In 1911 to 1913 he managed a Madrid illustrated review Nuevo Mundo, in 1922 to1939 a Seville-based daily La Unión, and during short spells also other minor periodicals.

[16] Domingo was raised in atmosphere marked by cultural heritage of the Ossavarries, literary and musical endeavors of his father, publishing business of the Quesada family[17] and early painting achievements of his older brother.

At the time he already commenced co-operation with numerous periodicals and entered the editorial board of a popular Madrid review Nuevo Mundo;[21] as its correspondent he already travelled to Cuba.

[30] Santiago Tejera Arroyo sided with Carlists; he served under colonel Redondo as requeté during the war,[31] was moderately active in the post-war years and declared Don Juan the legitimate heir to the throne in the late 1950s.

Schneider” and his correspondence demonstrated a hardly veiled pro-German and pro-Austrian bias; apart from ongoing analysis which usually underlined arguments in favor of the Central Powers,[46] he claimed that outbreak of the war was triggered by Russia, which sought domination in the Balkans.

[53] He gained some recognition as vehement participant in debate over would-be division of the Canary Islands into two provinces; in numerous publications he opposed the plan and hailed Gran Canaria over Tenerife.

[58] Prior to the 1918 elections he was marked as a Canarian candidate to the Cortes supported by the alliance of leonistas[59] and mauristas; eventually the negotiations broke down,[60] he stood as independent and lost miserably.

[65] In 1919 Tejera commenced co-operation with El Debate, a Madrid daily set up as a modern Catholic newspaper tailored in line with the ACNP strategy.

[66] In 1920 he moved from Madrid to Seville to assume management of similarly formatted provincial newspaper, El Correo de Andalucia,[67] the daily partially controlled by the local archbishop.

Tejera charged almost all politicians of late Restoration of ruining national politics with partisan squabbles[83] and claimed that the constitution of 1876, which allowed this, was no longer operational.

[84] The book was a firm monarchist pronouncement; Tejera lamented that due to constitutional limitations Alfonso XIII was unable to prevent political deterioration and called to build the future system on strong executive, possibly based on broadened royal prerogatives.

The daily assumed a militant stand aimed against champions of republican legislation; they were charged with pursuit of masonic and secular interests against the Spanish national tradition.

[89] During the 24-hour takeover of Seville by Sanjurjo, La Unión’s editorial read that “Spain has need of all her sons and issues this day a call to provide the nation with healthier institutions”.

[102] Eventually Tejera was comfortably elected; though courted by the AP, he wired the Carlist leader Rodezno a message of adhesion: “quiero sentarme junto a Vd.

Tejera was subject to 63 lawsuits, the premises were many times assaulted[106] and until mid-1934 combined fines totaled 20,000 ptas;[107] the press kept publishing information on new administrative measures.

The party executive was divided into those who opted for a Carlist-only rising and those who remained skeptical, leaning rather towards joining a coup organized by the military; Tejera counted among the latter.

[119] After Seville had been seized by the rebels at unspecified time - though prior to mid-September[120] - he ceded management of La Unión and as a 55-year-old he joined the party militia requeté;[121] he was assigned to the Andalusian battalion named Tercio Virgen de los Reyes.

Concerned about the military pressure,[127] he opposed any negotiations about would-be merger with Falange unless future Spain were clearly declared a traditionalist monarchy; he found himself in minority.

[129] La Unión, formally owned by a private company, was not absorbed into the unificated Falangist propaganda machinery, yet it faced increased administrative pressure;[130] the 1938-adopted Ley de Prensa was intended to drive independent periodicals out of the market.

[131] Tejera was increasingly viewed by military authorities as an intransigent and dissentious skeptic; to save La Unión he resigned and formally ceded its management to a fellow Carlist Melchor Ferrer.

[133] As a dissenting Carlist who refused to engage in buildup of the national-syndicalist regime, since 1940 Tejera was subject to various administrative repressive measures;[134] they climaxed in a 3-month-long arrest of 1941,[135] possibly for confronting the Falangist tycoon, Pedro Gamero del Castilo.

[136] Unable to publish in the press, in the early 1940s Tejera formed a historiographic team with Ferrer and another Seville-based Carlist author, José F. Acedo Castilla; they embarked on the task of producing sort of an official, detailed, party-endorsed history of Carlism.

The project was envisioned on massive scale and materialised as a multi-volume series titled Historia del tradicionalismo español; until Tejera's death there were 6 volumes published.
