CITIZENS' CHILDREN BORN ABROAD.-The children of persons who are now or have been citizens of the United States are considered as citizens, though they may be born out of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States. CHINESE.-The naturalization of Chinese is prohibited by section 14, chapter 126, laws of 1882. PROTECTION OF NATURALIZED CITIZENS.-Section 2,000 of the Revised Statutes of the United States expressly declares that "all naturalized citizens of the United States while in foreign countries are entitled to and shall receive from this government the same protection of person and property which is accorded to native-born citizens." THE RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE-The right to vote is conferred by the state, naturalization by the United States. In several states aliens, who have declared their intentions, enjoy the right to vote equally with naturalized or native-born citizens. But the federal naturalization laws apply to the whole union alike, and no alien may be naturalized until after five years' residence, except an honorably discharged soldier or a person whose parents have been naturalized while he was under twenty-one years of age, as above recited. Even after five years' residence and due naturalization he is not entitled to vote unless the laws of the state confer the privilege upon him. In North Dakota to be an elector one must be a citizen of the United States or "has declared his intention to become such one year and not more than six years prior to election day."
