Mr. President. in the absence of the Senator from West Virginia . who is chairman of the committee. I think it is only fair that I should make a statement as to why this nomination was favorably reported by the committee. I myself never heard of the man or the appointment until it was brought up in the last meeting of the Immigration Committee. I do not know the man. I know nothing about his merits or demerits. and I do not want it thought that this is a matter in which I am particularly interested. The statement was made to us by the Senator from West Virginia at this committee meeting that he had a great volume of testimony favorable to this man who is nominated. that the only thing against him was the personallyobnoxious objection made by the Senator from Louisiana .
