My answer is. there would be no greater confusion than there is now. In some States a person is permitted to vote upon his first papers. as the gentleman has stated. but in others they require final papers. In some States women are permitted to vote. in others they are not. That subject is left entirely to our State governments. The question for us to determine here Is whether we shall have a uniform system of naturalization. We can not undertake to regulate the right of suffrage in the different States in the Union. Mr. WM. ALDEN SMITII. No. that Is very true. but I want to emphasize this.
