Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1904-11-06

claim that President Roosevelt vas
the main factor in the enactment "
te National Irrigation Law. We a.
not deny that President Roosevelt
| recommended National Irrigation, but
| we afirn 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
| resent atives a campaign OF education
was conducted which shaped the way
I for National Irrigation; that the es-
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
its opponents, and we believe it un-
just and unfair to attempt to deprive
Senator Newlands Of the credit of his
craftsmanship.
STATEHOOD FOR TERRITORIES.
