My people are asking it. And I feel that I can not vote for a bill in so incomplete a form as this now is. We should pass such a billand I believe the people of this country demand its passagethat our American workmen should have protection from the competition of immigrant labor first. and then. if there is anything left overif we need development in this country. if our lands need population. after our American citizens have been satisfied and taken care ofpass such a bill that immigrants can come he e if they show proper qualifications. But so long as one of our citizens looks for work in vainso long as his place is filled by a foreigner. just so long our citizen workmen have a right to say that they are misgoverned and that our Republican party have a pledge unfulfilled. I am in favor of sending this bill to the conference committee and getting from them a protective immigration bill that will protect our workmen to the fullest extent.
