There are no such guaranties in the Constitution. That I may be sure I do not misquote the Senator. I will read what he says: The fifteenth amendment provides that all citizens shall be entitled to the right of suffrage. being supplementary to the fourteenth amendment. which provides that all persons born and naturalized in this country and subject to its jurisdiction shall be citizens. The fifteenth amendment provides no such thing. and when the Senator from Missouri rests his argument in this case upon that proposition. if I can show that that proposition is not true. his argument falls. it is fatal to his argument that the right of suffrage is not guaranteed to a citizen. The following is the language of the fifteenth amendment: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of race. color. or previous condition of servitude.
