The platform of 1896 on which you defeated that real friend of the workingman. William J. Bryan [applause]. declared. "We demand that the immigration laws be thoroughly enforced and so extended as to exclude from entrance to the United States those who can neither read nor write." Gentlemen. did you mean that when you said it. or was it only hypocritical cant tocatch the workingmans vote? If you meant it. you have now the chance to make your promise good. If you did not mean it. you stand before the American people convicted of deliberate falsehood by your own words and deeds.
