In New York State only citizens Of
the United States may vote. The
process Of becoming naturalized re-
Qulres, Of man, five years resi-
dence in this country. A woman may
become citizen simply by marriage
with an American citizen. But in
order to vote she must have resided
in this country for five years. If
she has been married only a year.
that is, been q citizen for only a
year, and has lived in this country
for five years, she can vote. If she
has been married to a citizen and
lived in this country only four years
she cannot vote. Thus, in New
\ ork State the citizenship obtained
by marriage does not gain anything
over that gained by naturalizatio
in the election procedure. In some
Of the Western states only a certain
length of residence. six months or
year, is necessary for the right
of suffrage, citizenship not being
required.
Among our acquaintance ther is
a case which comes under this pro-
vision. The woman was a Canadian
who had lived in New York for five
or six years. She was married last
