CLEMENT ISSUES
APPEAL TO VOTERS
Says Chief Issue is That Of
Putting State on Bust
ness Basis
CLAIMS HIGHWAY
WORK IS Tagging
While Taxes Are Constantly Climbing
Charges No Dishonesty, but Devotes
Criticism to System Which Permits
Inefficiency and Waste.

4. RUTLAND, Aug. 2S.-Percival w.
Clement, candidate for the nomination
of governor on the Republican ticket,
gave out a statement yesterday to the
voters of Vermont. In this statement,
which is here printed, he states that
the time from now to the primaries
is SO short that the customary meth
DDS of running political campaign
in the state are quite impossible,
and he therefore takes this course of
appealing directly to the voters.
Mr.. Clement SAYS:
The state primary election to place
in nomination state ticket to be
voted for in the November election
takes place Tuesday, Sept. 10, in less
than two weeks.
The time is so short that it is inn
possible to conduct a campaign along
the lines of usual procedures, viz: eff
fceting an organization in each county
and town in the state.
II find, therefore, that / must make
direct appeal to the voters through the
press. and ! trust they. viii respond
as they never have before to their
desire to have Vermont managed Who'll

manner as will not only conserve the
dollar of the taxpayer, but will return
to him fully 100 cents in value for
every dollar spent
Il charge no dishonesty in any state
department. NY criticism is wholly
devoted to the system, which is rad
Ideally wrong and can mean only in
efficiency and waste
Il believe every Vermonter desires

everv successful business must be con
Quoted.
During these stressful times every
dollar should be conserved. Taxes are
constantly climbing while the depart
mental work of the state is tagging.
| refer particularly to the highways of
the state.
1.-The condition of the state s fame
es should at all times be an open book
TO the taxpayer, and no money should
be paid to state officers of departments
except on bills, representing purchases
actually made, and properly vouchered
to the auditor.
