gardless Of sections Of the common
wealth. For this reason and for the
further one, that the upholding of the
national administration depended up
on support in the several states, Sem
ator Dolliver advised a united front
for all candidates of the republican
party.
At Elks' temple Senator Fairbanks
touched on irrigation, as follows:
I'VE have dealt with the important
problem of national irrigation in a
practical way. The great subject was
brought forcibly to the attention Of
congress by President Roosevelt in
his first annual message. His resi-
dence and experience in the great
arid regions of the west suggested to
him the vast possibilities Of irriga-
tion. Agreeably to his recommended
tion, the congress took up the subject
and in due time put upon the statute
books a law under the operation Of
which vast areas Of nonproductive
land will become the most productive
in our greatly favored country.

realize substantial advantages from

this state which will in good time
be brought under a degree Of cultiva

thereby largely increased. The area
Of happy homes will be enlarged. The
tax duplicates will be increased. No
body will lose under this policy. Many
will be the gamers thereby.

publican trophy. 1t is an enduring
tribute to the constructive faculty of
