They claim that Italy Is mistreated. and I hope every man and woman within the sound of my voice will realize that I have no prejudice against the Italian people. none whatever. I have some of the finest people In Portland. Oreg.. of the Italian race. I have some of the finest people in Oregon of every race. and some of my best friends are from those respective nationalities. The charge has been nade that I. as a member of the Immigration Committee. have seen fit to discriminate against the southern part of Europe. I deny the charge. Now. the census of 1910 discloses that Italy has 1.343.125 of the total European population in the United States In 1910.
