This section was made part of the organic law of California that Californians might voice their inflexible insistence upon occidental and not oriental standards of right living and morality. What was true when this section of the constitution was adopted is true now. Our patriotism in this regard begins in defending the sacredness of our homes and ends in upholding the honor of the Nation of which we are a part. I am emphatically in favor of the exclusion of Asiatics. American labor is dignified. intelligent. and progressive. In the last analysis it is the great constructive energy of our Republic.
