We deny as fulse the Republican claim that President Roosevelt Mas the main factor in the enactment of the national irrigation law. We do not deny that President Roosevelt recoomended national irrigation, but we affirm that long years before he ever gave public utterance upon the subject, Senator Newlands was devoting time, energy and financial resources lo the work. That under his leadership in the House of Representa Representatives, - tives, Representatives, a campaign of education was conducted which shaped the way for national irrigation; thntthe essential features of the irrigation bill ns finally passed were by him and re received - ceived received tin* the approval of w**stern Senators and Represon tat Ives and of the committees of the Semite and the House before Mr. Roose Roosevelt - velt Roosevelt b'-came President, and that the bill was and 1m known as the Newlands Irrigation Rill,and that everywhere it has united the friends of Irrigation and disarmed its oppon opponents, - ents, opponents, and w«* believe it unjust and unfair lo attempt fo derive Senator Newlands of the the creditor his statesmanship. We congratulate the people of Nevada upon the impartial and aide administration of Governor John Sparks, and upon the faithful and efficient performance of duty by Fusion state officer.

We favor the building of the Panama canal but most strongly condemn the methods ad adopted - opted adopted by President R<x>sevclt in obtaining the rigid of way for the canal.

The Republican party of Nevada in Slate convention assembled reaffirms its adherence to the principles of Republi Republicanism - canism Republicanism us expressed in the national platform ami wrought into the govern government - ment government of the nation from Abraham Lin Lincoln - coln Lincoln to Theodore Roosevelt. The history of Republicanism is the parly's might mightiest - iest mightiest platform. Endorsing tiie momlnees of the national convention, we affirm that no man in public or private life in this country Is more fitted in honesty, daring, uneoinpromlalng independence, steadfastness in what he I relieves to ire right and sound judgement to guide tiie the American people in tiie fullflllment of their destiny the next four years than Theodore Roosevelt. We respectfully suggestlto the voters of Nevada that Alton Brooks Parker is too closely allied with the selfish cor corporate - porate corporate and moneyed institutions of Wall street and the lawless and predatory monopolistic, trusts of the country to quality him for the discharge <>r the duties of the olliee for which the Demo Democratieparty - cratieparty Democratieparty of the~"l lilted states has selected him. and that no language which we can frame more aptly illus illustrates - trates illustrates his disqualifications than that freely and publicly employed by j Wil William - liam William .I. Bryan, W. R. Ilearst and otlipr leading men conspicuously prominent in Democratic circles when the envir environments - onments environments of tlm Democratic Presiden Presidential - tial Presidential nominee were subject to tree and tin trammeled discussion. NATIONAL IRRIGATION. We congratulate tire people of the Stale of Nevada upon the passage of the national irrigation law which will ul ultimately - timately ultimately reclaim the arid lands of tiie west,and which will within a few years transform the desert wastes ot Nevada Into fruitful homesteads. We assert that the attempt to usurp the credit ol this great act for'ono man Is a travesty on fact and Justice. To tho thousands of western citizens who have agitated this subject, to tin' western Senators and <'ongressnieii who for twenty-five yoaiB have persistently urged and fought for irrigation legislation and to the engineers who have measured western streams and threaded the mountains and deserts to learn the possibilities of storage and reclamation we give due anil generous credit and the fulness of our gratitude. Rut above all we declare I lint the ringing and insistent recommendation of Theo Theodore - dore Theodore Roosevelt tlint t'oiinress consider lids subject was responsible for tiie crystalization of all theories and plans into the hill known us the National li rlgation Law, which was ITnim-d and agreed to by all the western Senators and <'ongressnieii, and introduced simult simultaneously - aneously simultaneously in Hie Senate and House and which would have failed in the House had not Theodore Roosevelt IInaily brought bis great Influence to hoar to seen rq its passage.

It has under Theodore Roosevelt submitted arbitration, as in -he coal strike, for the bullet and bayo bayonet - net bayonet of the last Democratic administra administration - tion administration in its settlement of the Pullman strike. Promising little, performing much, it has been the true and tried 1 rieml of both capital and labor, whom it holds as equal and concordant parts of the nation's industrial economy. The Republican party will not support capi capital - tal capital in oppression nor labor in violence. It recognizes organized labor as the unity of industrial action, striving to secure a more equitable distribution of the fruits of industry. It is tho trusted ally of liotli capital and labor; for capital in tho thing* which are essential to the succsssful government of enterprises, and with labor in its crusade for reason reasonable - able reasonable hours at the highest wages issnsis issnsistoiit - toiit issnsistoiit with the successful conduct of business. In this State it favors eight hours labor upon all public works and as the legal work day in mines, quartz mills and smelters, and will uphold legislation giving it proper and equitable force ami effect, STATE INSTITUTIONS.
