Mr. President. the object of my amendment is to limit the number of people who shall be counted for the purpose of arriving at a basis for representation in the Congress of the United States to those who are citizens of the United States and to exclude from that count those people who have come here and have never signified in any way their interest in this Government sufficiently to become naturalized. The object of the amendment is to reserve the American Government for those who have faith in the Nation. I wish to say. in the opening of my address. that according to the esthnates which have been made my own State will lose two Representatives.
