Who Are and May Become Voters.

|
 Every male citizen of the Uni ted States, and every male citizen of Mexico who shall have elected to become Q citizen of the United States under the treaty of peace ex- changed and ratified at Quintero on the 30th day of May, 184S, and the Gadsden treaty of 1854, of the age of twenty-one years, who shall have been resident of the Terri tory six months next preceding the election, and of the county or pre- cinct in which he claims his vote, ten days, and whose name is enroll ed on the greater register of such county, shall be entitled to vote at all elections which are now or may hereafter be authorized bylaw
 Section 1907 of the Revised Stat utes of Arizona as amen ded by the Acts of 1889, reads as follows:
 "No persons name must be en- tered by the recorder unless First Upon a certificate of registration in another county, showing that such registration has been cancell- ed and upon proof by the affidavit of the party that he is an elector of the county in which he seeks to be registered. Second Upon the returns of the registering officer of the county. Third-If a naturalized citizen upon his presentation of his own affidavit of it's loss, together with the affidavit of a registered voter to the effect that the appli- cant is a naturalized citizen and has resided in this Territory for six months next preceding the time of application and is reported to be a citizen and that the depOnent be- lieves him to be a citizen and to- gether with the proof by the atfi- davit of the party that he is an elector of the county. FOurth-If born in foreign country, upon his affidavit that he became citizen of the United States by virtue Of the naturalization of his father while he was residing in the United States, and under the age of twen- ty-one years, and that he Is or will be m elector of the county at the next ensuing election. Fifth-Up- on the production and filing of a certified copy of the judgment of the district court directing such en- try to be made. SiXth-ln other cases upon the affidavit of the par ty that he was born in the United States and will be an elector of the county at the next ensuing elc ction. Seventh-In every case the affidavit of the party must show all the facts required to be stated in the entry on the register, except the date and the number of the entry.
 You will readily see from the above that electors are natural born citizens; citizens by virtue of the treaties of Quintero and Gadsden citizens by virtue of their fathers naturalization, and citizens by nat uralization. A declaration of in tention to become a citizen of the United States does not entitle the declarant to vote. He must be a full fedged citizen before he can exercise that great American privi- lege.
 Entry into the great register must show: "First-The names at length. Second-The place of res idence (giving the precinct). Third The age, emitting fractions of years, such persons will be atssthe next ensuing election. Fourth The country of nativity. Fifth-If naturalized, the time and place of naturalization. Sixth-The date of entry, of each person. Each named must be placed in the order of it's entry"
