claim that President Roosevelt was
the main factor in the enactment III
tie National Irrigation Law. We %
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
Tesentative3 a campaign Of education
was conducted which shaped the way
I 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 Representative and Ct
the committee of the Senate and the
House before Mr.. Roosevelt became
President and the bill was and is
Bill and that everywhere it has united
the friends Of Irritation and disarmed
! its opponents, and we believe it un-
! just and unfair to attempt to deprive
! Senator Newlands of the credit Of his
| craftsmanship.
