I find on line 127 of the original registration of ward 27. precinct 4. the name of Adolph Elolkmler (Nolkenler) . residence. 5023 Terry Avenue. nativity. German. date of registration. September 22. 1910. but I fail to find any record showing In and to what court he became naturalized or naturalization papers were Issued to him. In other words. the clerk failed to put in this column under "Remarks" the name of the court in which the voter was naturalized. and upon this evidence it is claimed 311 pesons who were not naturalized citizens voted in the election. In this way 311 names were written into the record. There is not a line of testimony that these voters were not actually nat-. uralized. None of them were called to the stand by the contestant. and the contestee had no opportunity to call them to the stand. He was even denied the right of crossexamination. so that when contestant got these 311 names in the record they stood there as unnaturalized. although there had been no direct evidence that they were not in fact naturalized.
