LEUT.-GOV. COOPER TO QUIT
“W. B. Cooper should celebrate his
acquittal by resigning as lieutenant

the Asheville Times, independent
Democrat, editorially.
“He should not wait until an out
raged public sentiment has forced him
to do the obvious and the decent
thing grudgingly.”
The Times declares that Mr. Cooper
has shown himself not to be the “type
of business man and the citizen to
command the confidence of the people
and to occupy an exalted political of
fice.”
There are tricks in every trade, but
it isn't the tricks that win out in the
long run.
