Meier admits that he was born in

ALIEN VOTE Is
SUBJECTED-TO
CLOSED SEASON
Ten States Affected b,
Measure introduced
in House.

Possible control OF Congressional
elections in sixteen States is struck
at in bill introduced late yesterday
afternoon by Chairman Flood. Of the
House Foreign Affairs committee.
1t proposes the repeal OF various
State statutes which now permits
aliens to vote who have begun, but
who have not completed their natural
ization.
Flood declared that he regarded the
legislation as imperatively called for
to insure against any possibility OF a
German-tainted poll in any Congress
sional district in the Union.
States now permitting aliens to vote,
he said are: Alabama, Arkansas, In
diana, Kansas, Michigan. Missouri.
Nebraska, Oregon. South Dakota and
Texas.
Various statutes or, in some cases.
Constitutional provisions, which now
permit-the vote cannot be repealed,
or voided, he said further, except as
to Congressional elections. Unless
there Is State action. therefore, the
half-alienS will be permitted to vote
for local officers.
Floods action follows several
weeks OF comment by administra-
tion leaders. They have found par
ticularly the possible results OF
elections in some districts of Mis-
souri,. Nebraska and South Dakota
where a strong pro-German senti-
ment is reported In districts large
enough to cast the deciding in
fluence in several congressional. and
possibly senatorial contests.
The strong antiwar vote given
Morris HillQuitt in the foreign sec
tions OF New York City has been
often mentioned. There has been a
hesitancy to take drastic action
both because 1t was hoped the
StStes might act and because the
administration felt 1t might be at
tackled on partisan grounds.
Republican support is assured fol
the measure, however.
1t is expected the bill will be re-
ported favorably from Floods COM
mittee at once. and given a place
on the House calendar.
