Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1904-11-20

claim that President Roosevelt was
the main factor in the enactment ~
te National Irrigation Law. We "a
not deny that President Roosevelt
recommended National Irrigation, but
we affirEl that long years before he
ever gave public utterance upon the
subject Senator New1ands was de-
voting his time, energy and financial
resources to the work That under
his leadership in the House of Rep
resentatiyes a campaign of education
was conducted which shaped the way
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 Representative 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 mat 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.
