canism as expressed in the national

We respectfully suggest la the voters
Of Nevada that Alton Brooks Parker ls
too closely allied with the selfish cor
porate and moneyed institutions of Wall
street and the lawless and predatory
monopolistic trusts of the country To
qualify him for the discharge of the
/ duties Of the Office for which the Demo-
craticparty of the United States has
selected him, and shat no language

irates his isqualifications than that

trammeled discussion.
NATIONAL IRRIGATION.
We congratulate the people of the
State Of Nevada upon the passage of the
national irrigation law which will nl-
timately reclaim the arid lands of the
west, and which will within a few wears
transform the desert wastes of Nevada
/ into fruitful homesteads. We assert
mat the attempt TO usurp the credit OF
mis- great act for one man is travesty
on fact and justice. To the thousands OF
Western citizens who have agitated this
subject. To the western Senators and
congressman who for twenty-five yeafs
have persistently urged and fought foi
irrigation legislation and to the engineers
FWho have measured western streams
ana threaded the mountains and deserts
20 ieafn The possibilities of storage and
reclamation we give due and generous
eledlt and the fitness of our gratitude
nu, above all we declare that the ringing
anu inslstent recommendation of Theo
e uose roosevelt that Congress consider
us subject was responsible for the
eIysmlizatlon of all theories and plans
mIo me bill known as the National Ir-
gslion Law, which was framed and
xieeu 10 by all the western Senators and
.ongresslnen, and introduced simult-
ahnesously In the Senate and House and
rn,ch would have failed in the House
hau not Theodore Roosevelt finally
brought his great influence TO bear
Insecure lis passage.
