Coover, 35 years old, died in a local hospital about 2 o’clock this morning, after an illness of five weeks. Mr. Coover, who was employed as ‘bridge and building carpenter for the Northern Pacific, was taken ill with “flu” several weeks ago and was sent to the hospital at Glendive. He was discharged from the hospital but a recurrence of the trouble ac- companied by cerebral ailment caused his death. Mr. Coover came to North Dakota from Missouri and first located near Jamestown. He entered the employ of the Northern Pacific in 1913 and had been employed on the Dakota divisior since that time. Mr, Coover lived at 615 Tenth street. He is survived by a widow and two small children, George, aged 4, and Clarence, aged 2; ‘his mother, Mrs, Lettie Coover, and ithe follow- ing brothers and sisters: Mrs. E.

Nortod) was a candidate for the indorsemenit for senator. “Old Heads” Busy Believing that precipitate action would result in a fight which might not be cleared before the campaign the “old heads” of the convention worked diligently from che first*in an effort to reach harmony. R. J. Hughes, campaign manager for Senator Mc- Cumber and secretary of the commit- tee calling the convention, nad made it plain from the McCumber side that there was a disposition to do anything J.| reasonable to reach harmony. As usual there are a f2w “irrecon- ciliables” and “‘bitter endera” who made the path of settlement difficult. This was shown at the caucus of the anti-McCumber delegates when bit- ter speeches were made attacking him and it was proposed immediately to unite on Judge Christianson. \“old heads” immediately pointed out that such procedure would not only disrupt the convention but would not aid Judge Christianson. The candi- dates, which included P. D. Norton, were entitled to have their names go pefore the convention, they said, and then in the balkoting there could be unity on Judge Christianson if the antiiMcCumber forces were in ma- jority. A warm feeling toward Judge Christianson was shown by the dele- gates in their cheering at the caucus and frequent discussions of his name. One of the troublesome features and one of the barriers to an early fight was the fact that there was a large group of delegates, of which the Emmons county delegation was typ- ical, who wanted to avoid a split, fa- vored no indorsement for senator but would vote for Senator McCumber if there were any indorsement at all. Because of lack of unity on a candi- The their harracks, (Continued on Page 3)
