Now. I assert as a proposition of law that no man had a right to vote in the Territory of Montana at that election simply on a declaration of intention to become a citizen of the United States. and I assert further that no man had a right to vote who took that oath before a clerk of a court away from his office or a deputy clerk of a court away from his office. There are two statutes upon the subject. and I ask the attention of lawyers on the other side of the Chamber. who are generally. whatever question is before the Senate. good listeners. to the fact that under Title XXXthe naturalization lawit is provided: SEC. 2165. An alien may bo admitted to become a citizen of the United States in the following manner. and not otherwise. This relates simply to the manner in which an alien may become a citizen of the United States. not to the manner in which he shall become a voter in a Territory.
