Speaker. I do not know that I have any serious objections to this bill except to section 3. I believe there is a conflict between the provisions ofthat section and section 15 of the lawa conflict at least in the proceeding by vhich the party is to be deprived of the benefits of the naturalization certificate. It is true. as the gentleman from Indiana says. that section 15 of the law passed at the last session provides for cases instituted to set aside the certificate of naturalization. whereas section 3 of the present bill relates more especially to the benefits or the advantages that he acquires by virtue of his naturalization. I believe. however. that there ought to be some proceeding by which he could be deprived of those benefits and an opportunity to be heard exactly as is provided in the bill of the last sessionthat the proceeding ought to be instituted in court to set aside the certificate of naturalization. For that reason. while approing the other sections of the bill. I shall feel compelled to vote against it at this time.
