He retires to his home in Lima. where he has for many years enjoyed an extensive and lucrative practice as a lawyer. His practice carries him over all the State of Ohio. While in Congress he distinguished himself probably more than any other individual in his extensive studies of naturalization of aliens. He was during all his time as a Congressman a member of the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. He was a stalwart defender of the American against the other peoples of the world. and his work in that respect brought him an acquaintanceship among the immigration authorities that was coextensive with the boundaries of the country. He knows more about naturalization than any man in the National Congress on either side of the aisle. He is the author of the naturalization act of September 22. 1922. known throughout the world as the Cable Act. granting independent citizenship rights to American women. He secured the passage of two amendments to that law in 1930 and 1931 so that in matters of nationality women have equal rights with men. He has published a book and other articles on that subject. and the women of the country know him because of his battles in their behalf to bring up the naturalization laws so that there might be uniformity between the rights of men and women. Mr. CABLE is also the author of our Federal corrupt practices act. and he helped write our 1921 and 1924 immigration laws.
