There is one other branch of this case. As argued by the gentleman from New York. [Mr. Hlscocr.] under the constitution of Florida a fordignborn person cannot vote unless he produces his naturalization papers or a copy thereof. The constitution says. in mandatory negative words. that unless you do this you shall not be allowed to vote. It providesthat he shall present. when he wishes to vote. to the persons lawfully authorized to conduct and supervise such elections a duly sealed certified copy of his declaration of intention otherwise he shall not be allowed to vote. and that any naturalized citizen offering to vote shall produce before such person lawfully authorized to conduct and supervise the election the certificate of naturalization. or a duly sealed copy thereof. otherwise he shall not be permitted to vote. Now. it is not disputed. it is not controverted by the majority. that the evidence is clear and conclusive that 74 voted for the contestant without producing those papers. Under the laws of Pennsylvania. if the name of a person oftering to vote is not on the taxlist he can vote by making his affidavit as to his age and residence.
