be rush of applicants for naturaliza-
tion papers throughout the state on ac-
count of the passage at the recent
election of the constitutional amend

does become operative until 1919 but
after that year man who is not a

will probably be a big demand for
naturalization. All of the amendments
passed, one being the law to provide
