STILL HUNT
Three LieutenantS Said
to Have Gone 0ut.
J.. L. MARTIN MAY ENTER
Report That Rutland Man Is in Hunt
For Goysrnorship is Not Con
firmed.
]. L. MARTIN MAY ENTER

Rutland, April l2.-It has been learned
that within the past two or three days po-
litical workers who are identified with the
Clement movement have left here to work
In various parts OF the state and all
doubts as TO whether Or not PeroiYal w.
Clement Is to be a candidate for the gov.
ernorship has been removed ia the minds
Of local politicians.
II is still impossible to secure a positive
statement on the question from any Of
Mr.. Clements closest political associates
and it is now thought that this retlcence
on the subject is due to the attitude Of
James L. Martin Of Brattlebor0 on the
governorship question Word has reach
ed here that Mr.. Martin has recently said
that he would not enter the contest unless
Mr. Clement did go in which event the
district attorney stated hat he would im-
mediately take off his coat and work tooth
and nail to defeat the Rusland man.
There seems to be little doubt that this
is the real attitude Of the district attorney
and as he is known to be a hard and able
fighter, 1t is believed that Mr. Clements S
plan is to work quietly until so close to
the time OF the convention that Mr.. Mar.

The sentiment toward Mr.. Clement ir
the towns Ia Rutland county Is found BY
his workers, 1t is understood, to be much
more favorable than they anticipated, aBC
they feel certain that If Mr. Clement runs
he will be able to capture a good number
of delegates from his own county. Excel
lent reports are coming Ii also from work
ers and Clement sympathzsrs Ia othe
/ parts Of the state.
