in session to speak out IN no uncertain
terms on that subject.
FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.
Resolved further, That a time has
come in the history of the United
States when foreign immigration should
be restricted by rigid regulation looking
to the exlusion of all undesirable immi-
grants and especially to the preserva-
ton of the purity of the Caucasian
blood against all intermixture Of the
danger thereof with other and different
strains, and we call upon the conven-
ton to express itself on this subject
REBUKE TO DELEGATES.
The names of Governor Wilson and
Congressman Underwood were mentioned
frequently during the discussion of Mr..
Alexander's amendment, and the oppo-
sition continually insisted that adoption
OF the amendment would be in substance
an Endorsement of Mr.. wilson's candidacy
as well as a rebuke to the Georgia dele
cation.
William Jennings Bryan came in for
praise as well as for bitter criticism.
Mr.. Converse of Lowndes, in opposing the
amendment assailed the Nebraskan.
Bryan is a political asset for the Re-
publican party he declared vehement-
ly. He has been playing into the hands
of the Republicans for years"
Mr. White of Screven, in voting for
the amendment, said: IF voting for this
amendment slaps anybody, he needs to
be slapped. If this is a controversy be-
tween Bryan and Murphy. I'm on the
side of Bryan"
HE'S FOR IT.
Mr.. Wilson, of Gwinnett added drolI
touch to the discussion. What want
TO know" he said lis whether this viii
indorse Uncle Woodrow? If if does. I'm
for it. I'm for anything that viii spread
the great Wilson family
Mr.. Alexander's amendment is the gist
of a resolution that he introduced on
Saturday, but which was not considered
morning, one from Congressman Rod
denbery, and one from Randolph Ander-
son, that esulted in the esolution to
which the amendment was added. The.
telegram from Congressman Roddenbery
urged the house to request that the Dem
ocratic convention protest against white
slavery. This telegram and that from
MIR. Anderson, asking the house to wait
for further facts from the convention,
were referred to a committee, and a
report was made embodying the request
in regard to the white slave traffic. No
reference TO Mr.. Anderson's resolution
was contained in the report. After the
report was submitted, Mr.. Alexander
proposed his amendment.
