The question of immigration is Of vital In
terest to this country. In the year ending
June 30 1905. there came to the United States

In the single year that has just elapsed there
came to this country a greater number OF
people than came here during the 1863 years OF
our Colonial life which interviewed between the
hrst landing at jamestown and the Declara-
ton OF Independence. II is clearly shown in
the report OF the Commissioner General Of
immigration that while ml.ch OF this enormous
immigration is undoubtedly healthy and natur-
al, considerable proportion is undesirable
from one reason or another; moreover, con
SIDERABLE proportion Of it. probably a very
Iaise proportion, inSudiug most OF the uudc-
siraole class. does not come here OF its own

Federal Elections.

In my last annual message l said
The power OF the Government to protec t
the integrity OF the elections OF its own ofn-
cials is inherent and has been recognized
and affirmed by repeated declarations OF the
Supreme Court. There is enemy of free
government more dangerous and none so
insidious as the corruption OF the electorate.
No one defends or excuses corruption, and
1t would seem to follow that none would
oppose vigorous measures TO eradicate ii.
recommend the enactment OF a law directed
against bribery and corruption in Federal
elections. The details OF such a law may
be safely left to the wise discretion of the
Congress. but II should go as far as under
the Constitution it is possible TO go, and
should include severe penalties against him
who gives or receives bribe intended to
influence his act or opinion an elector,
and provisions for the publication not only
OF the expenditures for nominations and
elections OF all candidates but also Of all
contributions received and expenditures made
by political committees"
desire to repeat this recommendation. In
political campaigns in a country as large
and popuous ours it is inevitable that
there should he much expense of an entirely
leg innate kind. This of course. means that
many contributions and some of them of
large size. must be made. and. a matter
CT fact. in any big political contest such
contrib lutions are always made to both sides
1t Is entirely proper both TO give and re-
ceive them, unless there is an improper
tive connected with either gift or reception.
IL they are extorted by any kind of pressure
or promise. express or implied direct in
direct, in the way OF favor or immunity.
then the giving or receiving becomes not
only improper hut criminal. 1t will un-
be difficult matter OF prac-
tical detail to shape act which shall
guard with reasonable certainty against such
but IL II is possible to secure
by law the full and verified publication In
detail Of all the sums contributed TO and
by the candidates committees of
any political parties the result cannot but

ations to any political committee for any
political purpose should be forbidden by
law. directors should not be permitted to
