Is it inconceivable to the gentleman from Pennsylvania that anybody can be liberal and unprejudiced? It is quite in keeping with his narrow intellectual vision on this question that he should attempt to interject personalities of a racial nature into this debate. But I say to him to have a care how he exhibits his hostility to the Irish. the Germans. the Poles. the Scandinavians. and the other naturalized citizens who form so large a proportion of the population in his own State of Pennsylvania. By his whole attitude on this floor he has attacked the Irish. he has attacked the Germans. he has attacked the Poles. he has attacked the Italians and every other people that have come here to seek the liberty which his own immigrant forefathers sought in the same way but a few decades ago. And I commend to the voters of Pennsylvania his gubernatorial canvass. They will doubtless elect a man whose political vision is circumscribed by the bounds of his racial prejudice.
