merchandise offered from anywhere and
by anyone. He does not desire long
absences from his business or expensive
railroad trips either for himself or his
buyers. San Antonio is able to offer
what this modern merchant requires.
and it is this fact alone which is making
San Antonio the market place of the
Southwest. Our geographical location
is central for this vast territory. AT
the same time our freight rates for raw
materials for our manufacturers which
come from Eastern points are extremely
low, being based upon water tranSporta-
ton, and on raw materials produced To-
Cally are, of course, even lower. our
great jObbing houses are also largely
built on this factor of water tranSpor-
tation which enables them TO land their
merchandise in San Antonio fully as
cheap, and in many cases cheaper than
the great Northern and Middle Western
houses can stock the same merchandise
on an all-rail haul from point Of origin
and far cheaper than the Southwestern
retailer can hope TO bring his mcrchan-
disc by local freight.
Mexican Trade Factor.
The Mexican trade of San Antonio
is, ] firmly believe, Il most important
factor not only in the present size oil
our city, but in its future as in IFS past
This is not only based upon the geo
graphical situation of San Antonio a.
applies to the domestic trade III the
Southwest and mentioned above. Dut
there is another and most important fac.
tor Just as the great Tulip center OF
the world is in Holland and the great
insurance center is in London and other
businesses of different character have
been concentrated in certain points. so
the Mexican export trade for the United
States is today largely centered in san
Antonio. The res sons are somewhat
similar, and that is that more people IN
San Antonio know about Mexican traae

duties will be had eventually with Mex
leo. to the great advantage of the bust
ness men generally of both countries
and particularly to the great advantage
of the consuming public of both coun-
tries who will thus be relieved of these
high subsidies.
These are just few of the reasons
why no thoughtful man can look TO the
future of San Antonio as a market place
with misgiving. The factors which have
built San Antonio are yet in their in
fancy. Our own Southwest as well as
the republic of Mexico are largely I'M

to this time. there is particularly no
cause for diseOuragement, and. on the
other hand, there is q sound basis for n
profound conviction that the natural
and inevitable development of our trade

San Antonio far beyond the dreams OF
our people at this time"

WILL JOHNSON LEAD BOLT
At REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
CONTINUED from page II


As Roosevelt's first lieutenant and
subsequent running-mate on the
ticket put up by this impromptu
party, Senator Hiram Johnson was
a prominent figure in the historic
Chicago convention of 1912. AS a
man who is temperamentally akin
to Roosevelt in many ways, Senator
Hiram Johnson is of the type which
Is at it's best when in the thick OF
such a fight as Roosevelt. waged
against the G.. O. p. bosses in 1912
AS the man who looms larger each
day as the ultimate choice of the
successors of the Bull Moose heads
of 1912 against Mr.. Coolidge, the
choice of the successors of the Pen
rose-New-Crane organization,
tor Hiram Johnson seems destined
to run into Just such a combination
of circumstances as led to the birth
of the Bull Moose party in 1912.
The stage is being set: the de
movement promises to be interesting
The old play ended in disaster for
all the characters; but political
playwrights are prone to forget the
lessons of experience and allow their
pet devices to creep into the plot
despite themselves.
"a continuation of the present
system of representation is wholly
indefensible. 1t is a mockery, to give
voters in Republican states the pres
idential primary and then permit
their work to be undone by the jub-
berry Of federal place holders man
ipulating the inconsequential Repub-
lican vote of the south"
Those words were printed in the
Chicago Tribune eleven years ago.
But unless all signs fail they will be
equally as applicable next year.
