Holcomb's Explanation.

When Governor Holcomb's atten-
ton was called today to statements
in the democratic press with reference
to his veto of the soldiers employ
ment measure which came up in the
legislature of 1917, ne said:
Il think my veto message of that
bill is sufficient explanation to con-
vince any fair minded voter that the
attempt now being made by the Dem
ocrats to make capital of this bill is
both misleading and unfair. I quote
a part of the message, taken from i,
the House Journal of 1917, page
1,490:
There is no apparent reason why |
q state employee who enters the mil |
itary or naval service of the United |
States should, upon his release from |
such service, be guaranteed reinstate-
ment to his former position or other |
state employment of equal grade and |
compensation, where employees of |
private corporations are not thus
guaranteed Beside this, such rein
statement would require the discharge !
of some person employed to fill the !
vacated position and be an injustice
to such employee. The proposed act
arises from a benevolent and pa
triotic impulse, but favors a limited
class which does not seem justifiable
All who serve their country should be [
treated alike #E-.- -.-
MY information then and now is
that this bill applied to only about |
five men, This [ considered unfair
to the many thousands of soldiers Of
the state who were not so fortunate
as to hold state positions.
MY sentiments toward the bows
overseas always have been and are to-
day expressed in my message to the
Stars and Stripes, the American Elk
peditlonary Forces newspaper, when
I was asked to give a statement to
our Connecticut boys. This is what [ +
cabled: Tell them that when they re-
turn the state will belong to them"
