| The greatest diversion of the day
was caused this afternoon by the ap-
pearance of the STORMY Night Quar-
tette" composed of Messrs. Patchen,
Truax, Wheeler and Cooper and Miss
Stebbins as accompanist. The quar-
tette opened with hit by singing "Ma
On1iest One"
The resolutions were then presented
and adopted by unanimous rising
vote of the convention. The reading
of the resolutions was greeted with
prolonged applause.
The quartette then appeared and
created quite Juror with the following
song written for the occasion by John
son Jackson:
FIRST VERSE
A word about Hal Cooper, our Congressman
down in Washington,
And we all love him, that we do, cause he's o
/ First District son,
And We're going to return him for another
two years, he'll go in with whoop you
/ see,
For there isn't another Congressman in this
State that can compare with he.
He has the ability, the grit and the brains, and
fills the place right,
And he always speaks his mind right out, the
whole story he'll always recite,
Some people don't like the story told so plain
but Cooper will always speak,
| And when he gets through talking, his oppon-
ents make quiet sneak.
CHORUS:
He's always had somebody calling him.
And to ever think Of dropping him out would
| be sin,
He has always done his work SO well,
| That there is no fault that we can tell,
He's always had somebody calling him,
| SECOND VERSE.
This district has been represented, the best in
| all our state.
Our Congressman they all recognize, we are
| proud to relate
| AS chairman of the Insular committee, he's
| far above par,
And his actions in this particular work cor
| rect they always are.
| Great men have been to Washington, from this
| State we love so dear,
And when they sound the praise of Cooper,
| that's what we like to hear.
His reputation is unsullied, his character is
white, and he's always on the right side,
And the friends he has made as Congressman,
are counted and wide,
Rock County Names Cooper.

this juncture took the platform and In
