House Vote, 2S6 to los.

The iiteracy test, written to keep
down the flow of immigration from
foreign countries to the United States,
and President Wilson's veto of the i'm
migration bill containing this test was
overridden by a vote of 2S6 to 106.
1t was the fourth time IN twenty
wears Congress has had the opportG-
nifty to carry the bill above the Presi-
dents refusal to sign it. Once during
the Cleveland administration, once in
the Taft administration and once be
fore in the present administration has
the President refused to sign a bill
barring entrance to this country to
people of foreign lands who are una
BILE to show a certain amount of educa-
ton.
In 1915 after President Wilson had
vetoed the same bill, the House en-
deavored to pass it over his refusal to
sign, but lacked four votes of the nee
essary two-thirds, and the Senate did
not reconsider the matter at all
Since then sentiment in the House
has been accommodating in favor of the
literacy test and sharper restrictions
upon immi grafton, and the House yes
terday showed twenty-five votes to
spare. Party lines were thrown aside
in the vote to override the veto. Votes

reflected entirely the character of the

It on easy terms to certain Of her ciu-

they had thus suffered, the lands par
