I ask the Senator whether he has ever looked into the extremely narrow test of witing which is applied here? The immigrant has to read "not less than twenty nor more than twentyfive words of said Constitution." Those words will be before him on a slip. and all he will have to do after reading them will be to take a pen or apencil and write outthat is. copy. in factthos3 twenty or twentyfive words. Does the Senator think that is such a severe requirementthat whether it is retained or stricken out should make the difference with him as to how he will vote on this bill?
