Some of the new voters are won

governing them, and their status for
registration is summed up in the fol
lowing:
Citizens, wives of citizens, or Amer
Jean born or naturalized women can
vote. Given in detail, those who can
vote are as follows, with the excep-
lions also announced:
All women born in the United
| States who have attained their TWEEN
| ty-first birthday.
All women whose husbands have
become naturalized citizens-that is,
received their final papers.
| All women who were minors at the
[, time their father was naturalized.
| All foreign born women who mar
ried American born or naturalized
citizens.
Exceptions to the above are as
follows:
| That any American born woman
| who has interrnarried with an alien
| who has not been naturalized, the
citizenship of the wife follows that
of the husband, and therefore she
is not eligible to vote.
Any foreign born woman who was
naturalized by virtue of her fathers
citizenship, and who, since then, has
married an alien who has not been
naturalized, her citizenship also fol
lows that of her husband.
Any foreign born woman not nat
uralized herself, or not naturalized
through father or husband, cannot
vote.
