We want all the races that are not akin to ours to be excluded if they are liable to come to our shores in large numbers. We are perfectly willing that the students. the travelers. the scien-. tific men. and business men of Japan. and all the Orient shall be allowed to come to this country freely. We have no objection to this. and many would have no objection to the laborers coming. only that we know if they are allowed to come it means that the Pacific coast would soon be submerged and overwhelmed by oriental immigration. just as the Hawaiian Islands have been overwhelmed. That is the reason why. upon every possible occasion. we are insisting upon provisions of some kind that will take care of us. I want to say.
