TO BE A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES. In this contest the question was raised by Mr. Campbell. the contestee. that Mr. Cannon was not a citizen of the United States at the time of the election. The committee brushed that point away also and found. although there were some irregularities. while there was not a full and perfect record behind the certificate. although it was not clear upon the proof behind the certificate that his residence was such as was required bythe law when he received his certificate of naturalization. yet under the decisions they held they could not attack that certificate collaterally. and acknowledged and conceded that the question of citizenship stood upon the record in his favor. the court having so found and certified.
