he would bag the State for the last party
to which he has recently transferred his
slippery and traitorous allegiance. The
Federal brigade met him with cordiality,
but the reception of the people was so
freezing as to affect even Stewards colos-
sal assurance. He was in Nevada about
seven days. During that time he was
exceedingly active. He went to Carson
interviewed Judge Hawley; went down
to San Francisco-interviewed the rail-
road. And at the latter place first an
nounced, in an interview in the Bulletin,
Judge Hawley's candidacy and assured
election.
He next wished to convince the Repub-
lican OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Of the wis
dom Of submitting to Stewards leader
ship, but hungry for funds-that he
would have abundant financial support;
30, on the Sunday previous to his de-
parture, he took Mr.. Lennon of the
Carson News. United States District
Attorney Summerfeld, Mr.. Parry, Sur
veyor General Kyle and a few others oil
the Republican push to Lake Tahoe, and
there they sailed around the lake in COM
pany with a prominent Southern Pacific
Company official. What passed between
Stewart and the prominent official is not
known, but one thing is known: Stewart
assured his associates that everything
was fright" that Newlands was beaten;
that Hswley was elected, sure. And
great val the jubilation Of the push.
Then he suddenly went to the East.
II has been a matter OF conjecture as to
what the motive Of his eastern trip was.
The general assumption was that his
Republican associates in this State
assured him that his ~unpopularity was
30 enormous that he would handicap the
Republican ticket in this State by his
advocacy, and that it was best for him to
absent himself from the State. The
other assumption was that he went East
for the purpose OF intervie wing the trusts.
the Republican national campaign COM
mittee and the President OF the United
States, with a view to bringing all the
forces, administrative and financial, to
the support of Hawley-and against
Newiands. Probably both assumptions
were correct. At all events, our news
paper exchanges give most amusing &C
counts of Stewards pilgrimage from the
West to the East. All along the line
wherever he has had an opportunity he
has INDUCED in q jeremiad against Mr..
Newlands. We give a few specimens.
In San Francisco he said:
Judge Hawley will be the next United
States Senator. Newlands has overdone
his booming. He claims everything for
himself-he has done it all. People don't
care anything about a busted balloon"
Then in Salt Lake he said:
II have hopes that Nevada will
go Republican this Fall. The people
out there have been out in the cold
SO long they must be getting tired of it.
Newlands can do nothing for them. New
lands has nothing to expect from Presi-
dent Roosevelt. n \
just as I was leaving Washington the
President caught me by the shoulder and
said: Stop a minute When 1 did stop
he said: I see your MIR. N~ewlands'-I
told him that he was not my Mr.. New
lands, and he said: We'll, Mr.. Newlands
has been claiming that he gave me the
facts about irrigation used in my message.
The truth is, I never discussed the subject
with him at all. If you hear he has re-
peated the statement out in Nevada tele-
graph me and I will contradict it."
We can imagine from whom this in
formation came. 1t doubtless came from
the genial William, who would hesitate at
no lie in order to injure Mr.. Newlands with
the President or any n else. The read
ers of Mr.. Newlands' interviews and
speeches know that Mr.. Newlands has
always given the President full credit for
his earnest advocacy of irrigation. The
difficulty is that the malicious Stewart
has failed in his effort to prove that the
irrigation bill was a Republican measure,
and, as he can say nothing against the bill,
he attacks the author and ~endeavors to
malign Mr.. Newlands to the President,
hoping he may thus enlist the full sup
port of the Administration in his schemes.
Then the enthusiastic Senator arrives
at Oyster Bay, where. no doubt, he again
~endeavored to fill the President full to
the brim with his nor against New
lands, for the New York papers all quote
him. The correspondents of the New
York Times, the Tribune and the Sun, at
Bay. all quote Stewart as follows:
Stewart is against Nswlands." stew
art declares that Newlands is a busted
"Stewsrt declares that the peo-
pie have no confidence in Newlands."
The New York Sun speaks OF New
lands as "The pesky Newlands who
