It was not. It was the present Secretary of State. As I have said. the people of California.and the Pacific.coast generally clerish no ill will toward the Asiatic at this time. and I know I speak advisedly. They admire the Japanese people and their energy and progress. In proof of this I want to say that I know of no case in California where any citizen of the Japanese Empire has been insulted or abused. or assaulted or killed because he was a Japanese. No such incident has occurred in our State except as it might have occurred between Caucasians.
