I would say. however. that in some of the work here. and especially the work which he as a member was most interested in. I was closely associated with him. He was chairman of the Committee on Immigration. of which I was a member. and I had occasion in the work of that committee to know him somewhat intimately. and especially to know something of the way in which he performed his public duty. I was impressed with the great care and conscientiousness with which he did his work. He was. as members know. a firm believer in the policy of restricting immigration. He gave a great deal of his time while a member of this House and a great deal of ability as well to that single subject. he made the most elaborate preparation upon it. and it was an occasion of sorrow to him that he did not finally secure the passage of the bill he had so long advocated. His successor in this body has feelingly alluded to the sorrow which he appeared to have suffered.
