WILLIAM F. COOPER.
Biographical Sketch of Repub-
 IiCan Candidate for Dele gate to Congress.

William FenimOre Cooper, rcpuh- lican candidate for delegate to con gress, is one of the best known and most highly respected citizens of Ari- zona.
 A resident of the territory since 1S9I-having lived in five of the thir- teen counties, and having always taken an active interest in both local and territorial affairs wherever he has | lived-nO man can lay claim to | better knowledge of prevailing conditions. No one who knows him can question his integrity, his industry, his perspicacity, his alertness, his congenial personality or any of those necessary attributes which comprise one's fitness as a cam paigner or his ability to discharge the duties of the high office to which lie aspires.
 During the campaign that is to fol- low much will be heard of " Bill '' Cooper; but opposition to him will, of necessity, be confined to a discussion of issues, for he stands on clean recOFd. Much is already known of Mir. Cooper in 8 general way, but, in the light of incidents which will make him prominent figure from tIrs time forward, a sketch of his career, some- what biographical, will be both timely and interesting.
 Mr. Cooper was born in Dublin, Wayne county, Indiana, August G., 1858, living in that vicinity until he was fifteen years old. He graduated from the high school in Richmond in 1873, attended Otterbein university for year and then entered the military academy at Peekskill, N. Y, from which he graduated in 1877 at the head of his class. For two years there after he studied law at Richmond, Ind., l witt William X. Peele, former lieu tenant-gOvernor of that state, and then came west, cn the advice of physicians, by reason of impaired health.
 He spent year or so in Colorado, returned to his home in Indiana, and, in lSS0-still being in poor health-he went to California. Here, with plenty of outdoor life on the range and brief residences ia various coast cities, his health was fully restored. After an- other visit to the old home, he re- turned to California and engaged in newspaper work until 1891, when he came to Arizona.
 His Arizona record began in Mohave county, then in Phoenix, where he was engaged as printer for short time, going from Phoenix to Florence, Pinal county, where he bought the Florence Tribune.
 During his newspaper work he had continued his study of the Jaw, and in 1894 be was admitted to the bar at l Florence. Since then lie has been admitted to practice in the higher courts of both Arizona and California.
 Selling the Tribune, he moved to Tucson, where he was engaged first in newspaper work. then as a court stcn-

Either a republican, demo- crat or a socialist may vote for the joint statehood measure with perfect consistency, regardless of the attitude of his party, if he believes his interests would be advanced by any kind of state hood and they certainly would. The statehood question should be separated from politics, v absolutely and completely,

The Morning Sunis very much perturbed because of the har- mony in the republican ranks. It had hoped to see the party hopelessly split up the back and down the middle over the state hood question, and is woefully disappointed that the opposite has resulted. Too bad.

 The committee on platform and resolutions reported the follow ing platform, which was unani- mously adopted;
 ! PLATFORM.
 We, the republicans of Yuma county, Arizona, in convention assembled, do hereby reaftirm our allegiance to the grand old republican party.
 We most heartily endorse the administrations of Theodore Roosevelt and Joseph H. KibLey; and we especially commend our able, honest and fearless govern or for bis successful efforts to- ward equalizing the burden of taxation, and thus causing the rich, in common with the poor, to contribute their just share to the expense of the government.
 We appeal to the voters of Yuma county, regardless of po- litical affiliation, to retain the republican party in control of the business affairs of our coun- ty; and in support of that ap- peal we cite the facts: that when the republicans assumed control of county affairs on January 1, 1905, the county was $19, 1000 be- hind on it's running expenses, with no money in the treasury to meet the demand, although for four years, under democratic administrations, there had been a tax rate of S4. 50 per hundred and upwards; that on January 1, 1907, the county will be on a cash basis, with money in the treasury to meet every demand, with the tax rate for the current year at S3. 90. We further cite the fact that every republican official elected two years ago has honestly and efficiently admins tered the duties of their respect | i've offices; and we pledge our candidates, if elected, to an hon. est and economical administra- tion of public affairs.
 For these reasons we confident ly appeal to the voters of Yuma county to support our entire ticket at the coming election. The following ticket was then unanimously chosen, the selec- tions having been previously made in caucus:
