Davenport Daily Gazette; April 4, 1867

     NATURALIZATION - An impression prevails in the minds of many persons that when an alien has taken out his "first papers" - i.e. his declaration of intention to become a citizen- he is entitled to vote. This is entirely wrong. After taking out his "first papers" the alien must remain a resident of the United States for two full years, and after the expiration of that period, obtain his naturalization paper before being entitled to vote.
    Acquaintances with these facts may save some trouble at the election next Saturday. Therefore we thus direct especial attention to this subject. Below we publish a correct list, as copied from the official records, of all those who have obtained their first papers at the office of the Clerk of the District Court of this county, during the past two years. Of course no one of these can vote on Saturday next, and any attempt to do so will subject them to severe punishment:

ADMIT 35 TO CITIZENSHIP; ONE DISMISSED

     Certificates to Be Awarded Class at Ceremony on April 8 Out of a class of 41 aliens applying for citizenship rights, 35 were admitted at the conclusion of a naturalization hearing held today in District Judge W.W. Scott's court. Nine of the 35 were women. Certificates of citizenship will be awarded the successful applicants at a patriotic ceremony to be held in the district court on the evening of April 3. Attorney Clark Filseth will deliver the principal address. The program will probably be in charge of the Colonial Dames.
