CLEMENT STANDS PAT


There is precious little logic in Governor
Clements reasons for refusing to call his
Legislature in special session 10 ratify
the suffrage amendment. He talks of the
Constitution. the freemen of Vermont and
the right of Self-goyernment and seeks
to reverse the supreme Court of the
onited States in its decision rejecting the
referendum provisions of State Cons titu-
tlon' But That decision is literal applica
ton OF the Federal Constitution. and the

Ethan Allen made no objection to this
clause when their State entered the Union

nation. The language of the Federal Con-
stltutlon declares that an amendment shall

Governor Clements kick is not against
the supreme Court. but against General
Washington, James Madison and the
others who drafted the Federal Constitu-
ton.
AS matter of fact. Governor Clement
Is simply giving some very POOR reasons

he is entirely within his rights. and the
principle of state independence involved
