J COOPER TO VOTE FOR SUMTER MAN Former Candidate for Governor Explains Position?Ballot For His State?Thinks Manning Can Serve South Carolina Better Than Richards Can. Laurens, Aug. 110?Robert A. Cooper, accompanied by his little daughter, left this afternoon for the mountains of North Carojlna, where he will spend a few (lays resting after the strenuous ' campaign through which he has just passed. Mr. Cooler was asked last night by a representative of the press if he caredLfo make a statement in reference to the recent election and replied as' follows: "I am deeply grateful to the people of the State for the magnificent vote given me in the first primary. The support given me in my own'county and the other counties of the Piedmont section where I am best known is amply sufficient to take - the sting and bitterness out of my defeat. I cannot fully express my gratitude to the thousands of friends who rallied so nobly and unselfishly to me, but 1 shall endeavor to so act in the future as to show them that their confidence was not misplaced." Do you propose to take any part in the contest between Messrs. Manning and Richards, Mr. Cooper was asked. "I shall cast my vote for Richard I. Manning and do what I can to promote his election." he replied. Continuing, Mr. Cooper said: " I believe Mr. Manning is in a position to better serve the State than is Mr. Richards. "My slogan throughout the campaign was: 'Vote for your State' and I shall follow the advice given to others. "I do not for a moment think that I could deliver the vote cast for me to any other candidate, and I have no disposition to do so, but if 1 should at this time refrain from stating my position I would be misunderstood, and I make this statement in order that there shall he no doubt now or hereafter as to where I stand." Of course there was gr#at disappointment in Laurens when it became Lnown that Mr. Cooper had been dcKlirred from making the second race governor, but all have ioined in ^A|gratulating him on the magnifil^^^vote he received from all parts State. He has been overwhelm^H^L'h telegrams and letters from throughout the State express^H^^^pet and at the same time offer^^H^^rratulations on his manly and great vote for the |^^^^^^vice in the State. ^^^^^Lvrolina done with disease. a prospect an early baleful the has scandal, a g^aowj^nu^SoutnTJaronmnust! as the chief demagogue of a prol I brood that has been saddled upon L commonwealth since days of Har ton and Butler.
