Win the War.
'R. A. Cooper, candi(lato for go -
ernor was in the city yesterday to at
tend the State Democratic convention.
The county convention of faurens,
as an expression of its confidence,
unanimously elected Mr. Cooper as a
delegate to the state convention and
also passed a resolution Indorsing his
candidacy for governor.
When seen at the Jefferson hotel
Mr. Cooper talked freely of the po
litical situation. He has given very
little attention to political matters up
to this time having been until about
six weeks ago chairman of the local
board of Lanrens county and since
that tImhe he has been in eharge of the
field work of the third lilherty loan
campaign.
When asked if he eared to say
anything for publication. Nr. Cooper
replied: "f have been before the peo
ple of the state as candidate for gov
e(rinor in two 1reviou:s vam1ipaigns a(
I feel that they know my -Yeneral at.

to win office or promotion of any kind
by any other standard. I shall ask

"I shall not assume responsibility
nor claim credit for the acts of any
lierson neither shall I seek to profit
by tile shorteomiings or1 mistakes of
others. I am responsible for my own
conduiet. and If elected I shall not be
committed to ally policies, except
those which I honestly believe to be
for the best interest of the people of
the state."
"What in your opillioll, will be the
issues of the campaign?" Mr. Cooper
was asked.
"I have stated heretofore that the

preparation for the day of victory
and peace which we confidently ex
pect Our1 soldiers to win upon the f3eld

be broad enough to safeguard the so

and It must be strong enough to pre
pare them for the various and varied
problem to be solved.
'I belicie our compulsory attend

proper provisions for its enforcement

can not any more afford to neglect
this matter than we can afford to lose

For we feel with you 'tis well.
Thou are gone, but we shall vetr
Cherish thee in memory true,
Naught but faith In our Redeemer,
Can our fearful grief subdue.
Thou are gone, oh! how we miss yon
Life no longer can beguile,
But we hope to meet you yonder
In that happy afterwhile.
Father, In thy tender mercy.
Smile upon us5 from above;
Held our hearts' depressing sorrow.
With the greatness, of Thy love.
Thou are gone, our hiearts are achint.
Since we see no more thy facO:
Thoi are gone. we miss thy presence
In each, lone familiar place.
