Debating irrigation paternity in the 1900 election
The author argues the Newlands bill created the national irrigation policy, praise for Democratic leadership, and Roosevelt’s support for a measure framed by a Democrat. He contrasts parties, notes Western unity for irrigation, and warns against equating irrigation progress with party labels.
