I do not attach so much importance to the vote as I do to my ability to demonstrate. almost to a mathematical certainty. the number of voters disfranchised in the State of Mississippi and the State of Massachusetts by the necessary operation of laws. There is 6.6 per cent of the male population in Massachusetts 21 years of age illiterate. and about half of that is composed of foreigners who have never been naturalized. Representation shall be reduced on account of the disfranchisement of citizens. not aliens. An investigation of the facts discloses that Massachusetts has not disfranchised a sufficient number of citizens to affect a reduction of representation.
