But that is the system of all free governments. We must go through it. and we do not wish to depart from it. if I understand the feeling of the American people. Now the candidates for naturalization are before the cohrt and you surround the court with these supervisors. as many as the chief supervisor chooses to send there. You follow the candidate up to the clerks desk when he takes the oath. You look over his shoulder. You examine his voucher. They are all men of one political faith. sent there precisely as the agents of the political committees are sent there. and actuated by the same motives. We all know that in conducting a campaign the State committees have a subcommittee on naturalization. who look out for the men who they think will vote their ticket. and they aid them to get their naturalization papers. These zealous partisans in the cities go up to the courts and see the men through the process. Here you are paying men out of the Treasury of the United States to do this in the interest of one political party.
