It is said that there are so manv

According to a decision of the
United States courts a foreign-born
woman, married to naturalized
citizen, becomes a citizen of the
United States. Thus foreigners,
through the marriage relation, are
often given the franchise where the
American woman. married to an
alien, is barred the same privilege
The federal court has laid down
tie rule that the marriage of res

1894 R. S., a citizen of the United
States as fully as if she has complied
