I take it to be the duty of the lawmakers to create conditions under which people can be happy and contented. Because I love the people. because I want to see them happy and contented. because I want social conditions so arranged that every honest man shall have the opportunity to earn an honest living by honest work. because I love my country. because I love my countrys flag so long as that flag represents justice. equality of opportutunity for the people. and the integrity and sanctity of the American home. I favor this measure and I consider these reasons ample for giving my hearty support to the most drastic law againI Chinese immigration here proposed. [Loud applause.]
