Candidacy of Hon. E. c. Cooper

Candidacy of Hon. E. c. Cooper
Probably no more efficient depart
ment officer ever occupied a position
at the state capitol than Hon. E. c.
Cooper, present commissioner of in.
surance, and who is now the republic
an candidate for reelection.
Mr.. Cooper is especially qualified
for the important position he occu-
pies owing to the fact that he has
made the subject of insurance life
study. Since he has held the posi-
ton of insurance commissioner the
companies permitted to operate in
North Dakota have been subjected to
the closest scrutiny, and the people
who have resorted to protect their
interests with life and fire insurance
have every reason to feel confident
that because these companies, being
compelled to submit their transactions
to such competent public official as
Mr.Cooper, their interests are ably
saieguarded.
Those who have followed Mr.. Coop
er's public career have learned to re-
gard him as an energetic business
man of clear Judgment and sound dis
erection, and that he has so success.
fully conducted the affairs OF the state
insurance department is largely due
to the fact that he had received a
lifelong schooling in that particular
line of work All the new insurance
laws now on our statutes are practic-
ally the handiwork of the present
commissioner. who urged their enact
ment by the legislature for. the sake
of more stringent protection for the
people.
Ever since Mr.. Cooper has resided
in the state he has been an ardent
worker in the ranks of the republican
party, and from the fact that he has
been such a prominent political work
er, and because Of his eminently sue
cessful career as public official, he
has gained gratifying and popular
acquaintance all over the state.
In this present political contest Mr.
Cooper appears before the people as
the republican candidate for reelec-
ton to the office he occupies at pre-
ssEt, and undoubtedly because of his
eminent standing as c party worker a
the republican ranks, and because of

Little Has Inside Track.

Kuhn Messenger: 1t appears to
the Messenger that Col. C. B. Little,
of Bismarck, has the inside track
among the several candidates for
the United States senatorship. The
Messenger does not know very much
about the loacl sentiment regard
ing the senatorship in the different
counties of the state, and has not
taken very active interest in the ris-
cussion of the merits of the several
candidates. However, of late it is
noticed that the different candidates
are all directing their fight against
Mr.. Little. These men have kent
themselves posted as to the local
sentiment of the different counties
OF the state, and the very fact that
they are devoting their time to put
ting up fight against Mr.. Little is
proof sufficient that they regard him
as the man with whom they will
have to deal when the votes are
counted at the primary election. Mr..
Little is seemingly strong man all
over the state, and the other candi-
oates realize that he has a large
Following which they would like to

when all the candidates open fire on
one particular candidate, it is almost
always conclusive evidence that
that particular candidate is the most
popular with the people. The events
OF the past few weeks leads the
messenger to believe that such is
The case in this instance.

what the people of the state will
gladly return him for another term
by good, substantial vote At the
last election he proved a tower of
strength to the republican ticket, be.

any candidate on the ticket, demon

profound respect and absolute con-

all of which being true, it would ma

the coming election with practically
the same rousing majority.
