Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1904-10-25

| claim that President Roosevelt Wa
| the main factor in the enactment u
/, te National Irrigation Law. We d
not deny that President Roosevelt
recommended National Irrigation, but
we affirm that long years before he
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
resertatives a campaign Of education
was conducted which shaped the way
for National Irrigation; that the es- !
sential features of the irrigation Oil
IS 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 un-
just and unfair to attempt to deprive
Senator Newlands of the credit Of his
craftsmanship.
STATEHOOD FOR TERRITORIES.
