California Interests Endorse, Tn
qualifiedly, the Newlands River
Conservation Bill.

| TO the People OF the State of
Nevada: our fellow citizens of this
great nation.
Again 1t becomes the duty of the
good people of our state to select a
representative to the Senate of the
United States.
AT no time since the advent of
your state, or any other state. into
Union nor since Washington was
President of the United States has
this country been confronted with
problems so vital to the welfare of
their safety. peace and prosperity,
than confronts this Nation at this
moment.
Fortunate, indeed, is our country
in having men who have proven, by
their craftsmanship, that a continu-
alton of our relationship with the
nations of the world shall be peace
full.
New de has been fortunate in
having fer its representative in the
upper house of Congress, Senator
Francis G. Newlands and the United
States has been equally fortunate in
having his ability and his broad
craftsmanship to aid in the delib-
erations of our most important leg
| islative conferences. Practically all
of the great measures enacted into
law, in this country, for many years
past Senator Francis G.. Newlands'
name appears as aiding in their
passage.
| No greater measure was ever Of
fered, and there is none which is of
more Importance to our country, in
securing its internal development,
than the river regulation bill that
bears his name. This measure is
understood and has been approved
by millions of our people and is be-
| ing earnestly studied by millions
more; is being advocated by thous-
ands of organizations; has been ap-
proved by many state legislatures
and its principles are being sup
ported by the foremost leaders of
our country. The principles of this
great measure will surely be consid-
cred by the present administration
at the next session of Congress.
! Practically, every state in the Union
will be benefited by the application
of the Newlands bill should it be
enacted into law. The State of Me-
vada is justly and adequately pro-
tected in conjunction with the other
states of the Pacific Coast. Under
that bill the rivers and streams in
the State of Nevada, which are a
part of, and tributary to, the Snake,
Columbia and Colorado rivers, will
receive their just treatment along
with all other rivers of California,
Oregon, Washington, Colorado and
Arizona. Likewise the great rivers
of the Middle West, which, for COM
merce are favored, and for devasta-
tion feared, will receive just con-
sideration.
The people of this Nation will, in
the future, insist on a discontinue
ance of selfish, pork barrel" appro-
priations advocated by politicians
and secured as payment for political
debts and will insist that the great
waterways of this country shall be
treated as a unit to receive the just
internal development of our great
country and that each state shall
have just consideration in an ap-
preparation sufficient and adequate
enough to care for it's waterways
from source to mouth, aiding its
people in securing greater safety,
greater wealth, greater peace and
greater prosperity through the per-
manent advancement of navigation,
irrigation, reclamation, conserva-
toin, food prevention and power de-
velopment.
There Is not a statesman in the
Nation and not newspaper of re-
pute published in the United States
