Great Leader "Mr. Copeland," writes an associate, "combined a great capacity for leader- ship, with an unusual power for grasp- ing and analyzing facts; and with keen foresight, sound judgment and high in- tegrity. His counsel in the industries of which he was a part, was often sought, and highly valued. He gave unstintingly of his energies to activi- ties and causes that appealed to him. In the recent presidential campaign, Mr. Copeland was chairman of the Illi- nois Engineers' committee for Herbert Hover."
