In Topeka ZOOS Foreign Men
Are Not NaturaIiZed.

Washington, June S.-A preliminary
statement of the male population 81
years of age and over distributed ac-
cording to color. nativity and parent
age. for each state total and for
each of its cities of over %, 600 inhab-
itants, as shown by the returns of the
thirteenth census taken as of April
Is, 1910, has just been issued by the
census bureau.
Distinction is made in the state
ment between white males of native
and foreign birth, respectively, and
also for the native white with respect
to parentage. Those having both par
ents native of the United States are
having either both parents born
abroad or one parent native and one
parent born abroad are clasSed as of
foreign or mixed parentage. Foreign
born white males who have been nat
uralized are also separately classified.
The potential voting strength of
each state and city is expressed by the
number of its males 81 years of age
and over, excluding the foreign born
who have not become naturalized, but
by this is not meant the actual num-
Der of voters. 1t represents rather,
the number of males who from the
standpoint of age alone are eligible to
vote, aside from any qualifications
based upon education, length of resi-
dence, or considerations of a like ma
ture imposed by the national govern
ment.
