Judge GOggin Talks.
Judge J. NJ Gogggin reviewed the
Houston convention and the incidents
which led up to it in his address,
which followed the Introductory talk
of judge Jackson. In introducing judge
Goggin, judge Jackson said that Wash
lngton had been watching judge Cog
gin as material for a future federal
judgeship in this district. After re-
viewing the Houston convention at
length In most interesting manner,
Judge Goggin. in referring to the re-
.un1 &c Of n ea ~fsaAe 1fa
man is due the credit of bringing
about the fruitiOn Of the desire that
I'll Paso should cease to be a pocket
borough. That man is W. B. Ware At
a time when it would have been to
his financial and political advantage
to cast his lot with others, through
the desire to throw off the yoke, he,
with others, organized to bring about
that result and the sending of a legal
delegation TO the Houston convention
for Woodrow Wilson. Mr.. CObb'S re-
ply 20 state senator Hudspeth was
more than equal to the occasion HIS
work was done and done well and
too much cannot be said of it. 1t was
a wise choice of Mr.. Cobb as delegate
to the national convention and re-
gard his appointment with personal
qualification and a vindicatiOn of our
selves.
Appointment Approved.
Il take a pardOnable pride with Mr..
Cobb and the others in overthrOwing
a rule which has so long dominated
politics in this county and for once
taking Ell PasO out of the list of pocket
bOrOuShs
4 believe the president has made
a good appointment here, as he has
in hundreds of other Democrats who
Will show that Democratic Officeholders
are more than ordinarily capable ser
wants of the people and that they will
give a good, safe business administra-
ton of the government In closing, I
would urge that in choosing subordi- Z
mates that none but capable men be !
chosen. All things being equal, those I
who fought the battles are entitled /
to first consideration, but they must 4
be men of character and ability. As 4

all believe that he is a great chief {
