T
To vote is an expression of choice for this man or woman for an office. The ballot is the only efficient way to express public opinion and should be regarded as a sacred trust.
Every person in the state is either a citizen or alien.
"An alien is a person born in a foreign country who lives here, but is still a subject of some other country."
An alien may become a citizen of the United States after he has lived in this country for five years and in the state one year. He must be able to read and write his name, to speak English and be of moral character.
Only white persons and negroes may become naturalized.
"Chinese, Japanese and East Indians cannot become citizens unless born in the United States."
Unmarried women can become citizens like the men.
A married woman is a citizen if her husband is a citizen. She cannot become naturalized by herself. A woman born in the United States who marries an alien ceases to be an American citizen and becomes a subject of the country to which her husband belongs.
The wife of a man not a citizen of the United States cannot vote in this country.
