Percival w. Clement of Rutland,
who was candidate for Governor In
1900 ON the Local option License tick
ct, has authorized the publication of
the following letter, announcing that
he will be candidate for the gov
ernorship before the next republican
state conventions:
To the republican voters and citizens
of Vermont:
/ have been asked To be a candidate
for the nomination for the office Of
governor at the next republican state
convention. The time seems now at
hand when II Is fair to my friends TO
state my position. answer the ques-
ton. Yes. / am a candidate.
l did not care to enter into a pure
ly personal canvas for the governor
ship. but If my views on state affairs,
which are fairly well known, meet
with the approval of the voters, l
should consider II an honor to be Sc
lected to carry them into effect so far
as Vermont governor can.
As result of discussion and in
vestigation we are upon the eve or a
complete change in the business meth
ods of our state departments. If this
change is made properly, retrench-
ment i'm state expenses and better
turally follow. No private corpora
ton would for a IA oment think or
adopting the Vermont plan of trans
acting its business. When this change
was first suggested it was ridiculed In
some quarters. but now the question
is how best to effect a remedy.
The large amount which would be
annually saved to the state when a
proper system of purchase. supervis-
ion and accounting is inaugurated,
will be available for internal improve
ments. and l know of none which can
be made with greater benefit to all
classes of citizens than system of
permanent roads, opening up our
mountain regions to the main thor
oughfares of travel.
| believe the local option license
law, which prohibits when the people
so vote, or brings in a revenue II the
people so elect. should be retained and
perfected.
1t is not my ambition or purpose
to build up or foster any political ma
chine; but, if l am nominated and
elected, shall undertake to give the
state a business administration and
the taxpayer a square deal.
