Questionable Viewpoint.
Barre Times

In his response to the unanimous re-
quest of the Republican state committee
for special session of the Vermont
legislature to act on the federal woman
suffrage amendment, Governor Clement
seems to have gone out of his way to
arouse suspicion concerning the sincerity
of the committee. He says that the rea-
sons advanced by the state committee
for calling the legislature may be good
political propaganda" and that if the re-
quest was SO intended as political propa-
ganda "the resolution which YOU have
adopted will adequately serve such pur-
pose" There was nothing in the Repub-
lican state committees telegram to Gov :
ernor Clement to indicate that the re-
quest was intended other than as frank
appeal in behalf of the woman's suffrage
cause In the country as whole and not
merely in Vermont The other part of
Governor Clements letter of declination
was more to the point and more diplo-
matte than the part already referred to !;
but the viewpoint taken by the execu-
tive is, we believe, subject to question.
The federal constitution supersedes the
state constitution in all cases where there
is conflict. The federal constitution saws
'Hae rioPooeo amendments must De SUD-
mitted to the state legislatures for ratif
cation and if approved by the legsla-
lures of three fourths of the states the
proposed amendments shall become q
part OF the federal constitution. The
state constitution, in enumerating the
duties of the Vermont legislature. NAV
declare that the legislature shall not
alter, abolish, or infringe any part of
this tstatel constitution" as Governor
Clement says; but the state constitution

town. They have son at home and an
other in Chicago. Mr. Miller is near rel
alive of Henry H., Don H. and the Misses
Miller of Brattleboro.
The North American of Philadelphia in
in it's issue announcing Mr.. Miller's resig-
nation published picture of Mr.. Miller
and said: Ten years ago Mr.. Miller pre-
sented his resignation to the board, but
was prevailed upon to reconsider his de.
cision and retain his post as head of the
school, Since that time he has presented
his resignation at various times, but it has
always been refused
Mr.. Miller insists that the limitations
imposed by advancing age, and the need
of the directing energies Of younger man,
ARE sufficient reasons why he should now
be released.

does not presume to set itself up over
the federal constitution and declare that
the proposal, after being acted upon ia
vorably by the legislature, must go to the
people for approval. The objection raised
by Governor Clement does not carry con.
viction as to the tenability of his ground
If Governor Clement had said that the
matter of expense of calling a special
session of the legislature was the strong
reason why he declined to issue the cal
he would have found more support from
the people of the state.

POSITION CONDEMNED
Newspapers of State Point Out Flaws in Governors
Argument Against Special Session = Might Better
Have Based Opposition on Ground of Expense Than
on Constitution

have spoken editorially, are unanimous
in condemning the attitude of Governor
Clement in refusing to heed the plea of
the Republican state committee for a
special legislative session to ratify the
federal suffrage amendment. Below

have been voiced:
