So we are to be pardoned if wedo not take exactly the same view he holds. . . - My friend the Senator just said that he wanted men.in this country who were intellectually fit. Great God. our Satesprisons are filled with men and women intellectually fit. Every 1914. - ..... .. crook aid vagabond could stand your literacy test and your best exi imination. I do not think that proves anything at all. I sat here and listened to the eloquent tongue of the junior Senator from Georgia . He talked about the horde as the scum of the earth. We have been receiving immigrants for many years in this country. and we have had so small a percentage of what we could term horde and scum that It Is Infinitesimal. It comes with Ill grace for a Senator in this free. democratic land. that hangs out the latchstring to the downtrodden and oppressed of all the world. to talk about horde and scum. Thank God. my grandfather came from France and my mother. who bore me. can directly from Germany.
