Then. in further answer to my friend. I will state that in the Fiftyfourth Congress this very proposition passed the House. passed the Senate. and went to the President of the United States. but he vetoed it. and the House then passed it by a twothirds vote over his head. and it went to the Senate where it failed of the required vote. Subsequently. when Senator LODGE was chairman of the Senate Committee on Immigration. this very proposition was presented and passed. Subsequently. when Senator FAIRBANKS. from my own State. was chairman of the Committee on Immigration of the Senate. this very proposition was presented to that body and passed. Now. what right has the gentleman from Ohio to assume. when this measure has passed the Senate once when it was Democratic and twice when it was Republican. that the proposition as now stated would not pass the United States Senate?
