The Courier. (Genoa, Nev.) 1899-1904, 1902-08-22

Stop minute.' When I did stop he
said: i see your Mr.. Newlands'-I
told him that he was not my Mr. New
lands, and he said: We'll, Mr. New
lands 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 repeated the state
ment out in Nevada telegraph me and
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 iniure
Mr.. NeWlands with the President or
anyone else. The readers of Mr.. New
lands 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 irriga-
ton bill was Republican measure,
and, as he can say nothing against the
bill, he attacks the author and endeav-
ors to malign Mr.. Newlands to the
President, hoping he may thus enlist
the full support of the Administrator
in his schemes.
Then the enthusiastic Senator an
rives at Oyster Bay, where, no doubt,
he again endeavored to fill the Presi-
dent full to the brim with his venom
against Newlands, for the New York
papers all quote him. The correspond
ents of the New York Times, the 1ri-
6une and the Stu, at Oyster Bay, all
quote Stewart as follows: "Stewart is
against Newlands." Stewart declares
that Newlands is busted balloon"
"Stewart declares that the people of
Nevada have no confidence in New
lands"
The New York Sun speaks of New
lands as "The pesky Newlands who
stands in Stewards way,n and says:
"Mr. Stewards ostensible reason for
coming to Oyster Bay was to talk irri-
CATION to the President. The pesky
Newlands has had the cheek to go be-
fore the people of Nevada and say that
he, Newlands, forced Congress to pass
the only effective irrigation law that
ever got on the statute books. Mr..
Stewart thinks he can lick Mr.. New
lands, but would not reject executive
offers of assistance"
Then the Senator turns up in Wash
ington. Doubtless he proposes to APP
peal to the Republican National Com
mittee and the Republican Congress
sional Committee for funds. There he
is freely interviewed by all the papers,
again, his subject is ''Newlands, New
lands, ,-Newlands who has no politics
-Newiands who has no party-New-
lands who is everything to all men,
1t is amazing how much trouble
Stewart takes with busted balloon,
and with a man who has lost the con-
fidence of Nevada.
And then, how remarkable the con-
trast of his utterances regarding Judge
Hawley: 'Hawley is the peer of the
leading senators of the United States"
"Hawley is the idol of the people of
Nevada" 'They regard him as one of
them" "He did not go there to seek
his Office, but became resident of the
State of Nevada at an early date"
And so it goes. Stewart becomes a
"Home Ruler;" Stewart objects to
Newlands because he has only resided
here fourteen years. Stewart ap-
plauds Hawley because he is an old
resident Hawley, according to Stew
art, is the idol of the Nevada people,
The purpose of all this is very clear
Stewart knows that the people of the
East regard Nevada as forever op-
posed to Republican policies and can
didates. He is beating the tomtoms
with view to inspiring himself and
the party leaders in the East with con-
fidence, and his hope is to bring all
administrative, trust and monopolistic
forces to work in behalf of his scheme;
not to elect Hawley, but to secure
eleven hold-over senators for himself.
