Speech #640201426

I have done so. I have done so this very week. It was easy for tie Senator frol Missouri to vote against the consideration of an immigration bill ol the floor of the Senate when his attitude has always been against it. But my attitude has always been in favor of till immigration bill. I believe in it from my heart. I have voted for it a number of tihes. I voted to pass the immigration bill over President Tafts veto and I voted to pass the immigration bill over President Wilsons veto. and I would do it again if I had anopportunity. When I went into a caucus that my colleagues said was binding and they took the responsibility and placed it oil the Democratic Party of saying that they would not take up an immigration bill at this session of Congress. I unwillingly accepted the result. but I accepted it. I was invited into a conference oil tills bill.
