AMENDMENT
INVADES STATE
CONSTITUTION
Governor Refers to Lobby
for Proposal to
Change

In a proclamation nearly two col
umns long Gov. Clement states his
reasons for not calling a special ses-
sion of the Vermont Legislature to
make possible the ratification of the
federal amendment for woman SUI
frage. The Governor says in part:
Gov. Clement in his proclamation
declared that the federal constitu-
ton "as it stands and is interpreted
by the supreme court today threatens
the foundation of free popular gov
ernment" The proclamation said
in part:
"The provisions for chances in the
federal constitution, to which we
Velmonters are loyal subscribers,
are in conflict with those laid down
in the constitution of Vermont. The
federal constitution provides that
proposals for change therein shall, if
favorable action is taken thereon by
the Conress, be submitted to the leg
islatures of the several states for
their action, and the supreme court
of the United States has in a recent
decision, Hawke Versus Smith, June
1st, 1920 declared:
"'The referendum provisions Of
state constitutions and statutes cam
not be applied, consistently, with the
constitution of the United States in
the ratification orrejection of amend

Ten women were elected to public

Harry RunyOn, lone Democrat elect
ed to the New Jersey assembly, will
have to serve on fOrty-nine commit
tees. He will hold the party caucus
and will be minority leader in the

Republican leaders of congress are
of the opinion that despite the adop-
ton of a referendum favoring cash
bonuses to eX-service men by New
York, New Jersey and Wisconsin, the
next congress on the ground of ecOnO-
my will refuse to grant them through
federal legislation. The issue will be
brought Immediately before the next
session by Representative Johnson of
South Dakota and Swope of Kentucky.
With the federal government likely
to spend four billion dollars or more
annually for years to come, the duty
of working out an effective budget
system will be one of the first tasks
of the Harding administration. The
bill establishing a budget system may
be passed in advance of the Inaugural
ton of Mr.. Harding as president
March 4, next.
The tariff bill that will be passed
by the incoming Republican congress
promises to be the most drastic pro-
tective measure that has ever ap-
peared upon the federal statute books,
according to Republican senators and
representatives now in Washington. 1t
will be ready for signature by Presi-
dent Harding early next summer, 1t

the Payne-Aldrich bill was 1926, $751;

REPUBLICANS HAVE
LITTLE OPPOSITION
NEXT SENATE AND HOUSE WILL
HAVE SUBSTANTIAL REPUB.
LIcAN MAJoRiTIEs,
President-elect Harding Will Receive
404 Electoral Votes and Governor
Cox Transportation as to New
Members of Cabinet.

WaShingtOn.-The first reports of
| the election of November .. hailed by
enthusiastic Republicans as one of the
greatest landslides in the history of
American politics, seems not be have
been exaggerated. as the returns have
borne out the claims of the victors.
President-elect Harding will have
404 electoral votes, while Governor
Cox will receive but 127 votes. The
successful candidate for president will
take office with the knowledge that
| both the senate and house will have
substantial Republican working ma
joritieS.
In the senate the Republicans will
have 80 members and the Democrats
81, as a result Of the landslide for
Republicanism.
The house membership will be 300
Republicans, 1876 Democrats, one
Socialist, one Independent, one indie
pendent-PrOhibition and one indie
pendent Republican.
While speculation is rife as to who
will be selected as members of PreSi-
dent-elect Harding's cabinet, Senator
Harding has announced that he will
Immediately take Il much needed vaca-
ton, and will take up the matter of
selection of cabinet members upon his
return.
In fact, Senator Harding began his
vacation tour on Saturday, when
crowds rivaling those of campaign days
southwestward for an outing on the
Texas coast.
AT more than a dozen cities along
the way in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois,
his private car was besieged by cheer
ing men, women and children, clam
Oring for a speech or a chance to
shake hands.
With the Republican majority in the
next house estimated at 100, it is ap-
parent that there will not be enough
seats to accommodate the Republican
members on one side of the chamber,
and there will be an overflow of Re
publicans to the opposite side. The
same thing is true in the senate, and
Republican senators will have to take
seats among the Democrats in that
body.
In the SiXty-third congress the situa-
ton was the same as that which will
exist in the 'SiXty-seventh congress.
Then the Democrats, with the total
membership the same as now, 435,
had the largest majority on record,
1853. The Democrats swarmed to the
Republican side and formed a group
which thanked the Republicans on
either side. The overflow became
known as the Cherokee strip"
1t is proposed that the Democrats in
the next session will occupy that part
of the house they now hold, but shall
be moved nearer the center so as to
give the excess Republicans room at
their left.
In other words, one side will be
given over entirely to the Repub-
licans, with the Democrats in the cen
ter and the Republicans to the extreme

Wars of the United States.

A stray paragraph on WARS of the
United States" enumerates nineteen
wars. Ten of these were conflicts
with Indian tribes, of which the most
important were probably the Black
Hawk war and the Seminole war. If
these are called wars, an eleventh
might be added-the Modoc war of
1873. The important wars on the list
are the War of the Revolution, the
War of 1912, the Mexican war, the
Civil war, the Spanish war, the gar
with Germany. The minor conflicts
included in the list are: the war with
France, 1898; the war with Tripoli,
1901; the Philippine war, 1899.
