That is where these heresies emanate from. and I hope that the entire proposition will be voted down. I want to say here and now. as far as I anf concerned. that I am against the Cullop amendment and against the amendment of the Senate also. I represent a rural district where most of my constituents are a lomeowning and homeloving people. and from not one of them have I had a request for Belgian immigrants. Most of them are poor. but they do not want to see their country overrun and their lands taken from their children by a horde of aliens who have no sympathy with our manners nor with the traditions of our fathers. Let no Juggernaut of greed and commercialism crush out the independence of our people. I hope to see the immigration bill become a law. but whether it passes or not. so long as my people intrust me with their commission I expect to stand here and fight back such propositions as this. In the name of the I farmers and of the laborers In the industries of -my district I protest against it.-
