”THE F’AIFL”
(Wagner & Chabot. 1
AN OPEN LETTER.
To the Senators and Representatives in
Congress from Texas and co members
of the State Legislature:
Gentlemen: 1. It is known to you that
'an Antonio with its mild and dry at-
misphere offers conditions favorable to
the cure of consumption and other dis-
eases.
2. It is also known to you that the fact
just stated has brought to this city from
>ther parts of Texas oilier states and
Canada large numbers of patients who
come here often in the last stages of coa-
sumption and without money.
3. If not within your knowledge it can
be shown that the accomodations of this
place for invalids especially those with
pulmonary comulaints are wholly and
pi t f "'ly inadequate to their needs and
further it is not possible for this city
aim. grapple with the difficulty pre-
sets d.
The question then arises who shall
provide for the army of sick people com-
ing this way in search of health?
A matter concerning the whole country
it is clearly the duty not only of the
chai itabie of ’his but of every communi-
ty in the Isnd to see that the afflicted
directed to San Antonio from all over the
nation shall be treated on their arrival
here in a manner dictated by the broadest
humin ty: namely by their reception
into suitable hospitals and sanitariums.
If this be not done the alternative con-
tagion will be sown broadcast in this
health resort in hotels boarding and
lodging bouses and death will continue
~o reap the harvest of hundreds and
thousands of lives which in al human
probability might have been saved.
Gentlemen it is earnestly begged that
you will give due consideration to this
muortant subject and if there be no
overstatement of the case that you will
do all in your p wer to to promote the de-
sired re-ult-. in keeping with advanced
medical science and a large Christian
civi.ization. G Q A. Rose.

RING CONVENTION.
LARGE ATTENDANCE OF THE SO-
CALLED LEADERS.
The Matter is Merely a Cut and
Dried Affair for the Continu-
ance of Present Incum-
bents*
The so-calied Citizens’ County
convention which was called some
time ago to meet today at Conven-
tion hall to express the will of the
Democratic voters of Bexar county
and select a list of candidates for
county otlices at the approaching
election convened on time this
morning.
The hall was crowded with suf-
fragans and it could clearly be seen
by looking over the hall from the
speaker’s platform that the ardent
supporters of the ‘‘ring” were there
in force.
Some of the delegates even dis-
regarded politics and from the
Republican and Populist ranks the
crowd is swelled.
Mr. J. R. Hooper called the
meeting to order and Thomas F.
Shields nominated A. I. Lockwood
for temporary chairman. He was
elected unanimously and Isidore
Straus was made secretary.
A committee of ten was ap-
pointed on order of business basis
of representationand organization
and then a recess of fifteen min-
utes was taken.
The committee reported making
the temporary organization per-
manent. The report was adopted.
It was then moved and carried
that the chair appoint a commit-
tee composed of the chairmen of
each of the 50 county precincts
represented for the purpose of for-
mulating a ticket or list of candi-
dates for the various county offices
at the next election. The com-
mittee was appointed and the
meeting then adjourned until 3
o’clock this afternoon to allow the
committee of fifty to report.
NOTES.
The doorkeeper on this occasion
was a big Turk who seated at the
entrace door smoked hisnarghileh
an 1 observed the crowd of curious
Democrats with apparent interest.
Henry Umscheid was one of the
onlookers. His convention will be
held at Mission garden tonight.
The entire list of county officials
were present today.
The crowds had a dull time of it
at this cut and dried affair this
morning but look for livelier times
at the Mission garden meeting to-
night.
The ticket which the committee
of fifty will formulate will not be
much different from the list recent-
ly published in the Light.
Injured by a Street Car.
Last night between 7 and 8
o’clock a motorman on the San
Antonio Electric Railway system
named J. D. Miller was struck by
a passing car on a parallel track
while he was upon another car
standing on the side board and
turning a seatback. He was
knocked from the car and sus-
tained a broken rib and several
wounds on his head and arms.
He was removed to his home on
Tenth street and a physician was
summoned.
By Our Democratic Contributor.
The nearer election day comes ’
around the more actively ourj
memkries turn to the first Tuesday ;
in 1892 when about 3500 Demo-
crats refused to vote for Thomas
M. Paschal because he promised i
to abide by the party platform and 1
refused to declare that he would
fight Democrats Republicans and
Populist if they clash with
his views of the interest
of a portion of his constituency.
