I shall offer no invidious criticisms of those gentlemen. All! I wish to say is that when they propose that a man shall conform to some literacy test. my idea is that it is too narrow. I do not know how to put this the most briefly. I do not desire to occupy much space in the CONGRESSIONAL- RECORD. because the longer I stay around this body the more I believe that the. more space you occupy in the RECORD the less useful you are in. human affairs.
