That is a real argument. I do not think it is an argument that affects the merits of the question. but it is a real and not a mock argument. There is something to be said upon this point on both sides. It is erroneous. in my judgment. to suppose that the mass of the American people object to the literacy test. I think it is shown by their constitutions and their laws that they do not. But I do not think we ought to decide this question quite in that way by our guesses at the number of votes involved.
