Mr. President. It will be noted from the memorandum which has been submitted that back in 1932 Senator REED said in relation to the Commissioner of Immigration of the Port of New Orleans that if it were an office to be exercised wholly within the State of Louisiana. the objection of the Senator would be conclusive. Senator Bingham said: When a Senator from a sovereign State stands up on the floor of the Senate and states that a nominee is not fit to hold a certain office. is personally obnoxious to him. it Is my duty to vote with him. In 1938 the nomination of the collector of internal revenue was being considered and Senator Holt registered the objection that he was personally obnoxious to him. stating that the nominee said his father ought to be lined up against the white wall and shot.
