Now. Mr. Speaker. this matter has been voted upon by both Houses of Congress. One House voted before the election and another since the election. and an overwhelming majority of both bodies was in favor of some measure restricting immigration. I would say. sir. that there is no division between the two great parties on this question. The. Republican national convention and the Democratic national convention united in demanding some measure of restriction. and if we desire to have restriction we should vote down first the motion of the gentleman from Missouri . to shelve the whole thing and practically destroy it by referring it to a nonprivileged committee. and then we should vote for the motion of the gentleman from Ohio . which sends it immediately to conference. out of which legislation will spring.
