If it is postponed. it will be postponed by the action of. the majority of the Senate. and. the Democratic majority will be heldl responsible for such postponement before the people. of the country. and I will have a right to say in the campaign. if this. legislation is. not enacted. that the sole reason why it was not enacted was because of the action of the Democratic majority in the Senate. which would not permit it to be considered. Then we may inquire as to what the reasons were that actuated the Democratic majority in postponing the consideration of this legislation. I would have to state that. in my judgment. the great majority of the Democrats of the Senate. as well. as of the House of Representatives. are in favor- of the immigration bill and that they did. not let it come up. simply because they were told not to do so by the. President of the United -States. in other words. that their candidate for the Presidency is so unalterably opposed to. immigration legislation that he not only heretofore vetoed it officially but that now he absolutely throttled the majority and prevented. their. taking action -upon it. If you- want to get yourselves in an- attitude. of that character. of course I am not responsible. it is "not my funeral ". but I do. not like. to see legislation- of this -character dealt with in that way. If it brings political benefit to. you to pass it. well and good.
