My constituents know that I violated the wishes of the President by favoring a prohibition of interlocking directorates in the banking act. by amendments to limit the banking boards power. by favoring a guaranty of deposits. by favoring a liberal provision for loans on farm paper. and by my position upon certain tariff schedules. My opinion of the President is of that high character that I am ready to follow him upon any question that I do not understand or that I am in doubt about. as I followed his desires on the Alaska railroad bill. because I knew nothing of the Alaskan conditions. But upon those things upon which I have convictions by my own method of discoveryand I have never been deceived nor have I ever had cause to regret my position upon any public policy which I have mastered to my own satisfaction. and I know when I have solved a problemlet me give notice now for them to get ready for more condemnation. because if the press of the country correctly speak the views of the President on the bill excluding undesirable foreign immigration. for which I voted upon Its passage in this House. I shall vote to pass it over the Presidents veto [applause] . and when the makeshift rural credit bill is brought before this House. which takes care of the large landowning farmer. but does not consider the small one or the tenant farmer. who above all others needs aid. I shall again violate the wishes of the President by offering amendnents to take care of the tenant farmer.
