Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1904-10-21

claim that President Roosevelt Was
tho main factor In the enactment "
to National Irrigation Law. We a.
not deny that President Roosevelt
recommended National Irrigation, but
we affirm that long years before hs
ever gave public utterance upon the
subject Senator Newlands was de-
voting his time, energy and financial
resources to the work. That under
his leadership in the House of Rep
resentatives a campaign of education
was conducted which shaped the way
for National Irrigation; that the 60
sential features of the irrigation oil
as finally passed were framed by him
and received the approval of Western
Senators and Representatives and CT
the committee Of the Senate and the
House before Mr.. Roosevelt became
President and the bill was and IS
known as the Newland's Irrigation
Bill and that everywhere it has united
the friends of Irritation and disarmed
it's opponents and we believe it IN
| just and unfair to attempt to deprive
! Senator Newlands of the credit of his
| craftsmanship.
| STATEHOOD FOR TERRITORIES.
We aagin demand the immediate
h. admission os seperate states of Ok
alahoma, Indian Territory, New Mex

admission.
