There are other States with similar provisions. while I think a great many of the States. in fact I know it. provide by law that a voter must be a citizen. It is all. however. a matter of State regulation as to who shall vote. and the States can do as they like about that. But the practice of imposing on the court to obtain naturalization. and in some places a practice participated in by political parties (according to my information all political parties). when elections are impending. of mustering up great crowds and hordes of these foreigners. and many of these too ignorant to know even who the President of the United States is. and running them through some sort of a naturalization mill. and taking them like dumb driven cattle to the polls and voting them. is something which ought not to be tolerated in this great American Republid of ours. I noticed in the New York papers a few days ago an account of an instance where some practices of this kind are being indulged in. Questions were put to some of these men seeking to qualify themselves as voters. on the one side or the other. according to the hands they fall into and the amount they receive. and actually one of them stated that George Washington was now the President of the United States.
Identified stereotypes
Foreigners are ignorant and easily manipulated for votes.
