James Sullivan Clarkson asks Benjamin F. Barnes to bring to President Roosevelt’s attention correspondence regarding the process of naturalization. Because of a law requiring a person to be naturalized ninety days before voting in an election and the limits on how many naturalization cases the court can handle each day, Clarkson suggests that Roosevelt increase the number of workers in the Naturalization Bureau.
