I think there are Senators who are afraid of shadows. They are afraid they will get hurt at home if they vote against the bill. When Mr. Taft was President. and that billthe same bill we now have--was here. I spoke against It. I explained why I was against it. In the main I approved of its provisions. but I was unwilling to vote for -the bill with the socalled literacy test in it. and so I voted against it. and when Mr. Taft vetoed it and sent It back to us. I voted against passing it over his veto.
