American Citizens.
n practice there is no such thing
as a "citizen of the United States." it
Such "citizen" is about as mythical as a
the mermaid. In order to vote. for in- a
ce, one must bring his citizenship
down to the concrete and become a of
tizen of New York. or of some one \
of the other states. You cannot vote
in Now York unless you are a citizen or
of New York; and the same tois true of
all the other states. The "citizen of in
the United States" is a very vague
gentleman
