LEGISLATIVE MEMBER
AND NOT A Citizen
Strange Things Revealed In Texas by
the Registration of 7nemy
Aliens.

Austen, Tex, March fT.--As a re-
suit of the registra Ion of alien enc
mics there has been uncovered a ra-
markable political condition in many
counties of South Texas, where the
German element has long been prac-
tically in control of the local affairs
of the Democratic party. 1t La found
that hundreds of Germans who have
not taken out their final citizenship
papers have been voting and part .ci-
patng prominently in politics. In
some instances they have held or are
now holding political office.
One alien German was fund 10 be
a member of the legislature. He re-
signed his Office when the fact was
brought to light tina, he was not a
citizen OF the United States.
In not a few instances these alien
enemies were sincere in their belief
that they were citizens OF the United
States. A case of this kind Is that of
Adolph Weyel. a wealthy farmer OF
the New Braunfeis neighborhood who
immigrated to Texas from Germany
with his parJats seventy-three years
ago when he was only four years old
He served through the War Between
NAAp @%HtCS az @VaAASoVRS al@ SotAASE.
He had never taken out his citizenship
papers, although he had voted at cleo
tions right along.
In South Texas the balance Of
power so far as controlling elections
In concerned has been held by the
German element for many years. II
is conceded that but for the German
voters this state would have been
placed in the dry" column several
years ago. What effect the elimina-
ton of a large percentage of these
foreigners, because of the fact that
they are alien enemies. will have
upon future political contests in
Texas remains to be seen.
