These letters, in their healthy diversi-

which is supported by other surveys OF
opinion, that members of the American
expeditionary forces are little likely to
be "stampeded" for any candidate, on
any ground, this year. Those who def
nitely favor military president and
mention particular candidate, are,
with one or two exceptions, for Wood,
and some others favor Wood, but not
for the reason that he is military
man. The prevailing sentiment among
returned soldiers is not favorable to
army officers as class. And this per

CLEMENT REITERATES VIEWS.
Regarding Request for Calling Special
Session of Legislature.

Burlington. March 9.-Seven .woms
on called on Governor Clement at the
Hotel Vermont yesterday TO propose
he reconsider his refusal to call the
legislature Of the state of Vermont to-
gether in special session to vote on
the suffrage amendment. 1t was strong.
" emphasized by various speakers that
definite answer at this time was not
looked for. that the committee mere
ly wished to put things before the gov
ernor in new light that he might
think over their proposal.
The governors reply was: MY rea.
son for not calling the legislature to-
gether. at this time was because this
question changes the state constitu-
s. ton and l believe that any change in
the state constitution should be made
only after it has been submitted to the
voters of this state This is one of the
provisions of the state constitution"
