I received a telegram from him dated May 7. to which I replied. His telegram and my reply were published not only in his paper. but in nearly all the principal papers of Pennsylvania. And from the time of that publication not one person has ever written to me or telegraphed me or in any manner to my knowledge raised any objection to the restriction of immigrationcertainly not one German.
