Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1904-12-01

claim that President Roosevelt was
the naia factar in the enactment a
to National Irrigation Law. We a.
not deny that President Roosevelt
recommended National Irrigation, but
We affirEi 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
resentatives campaign Of education
was conducted which shaped the way
| for National Irrigation: that the es-
! sential features Of the irrigation Oil
as finally passed we're 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
| its opponents, and We believe it IN
| just and unfair to attempt to deprive
! Senator NewIands of the credit of his

| STATEHOOD FOR TERRITORIES.
We aagin demand the immediate

alahoma, Indian Territory, New Mex
leo and Arizona and condemn the mar
row Eastern craftsmanship of the Rep
ublican Party in denying them such
