White is a perjurer and his two witnesses are perjurers. or else he went to the proper court and made the requisite proofs in order to secure the rights of citizenship. Mr. Speaker. when I turn to the testimony of those who attempt to contradict him I am but the more confirmed in the belief that he did this. for though this matter was sprung upon him but two or three days before the election and withoutany notice in advance. he at once said. "I have my naturalization papers. I am a citizen." There was nohesitancyno dodging of the issue. When it is suggested to him. "You must not only have your first papers. but your second papers."1hesays. "Iknowthat. andI havethem." When it was stated to him. "The records of the court show the issue of no papers to you. may you not have obtained them elsewhere? " does he like a dishonest man try to catch at this straw?
