THE BOYD-THAYER CASE.
NEBRASKA GOvERNoRsHIP CONTEST READY FOR
rrtrp sT-pPENfE COIrRT

y
THE SUPREME COURT.
Washington Dec. THE Boyd hayer case involv-
ING the question OF title TO the Office OF Governor OF
Nebraska and of citizenship on the part OF BOYD,
will come up for argument in the United states supreme
Court tomorrow. The question at issue Is as 10
whether or not James f. Boyd was citizen oil the
United States at the date OF election. Briefs OF counsel
have been filed. J. c. Gown, attorney for BOYD, IN
his brief maintains that his client became citizen 10y
virtue of the admission of Nebraska state he belng
an inhabtant Of the Territory of Nebraska and
member OF its Constitutional Convention. Henry ID.
Estabrook also attorney for Boyd argues that BOYD
became citizen through the relation back to the mo
of declaration Of intention, of the granting In 1871 OF
final naturalization papers to Boyds father and that
the completed transaction takes effect as OF the
date OF declaration, 1o40.
The brief in behalf of Thayer was prepared by John
F. Dillon, John L. Webster and Joseph IL. BAR
BROADLY stated they base their assertion OF want OF
citizenship in Boyd the ground that an alien can
not grow into citizenship by belief or faith and by
assuming 10 act as a citizen. There are many thlhss
they saw necessary after declaration OF intention nado
reonisite before naturalization papers can ISSUE Col
leetjye naturalization they maintain can apply only
,yhere Congress makes express provision therefor as
II did when Florida and Louisiana were ceded TO the
United States.
