I stood up for the protection of American citizens who were held without charge of crime and demanded their release. and before I left Congress I carried that through. so that the three great nations of the world. the United States. England. and Prussia or Germany. declared that American naturalized citizens should have the same protection as those of native birth.

I raised my voice above the din. and stated that I myself had brought that measure in. and that I had carried it through.
