Third reading set for Saturday
Rep. Robertson-I move that the Ju-
1iciary Committee be instructed to pre-
sent bill looking toward the repeal
0f the Registration law. The Execu-
i've, l understand, is in favor of doing
away with the thumb mark. The OBJ
lections raised against the law go fur
her than the thumb mark The oppo-
nents of the law will not be satisfied
with the elimination of that alone. /
believe that the House did perfectly
light in passing the bill, the conditions
we're such that we needed that kind of
law. 1t was not for the protection of
| class of people to which we belong.
'ut to class of people who are thrown
nto competition with Asiatics. These
cry people for whom the law was made
re now the most strenuous opponents
o its provisions. If they don't want.
7hy we don't want it. A very large
art of the community objects to It.
o make it successful, it must needs
ave the support of the intelligent peo-
lie. The objections are so numerous
nd go so far, and the objectors are SO
lany that when the first of August
ONES we will find but few people have
egistered. The law will become a
cad letter and will lose it's force do
OF think we will be eating crow by any
leans in repeating the law. If we find
nat the people for whom the law was
lade object to it, why it is perfectly
ght and proper for us to repeal IL.
Rep. Richards agree with Rep.
robertson on some points, but on
theirs | do not. The law has been be-
)re the people since 1892. They were
/ favor of it in the beginning. The
'Ouble is just here. WOuld-be political
.aders are agitating the matter of OBJ
9ct1on to the law and are using il as
owder for their political guns. Some
eople have gone so far as to tell the
atives they are committing themselves
/ allegiance to the Government if they
1T their thumb marks on their regis
alton papers. Between now and the
rst of August these political leaders
i'll have spent their force and people
i'll begin to see the wisdom of the
wv. | introduced this bill and had no
articular interest in it. Since that
me / have heard no objections to il
ntil just within the past two or three
eeks. L have been able to find but
cry few objections. A great many
eople have not registered not because
ley have not wanted to, but because
ley have been told the law is to be re-
ealed. / think the law is a popular
