I did not know that there were any treaties that interfered with our right of saying who should be citizens of the United States. and I should like to inquire into it. But. Mr. President. the thing we want to meet at this time is to prevent these men who have claimed exemption because they are subjects or citizens of another power. after they have taken out their first papers. from going around the corner and taking out another set of papers. and. in many States. exercising all of the rights of citizens. all the privileges of electing men to office. and everything of that kind. while they send the nativeborn Americans or the naturalized Americans across the water.
