Wash. These petitions are signed by over 1.800 citizens of the State of Washington. They urge the deportation of those aliens who have taken out their first papers looking toward naturalization. but who. when the war came on. in order to escape military service renounced this declaration. They particularly call attention to the fact that of 205 persons who renounced their citizenship 54. or nearly 27 per cent. had I. W. W. cards in their pockets. Mr. President. there is a very strong sentiment in our State for the deportation of those people who acted as these persons did. They do not consider them as desirable citizens there from any standpoint.
