Unlike my Republican opponent. I openly declared my hostility toward communism and successfully defeated the Communist candidate. Earl Browder. by an overwhelming majority. While the deportation of alien Communists would improve my political position. what I have to consider here. however. is not what is the easy way for me. which is to vote with the majority. but what is the proper way for me to act on this bill even though it be not the way of the majority. If it were consonant with American principles. American traditions. American democracy. to deport a single individual upon ex parte accusations.
