MARSHALL WINS.
County Judge Ramsey Decides the Weep
ing Water Councllmanic Contest
Case in His Favor.
The state of Nebraska in county court
for Cass county:
George II. Haywood, contestant,
vs.
William Marshall, contestee.
Now on this Sth day of June, A. D.
1894, it being the fifth day of the June,
A. D. 1S94, term of said court, tins
cause having been heretofore to-wit:
on June 4, A. 1). 1394, argued and sub
mitted and by consent taken under ad
visement uutil such time as the court
tnizht reach a conclusion; aud the
court, being well and fully advised in
the premise, finds generally as follows:
First. The petition, among other
things, alleges, in substance, that an
election was held in the city of Weep
ing Water for couucilman in the second
ward of said city on April 3, 1894, aud
that the contestee herein, being a
candidate for said office, received forty
three votes, and a certificate of election
was awarded him; that on and prior to
said election, said contestee was a
foreigner, a subject of Great Britain,
and not a citizen of the United States,
therefore ineligible to hold said office;
that contestee was not a tax-payer at
the time of said election, and for which
reason was disqualified to hold said of
fice. These allegations are denied in
the answer, except said election and
certificate thereof.
Second. The testimony of John
Marshall, father of contestee, taken by
contestant, shows that in 1ST0 he was
a resident and subject of Great Britain,
residing at Yorkshire; that in 1872 he
emigrated from England and settled in
Cass county, Nebraska, where he has
since resided; that he brought with him
his son, the contestee herein, then
about nine years old, and who has re
sided in Cass county, Nebraska, ever
since, and continuously, except a few
weeks when he was temporarily ab
sent. The testimony of said John
Marshall further shows that said con
testee pays taxes on certain property.
The deed record admitted in evidence
shows lot two -), block seventeen (17),
Noble Heights addition to Weeping
Water, Nebraska, to be deeded to Wil
liam and A. U. Marshall.
The evidence shows that on October
1S75, in the office of the clerk
of the district court for Cass
county, Nebraska, the said John Mar
shall, father of contestee, under oath,
and in the manner provided by law.de
clared his intention to become a citizen
of the United States. The evidence is
not conclusive (only circumstantial)
that the said John Marshall did or did
not take out final naturalization papers
prior to the time his son, the contestee
herein, attained his majority.
Two questions are presented for
solution by the pleadings and evidence:
First. Was contestee herein, at the
time of said election, a tax-payer with
in the meaning of the statutes prescrib
ing qualifications of councilmen?
Second. Was contestee, at the time
of said election, an alien and a subject
of (Jreat Britain, by reason whereof he
was ineligible to the office?
The first question seems disposed of
on tne testimony of John Marshall,
father of contestee, aud the record evi
dence of part ownership of the lot
herein before described, and the finding
must be in favor of contestee.
The second proposition is more diffi
cult of solution, as it involvesquestious
most intimately connected with our
naturalization laws.
The position of the learned and able
counsel for contestant is that John
Marshall, father of contestee, having
failed to take out his final naturaliza
tion papers prior to contestee attaining
his majority, the latter, therefore, is
still an alien and a subject of Great
Britain. Technically Bpeaking, this
may be the law, but on reference to the
now famous case of Boyd vs. the state
of Nebraska, decided by the supreme
court of the United States at the
October term, 1891, Vol. 12, "National
Reporter System," page 3S8, Chief Jus
tice Fuller uses the following language
"Clearly, minors acquire an inchoate
status by the declaration of intention
on the part of their parents. If they
attain their majority before the parent
completes his naturalization, then they
have an election to repudiate the status
which they find impressed upon them
and determine that they will accept
allegiance to some foreign potentate or
power rather than bold fast to the
citizenship which the act of the parent
has initiated for them. Ordinarily this
election is determined by application
on their own behalf, but it does not
follow that an actual equivalent may
not be accepted in lieu of a technical
compliance."
Chief Justice Fuller, in the same
opinion, also says: "The statutory
provisions leave much to be desired
and the attention of congress has been
called to the condition of the laws in
reference to election of nationality and
to the desirability of a clear definition
of the status of minor children of
fathers who have declared their inten
tien to become citizens, but have failed
to perfect their naturalization, and of
the status gained by those of full age
by the declaration of intention. '
The opinion further says: "It is
true that naturalization, under the acts
of congress known as the "Naturaliza
tion Laws," cau only be completed be
fore a court, and the usual proof of
naturalization is a copy of the record
of the court. But it is equally true
that where no record of naturalization
can be produced, evidence that a per
son, having the requisite qualifications
to become a citizen, did in fact and for
a long time vote and hold office and ex
ercise rights belonging to citizens, is
sufficient to warrant a jury in interring
that he has been duly naturalized as a
citizen."
