LAURENS, s. c., MARCH %, 1916.

Although The Advertiser has been
on the side OF the minority in nearly
all the municipal elections of recent
years, it has always, we think, taken
the situations in the best of humor
and offered no criticisms Of the cleo
tors. 1t has always contented itself
with short valedictory and salutatory
combined in few words, adjuring the
new councilmen to do one thing, viz,
to read and abide by the charter. In
this hour, when we find ourselves with
the majority and our position in the
past somewhat vindicated. we are no
more disposed to gioat than we were
then to croak. so we will content
ourselves with the same old advice, to
read the charter or, rather now, the
general laws applying to the city gov
crnment and abide by them. We be-
lieve that the new mayor and council
men desire to do their duty to the
best Of their ability and we wish them
we'll.

ton? What Is their case against Mr..
Manning? Wherein do their claim that
he has fallen short Of what the people
had right to expect of him?
LET us hear the Indictment. Gov
ernor Manning's record is his only
claim to reelection. 1t is legitimate
object Of attack. Mr.. Blease and Mr..
Cooper are within their rights. There
is no doubt but that Mr.. Blease will
say plainly what fault he has to find
with the Manning administration. He
has positive alternative to offer for
those who like the kind of government
of which he is the exponent. What of
Mr.. Cooper? Why does he contend
that public endorsement should be re-
fused Governor Manning? What does
he offer the people that Mr.. Manning
has not given them?"

r. A. COOPER.

There have been many and varied
newspaper comments on the advent Of
Mr.. Cooper into the guhcrnatorial race
race, on the ground that it will weak
Ell the cause of the law enforcement
clement by dividing its strength and
also on the ground that Gov. Manning
is entitled to another term Others
acknowledge his title TO become Il can
didatc without further comment, while
still others come out definitely on his
side. The proportion Of these differ
be Judged from the comments printed
in last weeks paper. The larger daily
papers, as 4 whole, have been rather
rcticcnt in expressing themselves.
The chief objection brought forth
IS on the ground that Gov. Manning's
and Mr.. Coopcr's platform in the last
campaign were practically the same
and for Mr.. Cooper to justify his claim
to the Office now he must find fault in
Gov. Manning for advocating just those
things which he himself was pledged
to do. We do not know Mr.. Coop
cr's plan Of campaign, but VIC see no
necessity for him to attack Gov. Man
ning's record That record has
been made and is already public pro-
pcrty. There is no reason why Mr..
Cooper should go into it unless he
chooses n hn N
for the voters TO pass on it without
anything further than what Gov. Man
ming himself may wish to say about
ii. Judging from the urgent requests
that Mr. Cooper says he has been re-
cciving, 4 large number OF people have
already formed their opinion of the
governors record and it only remains
for Mr.. Cooper TO give his platform
and views as to the future so that
they may decide for themselves whcth-
cr or not they are depending upon the
right man. 1t may certainly be de-
pended upon that Mr.. Cooper will not
say or do anything that will in any
wise compromise himself with a law
less element. 3Iis record as a prose
cutting officer in the courts is sufii-
cient to blight any hopes along that
line.
1t is real early to predict with any
degree Of certainty as to the prospects
Of any candidate in the race, but we
rather think that many papers have
G a n al nP y
Cooper and are not aware Of the
strong current running in his favor
OF course he may be deceived in this
himself, but that is a matter for his
own judgment and does not at all ar
que that he should not respond to 1t.

Just little attention have luxuriant
hair, soft, fluffy and radiantly beau

Prcnching the Funeral.

Quite number Of the papers Of
the state are printing Mr.. Cooper's
political funeral, but we have an idea
that they are somewhat premature.
Better wait until about the latter part
Of August. and at that time we would
not be surprised that they will ey-
perience jolt when they wake up.
Mr. Cooper will be able to take
care of himself on the platform
against all others. and great changes
can be wrought in few months.
1t has been repeatedly noted that
the Anderson county votes Is a good
indication Of how the state will vote,
and If this continues to hold true
this time, we have very strong sus-
picion as to who will be the next gov
ernor Of South Carolina.
Better call off the funeral-Ander-
son Daily Mall.

4 Martyr to Duty

1T is as martyr to duty that Mr..
Robert \. Cooper comes before the
pubic as candidate for Governor.
Long has he resisted the pleadings Of
his friends that he sacrifice himself to
save the state. In his announcement
it is stated that they have been ap-
pealing to him from all sections for
the last six months. This statement,
we are sure, is over-modest Eighteen
months would probably be more near
ly correct. This, however, Is OF no
very great moment. The main point
is that Mr.. Cooper has yielded, under
a sense Of duty, to the opportunities
Of his friends.
"Who these friends are the public
has yet to learn. Their names and
Views and affiliations will be worth
studying. SO also as to Mr.. Cooper's
platform. There are many who as yet
are puzzled to know just how Mr..
Cooper Is going to save the State and
just what it is he is going to save 1t
from.
"Mr. Blease's case is different. We
all know what Mr.. Blcase stands for,
why he wants Governor Manning de-
feated, what policies he would substl-
tute for those which the present ad-
ministration has enforced. Mr.. Blease
and a part at least Of his former fol-
lowing have just and abundant cause
for dissatisfaction and disgust with
the way things are now being run in
South Carolina; but who are these
friends Of Mr.. Cooper who shares this
feeling SO strongly that they arc de-
termined to sacrifice him upon the al
tar Of duty?
"For Of course Mr.. Coopcr's claim
that he is to be candidate upon his
own merits alone, however honestly
put forth, will not be able to stand
the strain to which 1t must presently
be subjected. He can win If at all on
ly by beating down Manning or by
connivng at the arraignment OF Man
ming by others. Unless Mr.. Cooper and
his friends are prepared to denounce
the Manning administration and It's
achievements how can they insist that
1t is Mr.. Cooper's duty to oppose Gov
ernor Manning in his race for re-elec-

or.
Powers is marvcllously gifted Her
facial expression and mobility, togeth-
or with power Of suggesting a wealth
Of thought or emotion by the slightest

a Dantomimic value in addition to her
harmonious Interpretation Of the ari-
