This man swears that he (lid not intend to leave Johns Township. that he regarded it and retained it as his home. and yet his vote is rejected as illegal without a tithe of other evidence. Then there are four minors who had come to this country quite young. They say they were not naturalized. Now. if the father of these was naturalized. that was .enough. They say. one of them said. that his father told him two or three years before he died that he had never been naturalized. and an inference drawn from that hearsay statement. not under oath. was that the father had never been naturalized. But there was time enough in those two or three years for him to secure his naturalization. and if the father was naturalized it was sufficient if the boy was a minor at the time. Another swears lie was. or thinks he was. past 21 years of age when his father was naturalized. But he did not state what his age was or when his father was naturalized. That was the condition of some of these others. I will not take the time of the House to allude to them all.
