Mr. Chairman. the whole section ought to go out of the bill. in my judgment. There is a temptation in this bill to a partisan district attorney to select out of the list of those who have been recently -naturalized such as he would want to prevent from voting at the next election. An appeal can be taken by him and all of those individuals thus selected would be prevented from voting. It is much safer to leave this whole matter as it is now. entirely a question of fact and law with the court in which the naturalization is granted. It is proposed to open up this question so that any alien who seeks naturalization will at once become a party to a lawsuit ending only in the Supreme Court of the United States. It is a wholly unnecessary proposition. and the short way to dispose of this section will be to strike it out absolutely. We can certainly trust these courts.
