KEPRNi. I want to say further that in doing so I do not feel that I will be guilty of any "treachery " to this Democratic administration or Infidelity to the Democratic Party. On the contrary. this immigration bill Is distinctly a Democratic measure. having received practically the unanimous support of the Democratic Members of Congress. That my conduct in the future may not be. misunderstood. I feel that I should also state that so long as I remain a Member of this body I do not expect to be bound by any order that a Democratic caucus may adopt which is violative of the Democratic platform or contrary to my sense of obligations to my constituents. that I shall not permit anybody to prescribe my official conduct. especially If it should be done by resolutions adopted in a secret caucus behind closed doors.
