But citizens are not required to be naturalized by State laws. that is Federal. The State of Massachusetts requires two years. They must be there for seven years. not as in ours. Ours is a regulation for registration and as to taxation. All these propositions are restrictions upon the right of suffrage and they are antirepublican and antidemocratic. and the sooner the country gets to understand precisely what the damaging.effects of these provisions are. and how far they aid to destroy usthe better it will be. Ibelieve in what the republican party assumed to teach. universal suffiage. and I believe in honestly attaining that point.
