CITIZENSHIP EXAMINATIONS
IN CIRCUIT COURT TODAY

II. L. Roethe. United States Natu-
ralization Examiner. today continued
the examination OF applicants for sec
ond citizenship papers. and will con-
tinue this work until tomorrow when
all the naturalization business will be
cleared up. The applicants numbered
$50. The usual number of continue
tions have been made because of I'M
familiarity with the laws and customs
of the United States. A number of
those examined have voted for many
years but were forced TO file their APP
plications for citizenship papers be-
cause OF the new law which does not
give a franchise to men who only
possess first papers. one old man
who stated at the beginning of his eX-
animation that he had been in the
United States for twenty nine years
was passed without further question
ing when Mr.. Roethe learned that he
had been a voter for twenty-five
years.
The classes that have been held in
the different towns of the copper
country by the various naturalization
societies seem to be productive Of
much good, but in some cases where
the applicants seem thoroughly versed
in certain facts Of the civil govern
ment of the United states, they are
unfamiliar with other equally import
ant functions of government, which it
is the duty of every voter 10 know.
Judge Streeter stated yesterday to a
few of these that however much he
would like TO admit them 10 citizen
ship. their knowledge of the govern
ment was not up TO the standard re-
quired by law and he was forced to
continue their examinations until next
September.
