Marietta Daily Times, June 24, 1919
Columbus, O. - Aliens in state institutions will be shipped. The first vanguard of a wholesale exodus of undesirables will probably start within a month.
The board of administration wired today to the government immigration bureau for 150 sets of deportation papers.
Investigation of 20 state institutions disclosed that there are aliens of 59 different nationalities being supported out of state funds.
In the fiscal year ending Saturday, 976 out of 2,662 persons admitted to state institutions were foreign born. Germans, Russians and Hungarians lead in the order named, the investigation showed.
The campaign to rid the state of undesirable wards will not end with the deportation of the first 150, President Riddle of the board of administration said today. "We will clean them all out. We need room at the institutions for American citizens," he declared.
