decision to retire from the posi-
ton he had so wOrthily filled, and
then it was that the people all
over this congressional district
called upon him to be their rep
resentative in Congress. Still
vigorous in manhood, of sound
health and ripe in experience and
sound in mind, he appeared to
the people as the very man to aid
them in restoring their lost pros
perity through proper national
legislation. The Judge yielded to
the opportunities of the people
and consented to be their candi-
date for congress. The result
was a victory that has done more
for the Twelfth district than any
political event that has happen
ed for twenty years. 1t lifted the
name of Texas from the category
of the "sOlid SOUTH" it demon
strated that our people were at
last waking up to sense of dan
ger from too close adhesion to
political prejudice to the detri-
ment of their material interest.
Under free trade legislation our
stock had disappeared from the
hills and valleys of our western
domain; our fiockmasters had be-
come bankrupts; our western
towns had collapsed to dullness;
our merchants closed their doors;
the peOpled west became a will
derness. Every avenue of trade
became stagnant; the depression
in business was felt in every
household upon our border. The
election of Judge Noonan was a
protest from a patient and long
suffering people, who had trusted
too implicitly in the false prom
Uses of theoretical statesmen.
Could Judge Noonan change all
this in a single session under a
free trade president? 1t could
not be expected; but he did his
best and but for the free silver
senators there is no doubt but the
last congress would have given
our people a measure of relief,
but not so complete as it will be
when Mckinley and a Republi-
can congress take charge of our
government.
Unused as he was to congress
siOnal life Judge Noonan proved
an industrious worker, and no
constituent applied to him for
his services during his stay in
Washington, but received prompt
attention. His diffidence and true
mOdesty withheld him from at
tempting any display, but he
gained reputation with his fellow
members as he became acquaint-
ed, and his services on the com
mittees to which he was assigned
were acknowledged. No man
from Texas has made more head
way in the esteem of the promi
nent men of congress than Judge
, NoOnan in so brief an experience
. He hOnored the people who hon
ored him and the state he repre-
scented. -
