derstoOd, for it is not the custom
to elect a Republican congressman
from this Twelfth district, and the
tomorrow's convention must act
with great wisdom in its work if it
would issue in success. Fortunate
ly, the case of the right man for
the place is not complicated, and
there has come up from all parts
of the district demand for the
nomination of Judge George H.
Noonan, of San Antonio, for this
responsible place. Judge NOonan
is as well known to the district as
any man in any county of it is
known To that county. His candi-
dacy will be without any suspi-
Cion of personal serving or indi-
vidual solicitation for the place.
AS is well known, the Judge is not
only not solicitous for the honor,
but has only been prevailed on
to consider the matter at all by
the most earnest persuasions of
the representative men of the en-
tire district, largely irrespective Of
party. A call such as this, in
which the office so persistently
seeks the man, is not to be disre-
garded, and it is not optional with
Judge Noonan to set this, call one.
side merely becaust he prefers the
privacy of his accustomed life. AS
a citizen who can serve his people
in time Of need, and which SER
vice cannot now be rendered by
any other so certainly, it seems
that there can be but one answer
that the Judge can give to this de-
mand of his old fellow citizens.
His long residence in the district
his we'll known aversion to politi-
cal office, his universal popularity,
his accepted Republicanism, his
Protection principles all point him
out as the man around whom the
PROSTATE sheep and cattle indus
tries of this district would rally at
the polls, were he nominated as
Congressional representative from
this district. That he will receive
the support of the brains. means,
speeches, personal efforts of the
Republican leaders of the district,
is certain, and it is equally certain
thot he will poll every vote of his
party in the district, besides thou
sands of those. who care less for
party than for business interests.
That Judge Noonan stands the
best chance Of carrying this district
on a straight out Protective Re-
publican platform is the opinion
of his district, and this fact alone
demands that he accept the nomi-
nation so certain to be rendered
him tomorrow.
There is no excuse offered for the
perpetrators of violence anywhere
at any time by the LIGHT. Those
street car strikers had the sympa-
thy of the LIGHT in their contest
for decent, or at least, living wages,
but not one smell Of sympathy for
those who perpetrated violence to
secure their end.
II the San Antonio Express was
as good a Republican sheet for the
three months Immediately preced-
ing a general election as it is fer
the other twenty-one months of
the twenty-four, there would be no
immediate necessity for Morning
R publican Journal in this south
west. AS it is, the Express is Re-
publican twenty-one months out
OF the twenty.four for home pa
tronage, and Democratic the other
three for political revenue. AS a
great religious daily, devoted to
it's own financial salvation, it is
