I believe we should invite enterprise and capital. For my part. I am for " throwing wide open the doors of the Republic to every immigrant who comes here in good faith to help us work out the great problem of selfgovernment. But I am utterly opposed to the ownership of real estate in this country by aliens. and will never give my vote for it. Today one of the greatest evils in all the Western country is the practice that has grown up of foreign syndicates and foreign capitalists monopolizing a large extent of territory by getting possession of the watercourses and shutting out the people of the United States who come as actual settlers.
