Many New Citizens.

AS election day approaches, Judge
Benton is naturalizing aliens at the rate
Of about dozen per day. A noticeable
feature, strongly in contrast with condi
tions two years ago, is that large ma
jority are English-speaking, and all are
fairly intelligent men, while two years
ago the applicants were, by a large ma
jority, men who needed the ser
vices of an interpreter, who came from
countries where freedom and education
were unknown to them and who got
through, if at all, just by the skin of
their teeth. The professional witness
and ubiquitous Interpreter are conspicu-
Gus by their absence. Nearly every ap-
plicant has different witness, and the
majority of witnesses are natives of
the United States, although some are
men who have not yet declared their in
tention of becoming citizens.
