Card Index System Used and
Full Name of the Elector
Must Be Given
The registration of voters
opened Monday, January 3, and
closes thirty days preceding the
primary election next May. The
card index system will be used,
and the full name of the elector
must be given. County Clerk
Robinson has not as yet appointed
registrars in the county, but will
do so within a few days.
The state constitutional amend
' ment passed by the people at the
last election requires that all
aliens must have become fully
naturalized before being allowed
to vote in this state. Therefore,
those persons who have only
their "Declaration of Intention"
(commonly known as first papers)
cannot legally register for elec
tions in this state. This law re
quires that "Final Citizenship
Papers" (commonly known as
second- papers), be exhibited to
the registration officer before he
can register them.
Some confusion may result un
less registering officers are care
ful in this respect, as in many of
the old forms of naturalization
papers the first papers, or "Dec
larations," are very similar to the
st-cond or "Final" papers. Un
der the former laws of Oregon,
second papers were not required;
declaration of intention, or first
papers, being sufficient. Former
registrations in this county do not
show which were exhibited.
The following will give the re
quirements, also the status of the
families of aliens:
Naturalized citizens must ex
hibit "Final" citizenship papers.
' If the father of an alien be
came naturalized before he (the
child) became of age, he is a
naturalized citizen, but must ex
hibit the father's papers or a
copy of the same from the court
issuing them.
A foreign woman married, to a
citizen of the United States, is a
citizen. v
An American woman who mar
ries a foreigner, takes the na
tionality of her husband, and
must exhibit his papers if he be
comes a naturalized citizen; at
the termination of the marital
relation, if she continues to re
side here, she may resume her
citizenship.
Foreign-born unmarried wo
men must be naturalized them
selves after they become 21 years
of age, or by their father before
they become of age; if married
to a foreigner who is naturalized,
she must exhibit his "Final"
papers.
Any foreign woman who ac
quires citizenship by marriage to
an American retains the same
after the termination of marital
relation, if she continues to re
side here, and unless she make
formal renunciation of citizen
ship. Service in the U. S. army or
navy of aliens does not, as is.
generally believed, imply citizen
ship, unless petition for final
papers has been made and papers
issued, such service eliminating
only the necessity of "First"
papers. -Observer.
