Our first duty is to the people of the United States. Without elaborating my views. I know that the unanimous sentiment of the people of California. and I am justified in adding the unanimous opinion of the people of all the Pacific Coast States. is that it is not for the economic or the social welfare of our people to permit the further coming of Asiatic races to the United States. If there was any one particular reason why California loved James G. Blaine. of Maine. it was because that plumed knight early saw the danger of Chinese immigration and championed the cause of California. and that immigration was checked and stopped entirely. If it had not been checked. millions of Chinese would be in California and other Western States today. We opposed the coming of ChineseI repeat my thoughtnot because we hated China. that ancient people. but because we had first regard for the welfare. economic and social. of our own people. and because we knew they could never become citizens. that they would owe allegiance to their native land. that their children born here would be citizens. and that that would bring about the embarrassment of the father and mother owing allegiance to a foreign country and their children owing allegiance to the United States.
