Speech #680074262

I call your attention to the fact. for instance. that the State of New York has 16 more Representatives in this Congress than all of the States west of the Rocky Mountains combined . that the State of Pennsylvania has 6 more Representatives in this body than all of the States west of the Rocky Mountains combined. and so. if we from the Pacific coast are going to be heard we must make somewhat of it noise. This afternoon gentlemen have had their thoughts focused on the eastern seaboard of the United States. and great its the problem nay be oil our east coast. In regard to immigration. I say to you as a man from the Pacific coast that we have a greater problem regarding immigration in this bill applying to time west coast than you have upon the east coast. Coming from the west of us is a nation whose desire is. by peaceful penetration. to possess the Pacific coast of North America. Let us have no misunderstanding in regard to that.
