It will go out of this House like the evil spirit out of the man described In Holy Writ. It will pass through the dry places of the other end of the Capitol and the conference room. and. having taken unto itself seven or more other spirits. probably more wicked than itself. will return to us in the (lying hours of this session. and. like the man in the Scriptures. our last state will be worse than the first. I am much opposed to unrestricted immigration. I am in favor of every fair restriction that is founded upon sound economic or social prihciples. I favor a physical test that will keep out imbeciles. epileptics. diseased persons. weaklings. and any others that will tend to lower our race in physical strength and vitality.
