I have a great deal of charity in my heart for those people who. because of what I regard as a very false teaching. believe in the practice of polygamy. and who. in accordance with that belief. did practice It In the United States.

It has been repeatedly said here that immigrants have no Godgiven or natural right to land on our shores. You propose to exclude a uan who believes in every principle of morals. who has. lived an upright life from birth until he arrives at our ports. who comes here with the intention to obey every law of this land. who is sound in body and in lmind. simply because through misfortune or for some other cause he was unable to learn to read. Now.
