that he had had in mind only the loaf
ers of the country who might don the
uniform to gain soft jobs under false
pretenses. The committee further re-
ported that Governor Clement, al
though declaring no intent to slur the
American soldier in the letter, would
explain his meaning to the convention
in such manner that his viewpoint
might be understood
Directly after the address of Gen
eral Murch B. Stewart at the afternoon
session, Governor Clement was intro
duced and addressed the convention.
He made no direct reference to the
letter in custom, but he expressed his
confidence in the Vermont soldiery
and stated that the acknowledgement
had informed him that very few calls
for aid of any kind from Vermont boys
who had been in the service had been
received by the State of Vermont
You were ready to take up your
duties where they lay and perform
them as best you could said Cover
nor Clement to the members of the con
vention.
But" he added, there have been
thousands OF men in uniform with lit
tie or nothing to do, looking fir as
sistance. Some of these were not sol
diers but the vast army of men who
are looking for something from the
government. but who were not in the
war. have no sympathy for those
fellows. and | don't believe you have.
If a man hasn't served in the war and
hasn't had the experience, he shouldn't
expect anything" said the Governor
Governor Clement stated that Yer

for very little from the state since
they have been discharged and de
clared that this was - their credit

not satisfied with the explanation
which Governor Clement had made,
that he did not think the convention
as whole was satisfied. and then he
called upon John NJ. Thomas. chairman
of the committee appointed to inter
view Governor Clement, to read the
correspondence between the Cover
nor and DR.. Thomas, in the presence
OF the Governor and TO make a report
upon the action of the committee.
Mr.. Jackson's challenge was greeted
with great burst of cheering from the
floor of the convention. DR.. Thomas
proceeded to read the three letters CIV
en- above. At the close of the read
ing, there was ominous silence. DR.
Thomas denounced in no uncertain
terms the sentiments expressed in
Governor Clements letter, and Chair
man Tillotson then called upon the
Governor for any further statement
which he desired to make.
Il think that | have clearly stated
to you what my position is and always
has been toward the Vermont soldier
said Governor Clement in a voice
which was somewhat husky as he
started speaking. AS the Governor
of the state walked towar the front
of the stage, every eve was upon him
and while the convention seemed will
ling to listen. to what he had to say
the eyes which looked up at him were
not friendly.
There is no body of men," contin-
ued the Governor, whom | esteem

derstood. | was not talking about the
Vermont soldier | did not have in
mind the returned soldier. | had in
mind a different class of men-the
great army of men who belong to the
unemployed class who are looking
for a soft job. There are large
number of such men, but not many in
Vermont" the Governor fastened to
add.
Governor Clement went on to say
that in his campaign he had advocated
State pay for the Vermont soldier the
drafted man as well as the volunteer
and that he had always stood for the
welfare and undivided support of
the fighting men of the Green Mount
ain state.
Il haven't changed from that posi-
ton from that time until this and
shall not change from it," said the
Governor.

Major Jackson, lis whether you will
write another letter to DR.. Douglas A
Thorn saying what you have said

Governor Clement replied that he
would do this.
There was some further comment,
including a fiery speech by Allen Flet-
cher of Johnson, in which he denounc-
ed the sentiments of the letter of
Governor Clement and aa-expressed
the sentiments of Henry B. Shaw at

Dear Sir:
Replying to your letter of October
10:
We have in this State a large num-
Der of men looking for jobs just such
as you describe, men who wish to find
positions where they can draw large
salaries and have little or nothing TO
do, may say. that the woods up here
are full Of them We have no State
employment agencies, which are in
terested in finding work for these
men, nor do we pay railroad fares or
other expenses, the men just have to
shift for themselves. My idea is that
our supply of men who are willing for
the government to serve them some
thing on a silver platter exceeds the
demand, and | think that there is no
opportunity for taking on an addition
al supply from other States at the
present time.
| know of no deserving cases in this
State which have not already received
careful attention and care on the part
of friends, relatives and various serv-
ice committees in the communities.
Yours truly

done.
