Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1904-11-03


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
resentatives a campaign of education
was conducted which shaped the way
/ 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 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 Newlands Irrigation
Bill and that everywhere it has united
| the freinls 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.
! STATEHOOD FOR TERRITORIES.
We aagin demand the immediate
admission os seperate states of Ok

admission