Whether that was the reason or
not whether it was that his re-
spected father was a Republican or
that he once accepted office from
an appointing power not of his
political faith need not be further
inquired into now; the fact re-
mains he—in this Democratic
county—came out of the contest
with 181 votes anead of
Mr. Terrell or about 3500
votes behind the Democratic
strength. Who did this treachery
to the Democratic nominee nom-
-1 Inated at Llano after days and
days of balloting under the two-
third rule? Was any
under a sense of defeat and there-
fore sought the defeat of a success-
ful competitor or was it only an
unaccountable mistake in voting?
Perhaps it was only the latter and
if it was there is great fear that the
mistake will be made over again
for it actually looks like most of
our Democrats are completely
turned around and are working
hard to give the present candidate
at least 181 votesand try to pre-
vent his falling about 3500 behind
the regular Democracy.
SHORT STOPS.
What ths People are saying.
Registration is not as rapid as it
should be every intelligent voter
should take the first opportunity
toonrole himself and not wait un-
til the last moment.
Every supporter of Judge Noon -
an should register promptly as his
vote will be needed on election
day to down any conspiracy that
may be found to outwit and undo
the almost unanimous sentiment
in favor of Judge Noonan.
The great mass of our people
are intelligent earnest and patri-
otic while local combinations are
forming to boost candidates for
county offices —the people are
alert and determined to express
their will at the ballot box.
Ugly rumors pregnant with cor-
ruption are floating about it only
needs that these rumors be con-
firmed to rouse the sleeping lion of
public opinion.
The intelligent voter the tax-
payer the real citizen native born
or naturalized must be wide
awake because we have fallen on
evil times when through the use
of money and the lavish promises
for the future the very manhood
of suffrage is being stripped to the
skin.
* * *
Every household every head of
a family must rally to the stan-
dard of honesty and hurl from
place the manipulations of public
o flicks.
A great national crisis is upon
us —the cause rises above the per-
sonal politics that rules today in
out midst—the people will not tol-
erate any manipulation that has
for its object the election of local
officials to sever them from their
purpose to elect Judge Noonan.
Let every good citizen register
in order that he may be armed
with the weapon that decides the
battle. Our registration list will be
loaded down with hundreds of
of voters who are ignorant and irre-
sponsible who will fall an easy and
willing prey to the manipulation
of local politicians.
The power of the people armed
with the ballot is omnipotent and
defeat is only possible when cir-
cumvented by fraud and deception.
Arm yourselves with your registra-
tion certificate so that you can take
your place in the ranks on election
day to do battle for the best inter-
ests of your country and if neces-
sory trample under foot all oppo-
sition no matter from what uuar-
ter it may come.
We have 8000 voters in this city.
Of these at least 6000 are forjudge
Noonan —but every man of them
register and be prepared to vote.

A Musical Evening.
The South Heights Musical club
hold its bi-monthly meeting yes-
terday evening at the residence of
Mr. Thomas Dewees on South
Heights. The attendance was
large consisting of about thirty-
five or more ladies and gentlemen
among them quite a galaxy of
musical talent who rendered sweet
music and song intermingled with
pleasant conversation which lasted
until a late hour. The South
Heights Musical club while free
from all flourishing of trumpet
style contains the acme of musical
talent among its members and to
attend its meeting always gives
pleasure.
SHORT SNAPPERS
The Big Six ticket Is all fixed now.
Candidate Umscheid Is still In the race
Candidate Anton will not announce in
the papers.
August Santleben's backbone may yet
get strong enough to make the race.
Jack Daugherty’s cow bell ordinance
is a dead letter on the West Side.
There may be tome fun in Bexar coun-
ty yet.
lias Captain McCall been promised city
collector or chy marshal ?
Billy Snell is still faithful to Candidate
Kroeger.
So the tall Sycamore of the San Pedro
is to have opposition?
McMinn will now proceed to knock out
all the Floaters.
The combine has proscribed a city
office for T P. McCall but the dose has
not yet been swallowed.
The cowbell serenade was unusually
loud at West End last night. Where oh
where are the city pound masters?
Theo. Banks must get a Princess gait
on himself if he would win in precinct
No. 2.
The combine might promise to make
“Can't SV p” city attorney if he will
agree not to run this lime.
Captain Nat Lewis sleeps with both
eyes open and don't yon forget he is
keeping ail the other candidates awake
If it were only possible to get the Big
Two together on a local ticket they
would make the fur fly.
Read the Light today all through and
then send it to some unconverted Demo-
crat.
The Dallas Slate Fair association have
their racing programs scattered broad-
cast all over the country. The San Anto-
nio Jockey club should follow the exam-
ple.
Candidate Huth’s conduct of his office
appears allright except he gets the ‘‘Lily
White night mare" occasionally. A can-
didate for office should not be particular
as to the color of the voter.