The court further says: " We are of
the opinion that James E. Boyd is en
titled to claim that, if his father did
not complete his naturalization before
his son had attained his majority, the
son can not be held to have lost his
inchoate status he had acquired by
the declaration of intention, and to be
elected to have become the subject of
a foreiRu power, but, iu the conti my,
that the oaths he took and his action
as a citizen entitled him to iusist upon
the benefit of his father's act."
In the case at bar the testimony
shows that the contestee came with bis
father to Cass county, Nebraska, when
nine years old. and with the exception
of a few weeks, has continuously re
sided therein. In short, he his grown
from boyhood to manhood in the fame
county and doubtless knows no other
domicile or home.
Under the law of the United States
supreme court, herein before cited, by
the act of his father in declaring his
intention to become a citizen of the
United States, the contestee herein
acquired an inchoate status," and if
he attained his majority before his
father completed his naturalization.
would "have an election to repudiate
the status," which the act of his father
mpressed upon him, and accept alle
friance to some foreign power. But
the tesitinsony of his father shows that
that the son has resided continuously
in Cass county, Nebraska, with the ex
ception of a few weeks, ever since
coming thither with his father in 1872.
No evidence was introduced to show
that contestee had ever "elected to re
pudiate the status." Suppose that the
father of contestee had died before
perfecting his naturalization; then,
under the law, the widow and all child
ren would, by reason of such death.
have become "citizens of the United
States." McCrary on Elections, p. h4.
subdivision 7 of sec. 54.
Where no record of naturalization
can be produced, proof of voting aud
holding office is sufficient to warrant an
nfereuce ot naturalization.
Boyd vs. state of Nebraska, supra
and cases there cited.
While no testimony was offered in
the case at bar, showing that contes
tee's father had ever voted or held
office, yet, after a residence in the
county for twenty-two years, since
leaving England, and a residence of
nineteen years since declaring his in
tention in 1875, the presumption is
certainly warranted that he for years
exercised the right of suffrage, and
may also have held office. This being
presumably the f act.then under the de
cisions above cited, the father of con-
testee.even in the absence of any record
proof, must have been fully natural
ized, and thus contestee would be
eligible to the office of councilman.
When it is shown that contestee's
father, when the former was of the age
of about twelve years, declared his in
tention to become a citizen of the
United States, and no proof that said
father had not perfected his natural
ization, and that said father had re
sided continuously in Cass county for
about nineteen years, and said con
testee had resided in said county since
1872, and that no evidence that said
contestee had reuounced the inchoate
status of citizenship conferred upon
him by his father's declaration of in
tention, it is certainly fair to conclude
that naturalization of the father and
consequently that of the son, the con
testee, was perfected and completed.
Again, the language of the supreme
court, in the Boyd case, cited herein,
would seem to warraut the conclusion.
that in that case as well as the one at
bar, and in similar cases, a just and
reasonably liberal construction should
be given to our naturalization laws,
rather than i strictly technical appli
cation thereof.
On the question of the burden of
proof in the case at bar some doubt
exists. A general rule of pleading re
quires plaintiff to prove every material
allegation in the petition.
McCrary on Elections, Sec. 294, con
tains the following:
"It seems to be quite well settled
that where one who is alien born, has
voted at an election, the law presumes
that he has been naturalized, until the
contrary is shown."
On this theory it would seem that
the burden of proof would be upon
contestant in the case at bar. The fact
that the records of the district court
for Cass county do not show that the
naturalization of John Marshall was
completed, does not preclude a pre
sumption that such may have been
done in some other coucty of the state.
and even before contestee attained his
majority.
Upon the pleadings and the evidence
and the lav as herein before cited, this
court does not feel warranted in de
ciding that the contestee herein was
not a citizen of the united States at
the time of the councilmanic election
In view of his tender age on coming
to the United States a great wrong
would be done him to decide, on mere
technicality, that, although having
spent nearly his entire life in Cass
county, he was not a citizen of the
United States, when it may be that his
father, prior to contestee's attaining
his majority, may have completed his
naturalization.
The court therefore specially finds
irom an the evidence in said cause
that the contestee herein was, at the
time of said election and prior thereto,
a citizen of the United States and eli
gible to hold the office of councilman
in the second ward of Weeping Water.
Wherefore it is here now considered
and adjudged that the contestee herein
go hence without delay. And it is
further considered and adjudged that
the contestee herein have and in
awarded judgment against contestant
for costs of suit taxed herein at $-
for which execution is awarded, to
all of which findings and judgment.
