not deny that President Roosevelt i
recommended National Irrigation, but !
we affirEl 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 a campaign Of education
was conducted which shaped the way
for National Irrigation; that the ea-

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
Bin 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.
