VOTE FOR SAN ANTONIO.


of our state and sectional interests /
twenty-four hours old, the readers q
the LIGHT will be depositing thei
ballots to decide the condition o
the state and nation for the next few
years. AS to the state, 1t lie in tn,
hands of the worst elements OF tn,
democratic party and every influence
and power of the state administration
Is being exerted to perpetuate tba'
rule. That its continuance will be
destructive to state progress is open.
ly acknowledged, even by those
VINO will vote to .perpetuate
it; such vote predicated on the
declaration that Hogg is the regular
nominee of his party. Such men
would betray every interest of the
state for the purpose or maintaining
party and are not to be trusted with
the administration of it's affairs. The
time has come for intelligent men to
rea son calmly and decide without
prejudice in affairs of state as of ma
tional politics. The interests OF this
great state are of more Importance
than the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of this or
that party. The political action of
intelligent men should be weighed in
the balances of a fair judgment and
decided as business affairs are
decided. The LIGHT urges upon
its readers such political action as
will insure the state the best possible
administration of affairs; convince
capital at home and abroad of the
safety of its investments; assure
people of all classes that their per-
sonal, political aud industrial rights
are absolutely in good hands; and in
every way tend to restore that conf
dence which four years of Hoggism
has so largely destroyed.
The state administration secured it
is of the first Importance that our
congressional district should not be
misrepresented by man COM
mitted to stand by party tradi-
tons irrespective of the protest
of the best elements of his
party, and committed also to policy
that will seriously cripple three of the
largest indus tries of the state. There
is not doubt that ali our growing
enterprises, and score of new ones
on the eve of organization within the
boundaries of this district, will be
strangled to death should the indus
trial policy for which Tom PaschsI
stands as the representative be adopt
ell. Instead of alligning himself with
the progressive element of the Texas
democracy Mr.. Paschal is training
with the reactionary element, and
doing so solely because that ele-
ment represents what he Is
pleased to term the regular de.
mocracy of the state. San Antonio
has everything to gain and nothing
to lose by coming into line with the
enlightened protective policies of the
country. The development of her vast
resources depends upon the protect
ion OF those infant Industries, under
which alone her building up into a
great Observation-Disclosures can be &C
complished. This can only be rel each
ed through the continuation of a pro-
tective policy. This is purely and dis.
stinctively the pc icy of the republi-
can party, and it is to repu bIicans
and only to repu blicsns that San An
tonic can look for this perpetuation.
1t is useless to harp about party while
great interests are at stake. San
Antonio needs a representative in
Congress. This county casts nearly
one halt of the vote of the entire dis
trict, and she has been unrepresented
in congress for years. The democracy
refused her a candidate at Llano, TAX
ing one much less able to represent
the district than the one offered by
this city; and now, this city In defence
of her own interests should see that
her vote goes to Henry Terrell, the
candidate of this city, put forward by
the party protecting the wool, hide
cattle and iron industries of the dis
trict.
