With all the time and opportunity offered they have not put a single bill through which looks tb excluding undesirables. although promises have been profuse. An apparently sincere fight was made two years ago. when the gentleman from Alabama abused Republicans. characterizing them as hypocrites and worse. but when he comes in full control himself. as indicated recently by the Democratic leader. he does nothing and gets nothing done in response to the call heard from every quarter of the country. The misrepresentation of me. whether designedly or not. in regard to Chinese immigration is shown by the facts in the case. In section 3 of the bill I introduced is a provision which would have better excluded the Cjiinese than they are now. There is an illiteracy test in that section that could have been made to help do the work also. There are other provisions in that section as well as the one debarring absolutely all who can not be naturalized. The bill I introduced. which the gentleman in a far cry has tried to find a petty fault or two with. would have kept out the Chinese. and this has been so stated to me in correspondence I had with the State Department. but which. owing to the injunction of the department. I can not make public.
