I am reminded of having said that before I had closed I would indicate what I believed to be the source of the authority of the gentleman from Arkansas. and so I shall. When we came back in 1907 a man applied to our commission for employment. His name was and is James A. Patten. He was the secretary of the Immigration Restriction League. I objected to his appointment. I said that so far we had been absolutely free and open and nonpartisan. and that I wduld object as strongly to the secretary of the National Liberal Immigration League as I would to the secretary of the Immigration Restriction League. I know that James A. Patten received the information that he was not employed because of my objection.
