tBy Associated Press,
NEW York, October Gin a letter to
the Law committee Of Tninnlany Hall,
state Superintendent OF Elections Morgan
to-day said /,
1T is a matter OF common notoriety
that elections in tho State Of New York
have been tainted with corruption through
the use OF citizenship papers fraudulently
obtained from both State and Federal
courts and also through tho Use OF forged
Certificates Of @nntu ralization.
He then referred to tho recent action
Of tho state Supreme Court IN canccling
a. number Of naturalization certificates
and continued: IN
Large as tho number OF ccrtif1cateS
may seem which were cancelled by Judge
Golderslcevc. this number Is but n small
fraction Of the naturalization frauds al
ready discovered, and much smaller
percentage than will be discovered by
this office before tho first day of rcgistr;1-
ton for tho general election of 1901
.tThis investigate will be continued by
this office within proper Nsnl bounds
without Interference or dictntion OF the
part Of any organization, political or
otherwise, or set Of individuals. at the
same time, every consideration which
justice can extend will be shown to the
poor unfort,lnatcs who have, through ig-
Gates Of naturalization which by law they
arc not entitled to possess 4,
mo effort will be spared and every
power which is invested in this office will
bo directed toward bringing to Justice
those who knowingly secured for these
unfortunates fraudulent certificates, the
possession of which constitutes Il crime"
