Theodore Roosevelt writes J. Y. Brinton, praising Governor Martin Grove Brumbaugh for passing an effective Child Labor Bill. He comments on the Lelong case, in which Roosevelt asserts that P. A. Lelong had “beyond all shadow of a doubt” elected to be a United States citizen. When an alien becomes a citizen in good faith, Roosevelt says, he would protect him in every way.
