Patriotic men and women in every section. anxious to raise the standard of. American citizenship. *ill continue the fight. In California no :man or woman can enjoy the privilege of full citizenship. can exercise the right -of thu ballot. unless able to both read and write. Should not the immigrants entering that State be able to read at least. as -provided in the literacy test? We of the Pacific coast want restriction that will aid in excluding the undesirable classes. and. in my opinion. this bill is a marked advance over existing laws or any new law so far proposed. :
