If you assume that that much might happen. as you know it has happened in cases I shall illustrate in a moment. you realize. therefore. that the expression "to the satisfaction of these individuals" only gives to this particular administrative court a form of discretion to wholly avoid the provision. or they will comply with it in such a reckless manner as to have it amount to absolutely nothing whatever as an embargo or limitation. Now I will assume that our honorable opponents are in power and it is those who come from the northern countries. from the Germanic Provinces. where it is assumed that they are inclined more to a centralized form of government than to a republic. Will my honorable opponents on the other side doubt for a minute that the same human nature on the part of their commissioner will be that which has been evidenced and evinced by mine. that as to these northern nationalities who are making their way to those States that are distinctively Republican. or which he fancies will be done. knowing that inclination of the past. will not find it most agreeable to be quite satisfied with any kind of representation of reading. knowing that politically they will contribute a great deal so soon as naturalized? Again. will any one of these commissioners hesitate to grant every form of latitude rather than offend the particular element of nationality the same as these applicants. wherever they are. who are voters already. and thus run the risk of having themselves left in disfavor by their party leadersthose responsible foil their appointment? We are human. we know that human nature is strong for selfpreservation and that such would be the result.
