Gardnerville record. (Gardnerville, Nev.) 1898-1902, 1902-05-30

Congressman Newlands and his ad-
vertising newspa era are working In
harmony to get United States Sena-
torship from Nevada on the strength o1
an amendment offered by Newlands
advocating the annexation of Cuba to
the United States. There has been a
hope on the part of our Representative
IN Congress that an active participate
ion in things National would 80 furry
the good people of this State that they
would lose their heads in rushing to
the polls to send our imported million
aire to the other side of the house.
HDid you ever stop to think what thai
much heraided amendment actually
means? Did you ever imagine that In
rejoicing over tho political activity Of
his representative In Congress you
were applauding his actual political
lniquity?'~
Newlands. poses.now as a Democrat
He's back 70 the party of his first love.
He's returned to the ranks of that par
ty which over in California dissapoint-
ed and defeated him for congressional
nomination. He's now member OF
that chronic-anti-party which rails a
yainst progression, advancement, pros
perity, national growth and the expaii-
sion of territory, civilized ideas and
noble doctrines. He has taken up the
war-cry of anti-expansion; has advocat-
I'd and preached 1t throughout the
State Of Nevada; is advocating and
preaching 1t now; and win continue lto
advocate and preach ii, all through the
coming campaign. And when he gets
few Democratic cheers on the strength
of his allegiance to the anti-party, he'll
begin TO tell hIs Nevada audiences how
he advocated and preached upon the
lower floor of the House of Congress
the annexation of Cuba. II is respect.
fully submitted TO every thinking
Democrat that loyal Democratic par
tisan, as Newlands pretends to be, who
believes in non-expanslon and then,
after sanctioning a var of humanity,
,ubmits a proposition, to its rescued
sufferers, to turn its territory, its inst
tutious, Its political life over to thu
control and possession of the United
states right at the very termination o
the struggle, that such man Is de.
cidedly more pronounced advocateI
Of political and conquest than any
party In the United States would ever
iare to be.
We went to war for Cuba because we
believed In the broad doctrine of hu.
nanity. We took up arms agains'
spain because we couldn't tolerate o7.
preston at our very doors. Under 8
Republican administration we succeed.
I'd; and upon the Goth day of May w,
redeemed our National pledge and con
verted the once down-trodden possess
ion OF tyrannical power into an inde
pendent, hopeful, gladstone Republic
To suggest at the inception of thi
glorious result an annexation of tht
island is worse than actual preneditat-
ed conquest. 1t is conquest under the
guise of friendship. 1t is conquest un-
der the pretext of humanitarian motiv
es. 1t Is going to war to free Cuba anc
then gently requesting TO the Cuban:
through the instrumentallty Of Con.
gresham Newlands that we'd Hike to
take them into the family, now that
we'd weeded out their once Collection
able relatives.
Annexation might come; but IL is
not becoming for US to suggest IL AT a
time when we have placed the people
of Cuba In a social and civic condition
whereby they are enabled to carry on
an independant prosperous Republic.
1t is unbecoming for Us at time when
we hoped 70 carry out our original de
signs of war, our pledges of National
honor, our motives for international
strife. We have now done our duty
by the Cuban people. We have ear
ried out our promises. We have plac-
ed them In a condition to think and
legislate and at for themselves. Let
us not intimate just now that we hope
TO swallow them mp when we have
caused them to assume some natural
obligation to us as an intervening
power In their behalf. Let MS not
suggest by any more Newland's reso-
lutions that our possible motive was
what the Democrats have been pleased
to call and proclaim "a motive of greed
and conquest. Let us remind our
Democratic representative TO be truly
consistent Democrat. II saves un-
pleasant explanations. II Cuba wants
to become sister State he desires in
that direction will be made known to
us. The Cuban people through their
represent tatives In the Cuban Congress
