RUTLAND, July IL

Governor Pereival w. Clement again
refuses to call special session oil the
Vermont legislature to ratify the federal
amendment for woman suffrage, and IN
formal proclamation, made public today,
gives his seasons therefor.
He calls attention to the fact that the
present legislature was elected before the
question of ratifying the federal amend
ment had arisen, that the people of YER
mont have had no opportunity to express
themselves in regard to the question, and
that the proposed federal amendment
clearly inyades the constitution OF Yer
mont.
Governor Clement proposes that the
matter be taken up by the legislature OF
1921 and urges the voters to require can
didates for the house and senate to de-
clare themselves thereon. He refers
pointedly to the income tax amendment,
which, he says, twas lobbied through con-
gress and the state legislatures by fed
eral agents, also to the prohibition
amendment, which he declares ''was
forced through by a powerful and ire
sponsible organizations [evidently the
Anti-Saloon leaguel operating through
paid agents with unlimited funds"
He declares further that the issue is
one of principle, not of political eXpe-
diency, and serves notice on all state
officers, apparently on the lieutenant
governor and his deputies, that he pro-
poses ito go and come" as his duty calls,
both within and without the state Of
Vermont" and that if any action is
taken contrary to the terms of the proc
lamation, the officer so acting will do so
regardless of our fundamental law and
his oath to support it" and "on his own
responsibility" for which he will be held
"answerable to the freemen of the state. >
The proclamation is as follows:
Under date of June 18th, 1919, | re-
ceived from Frank l.. Polk, acting secre
