More than 27 per cent of the population of our State are foreigners. We have the Jew. the Italian. the Norwegian. the Swede. the Frenchman. the Englishman. and the Irishman. and all of these are honest. Godfearing citizens. as good as you or I. Our State. although the third smallest in area. ranks. I believe. eighth in the value of her manufactured products. We need the immigrants to cultivate our soil. to work in our shops. our mills. and our manufacturing establishments. This is practically the same bill that has been vetoed by two PresidentsCleveland and Taftand should this bill pass may we not hope for another veto?
