based upon previous decisions upon said
question and acquiesced in for many years;

Whereas, said naturalized citizens have
been registered without opposition being
made to their right to register, and have
thereby become qualified electors under the
constitution and laws of the United States

lican leaders Kellogg, Packard, Beckwith
and others, to deprive our foreign born citi-
zens thus naturalized of their right to vote,
by advising the assistant supervisor to arbi.
trarily strike from the list of registered voters
names of said foreign born citizens, thereby
investing said supervisors with extraordinary

Be it resolved that we renounce in upmeas-
ured terms this movement to deprive our
foreign born citizens OF their right of citizen

officials in the affairs of the State, intended
to invite conflicts and disorder, and we de-
nounce the weakness and disposition of the
executive in submitting to the dictation OF
said federal officials.

! to every registered citizen thus naturalized
to present himself at the polls and to cast his
vote.
