In the LowreyWhite case. Mr. White simply swore that he had been naturalized. There was no legal evidence on that subject that could have been introducedin a court. but this House. rising above technical rules. reaching out and exercising its constitutional right to judge of the evidence in the case. took Mr. Whites sworn statement that he had been naturalized. in lieu of a record. I may not come back to this point again. so I desire to say a few words now on the nature and character of the defense presented here on the part of the contestee. The cry has gone forth. and has been repeated continuously from the day this case opened. that the Memphis depositions were taken without notice.
