorer protectlon, at a higierc rate. If I had been governor 1 should have lendeavored before the passage of the bill to show the legislature that. some of its provisions were uinwise. 1 (10 not think, however, that. the veto power was given the governor to be used in an arbitrary manner, and if the gen eral assembly, after a full and fair consideration, should pass a bill, I do not think the governor should veto it unless he is convinced that it will work irreparable injury or that it violates the constitution. I am asked again If I favor the tax cotnlission. If the governor had examined the records of the legisla ture during the past II years, he would have found that, when a nem ber of the lower house of the general assembly, I supported the proposition looking to Ilie sreatio not i Columlis sioun to equaitia.e the assesslment of property lo' taxation. 1 do not. re tiiinlemb r thle details 01 Ihat bill, htt I believe ill att (ilial and fair ass: s 11('n1 of' all prope(rty.
