Noah Webster Cooper, the well known
reformer and advocate of the strict
observance of the Sabbath, today an
nounced his candidacy for the United
States senate in the primary next Au-
gust. He seeks the place now held by
*. D." Mcclellan.
Mr.. Webster announces on strict
Sunday observance platform. He holds
that all of the evils which afflict and
have afflicted the country have been
due to a Goddess disregard of the Sab
bath day. He makes Sabbath break
ing which he declares is nation wide,
the issue of the campaign. He de-
clares that Washington, the capital OF
the nation, has been captured by the
forces of evil Now that peace has
been made with Germany and Aus
tria, he would have the nation to make
peace with God.
Mr.. Cooper touches other phases of
national life in the following words:
"In our nation wide Sabbath break.
ing, our nation is at war against God
We have at last made peace with Ger
many and Austria Now let us make
peace with God We can't long be at
peace with our brothers while we are
still at war with God
"All our tariff and tax laws should
measure out equal and exact justice
to all men, and special privileges to
none No class or business should
be enslaved for another Righteous
conference and arbitration, under law,
must Settle our differences. Our chill
dren must be schooed with partner
ship with God in developing the latent
wealth of our forests, fields and noun
tains.
Our arteries of commerce must be
kept free of every destroying evil
even as now of infected cattle, liquor
lotteries, profane literature, anarchy
and white slavery.
Our moral and financial obliga
tons, assumed in peace and in war
must be faithfully kept. Much less
money and much more publicity and
patriotism is needed in our elections
Our mothers, wives and daughters
may now vote with us: their superior
sense of right will wisely aid us in our
struggle for righteous reconstruction
Whatever of good is in me, | owe
largely to the teachings of my blessed
mother, and the inspiration of my
sainted wife. Our mohers, wives and
daughters will help us bring God S
perfection to our homes and nation.
Through wise conservation and
application of our boundless, but neg
lected spiritual resources, God will
give us wisdom to best secure, devel.
op and use the wondrous wealth "ot
his good land and leave it for an inner
itance" for our children after us for
ever.
Conscious of the exalted service eX
pected of Tennessee senators, | come
with ideas like these, and pray your
nomination in our primary, as demo
cratic candidate for the office of Unit
ed States senator, for the term be-
ginning March 4, 1929. | seek the of
| flee for the service | can render
| there.
Born and bred to Goodness, the
glorious people of Tennessee still be
| lieye with all their hearts that right
eoousness still exalteth a nation To
voice their sentiment in our greatest
law-ma1ing body, and from it to the
world, our party must well deserve
their trust and love.
Our people will gladly flock to our
party standard when it is a standard
of exalted service for every citizen,
whatever his past alignments. Our
party must show itself Moses, called
of God, if we would lead our people
out of the Egyp oft national trouble
into the promised land of peace and
prosperity. If chosen by your ballots,
shall keep the faith and fight a good
fight. So help me God
NOAH w. COOPER"
