Mr. Speaker. I only want the amendment which I called the gentlemans attention to. and which the gentleman says he has inserted in the bill. to do what I think ought to be done. and that is to make a copy of the certificate of naturalization in case the original is lost. take the place of the original for the purpose of registration and voting. I do not believe that is accomplished by the gentlemans amendment. The idea of naturalization is for two purposes: One is to be able to own property in fee. and the other is to exercise the right of the franchise.
