Mr. Speaker. the eloquent gentleman from Massachsetts has read my speech much better than I delivered it here a year ago. At that time I was pleading with gentlemen here to stand hy the President in his controversy with a foreign country and today I am pleading with the Meibers of this House to protect the people of the United States from the deadly evil of undesirable immigrants now coming in from foreign countries. Mr. Speaker. I regret to have to differ with the President on this allimportant question. but gentlemen will remember that I voted to pass this same bill over the veto of President Taft and nearly four years ago I voted to pass it over President Wilsons veto. so wvhen I vote tonight to pass this bill over the Presidents veto.
