The Parker post. (Parker, Ariz.) 1910-1918, 1911-10-21
VOTE FOR BRENNAN.

Conditions arising over the open
ing of the Colorado River reserva-
ton lands make it imperative that
Parker be represented in the first
state legislature, and we are conf
dent that when the voters of Yuma
county realize the Importance of these
lands becoming available to settle
ment they will respect Parker's de-
sire to be represented in that body.
For a number of years the people
OF Parker have worked INCREASINGLY
for the opening of the reservation.
until at the present time it can be
said that the hopes and ambitions o:
it's pioneers are on the eve of real
= ization. Surveyors are now engaged
in compiling a topographic map OF the
area which is to be allotted to tn
Indians. and upon which is to be con-
structed by the government an AIDE
quate irrigation system for the use
dian lands will undoubtedly take place
early next year, as it is the purpose
OF the department to have the irriga-
ton system installed for spring plant
ing.
The entire reservation is to be
surveyed this coming fall and winter,
and provided the first state legis-
lature enacts a suitable law to take
advantage of the national Carey Act
active work on the diversion dam at
Headgate Rock, two miles above Par
ker, will be inaugurated. Upon the
passage of such an act, the lands will
become available to settlers under
whatever conditions the Legislators
may decide upon.
The opening OF these lands will not
only be Of inestimable value to Par
ker, but their development and Guilt
walton will add millions of dollars to
the taxable wealth of the county and
state 1t is therefore obvious that
the entire county should be vitality
interested in the opening of the Colo
RADIO River reservation.
For the purpse of securing the nee
essary legislation it is, as stated
above, imperative that Parker be
represented in the legislature by &
man from this end of the county,
one whom Parker has every conf
dence in and who will devote his
best energies toward securing the
needed adoption OF laws required in
the premises.
The man selected for this impOr-
tant position by the people of this
section is Mr.. T. NJ. brennan. who,
for fifteen years. has been prominent
ly Identified with the development of
the Parker country. and probably
knows better than any other single
individual the needs of Parker and
of Yuma county in general. His cleo
ton as state representative would in
sure the opening of the reservation
lands at the earliest possible date.
and as this would benefit the entire
county and state we believe that the
citizens of the county should cast
their ballots on election day for Mr..
brennan, irrespective of party poll
tics. His nomination OH the democrat
ic- ticket is assured, as he will have
no opposition at the primary election.
Politically Mr.. brennan is progress
sive and believes in government by
the people. He is broad-minded and
liberal and would represent Yuma
county in the first state legislature
with honor to himself and great cred
it TO his constituents The electors
of the county will make no mistake
in sending Mr.. brennan to the legis-
lature. He only decided to make the
race because of the needs of Parker
and he is by no means a chronic Of
flee seeker, this being his first OF
tense.
The north end OF the county Is sol
id for brennan, and we trust that
the south end will give him hand
some majority on December p
