Governor Clement in a Corner.

Governor Clement demands time
to think over the supreme court rul-
ing regarding the submission Of con.
stitutional amendments TO a refer
endum vote That is to say. His Elk.
cellency declares that to be the Tea.
son for further delay in not calling
a special session of the Legislature
10 act upon the suffrage amendment.
The governor had his mind made
up many. many years ago on all
points The decision is clear cut.
anyone who can read and write knows
what means the unanimous opinion of
the United States supreme court JUS
tees, and Governor Clement is an in
telligent man. The fact of the matter
is that His Excellency is left without
a leg to stand on If he still persists in
refusing to call special session to de.
eide on what action the legislators
will take in the matter OF equal vot
ing rights for women. Rutland News.
One thing is certain. Governor
Clement ought not to take much time
10 aLHouucih6 WHAT MS dHdy ISIS vi tHe
supreme court decision leads him to.
Some statement is due from him. The
general concensus is that the decision
was a complete washout for the gov
iernor. Taking his previous opposition
and the grounds on which 1t was bas-
ed one would expect, with the law so
clearly defined by the court of high
est appeal, that the governor would
now announce his intention of calling
special session. The governor really
is in rather a tight box and to most
people it will seem that the only way
out is special session. If he finds
another reason for not calling one
there win be natural doubts as to the
sincerity of his first position st. AL

Irish Sympathizers
Present Demand for Republic
Of Ireland To Sec. Colby

Washington, Oct. 27.-Arguments
favoring recognition Of the New
republic of Ireland" were formally
presented to Secretary Colby at the
Stat department tonight by a dele
cation Of Irish sympathizers headed
by Frank p Walsh.
Secretary Colby listened without
comment, but cautioned the chairman
when reference was made to Eamonn
de Valera. as president" Of Ireland
that as secretary Of state he could
hear them only on the understanding
that they we're as American citizens
and not as representatives of officials
Of the Irish people.
I'VE demand recognition not as a
favor" said Mr.. Walsh. but as a
right. The Irish republic is now es-
tablished as a de jure and de facto
government. Its stability and repre-
sentative character are attested by
the endorsement Of the ballots Of
ninety per cent of the Irish people.
The courts Of the Irish republic are
functioning daily and their decisions
are respected by the entire popula-
ton"
Mr.. Colby told the committee when
it's presentation was concluded that
he would study the stenographic re-
port that was taken.

PauPs accession to and Constantine's

Some of constantines partisans

after the elections, SO as not to de-
stroy the platform OF his adherents.

Notwithstanding an order limiting
the number Of persons who might par
ticipate in the funeral procession to
one hundred apd the presence Of two
armored cars and SIX lorries with
troops, thousands of persons followed
the body to the cemetery. The dia-
play Of armed force was ever greater
than at the funeral of Micheal Fitz-
gerald. the other hunger striker who
died in Cork jail, but this created none
of the tension that prevailed at Fitx-
gerald's burial.
As the comm, draped in the Repub-
lican nag was taken into the church
the British officers and soldiers near
the entrance to the church grounds
saluted. Then they climbed into the
lorries which. with the armored cars,
fell in behind the carriages of the
mourners.
The burial had an impressive finale
tho firing Of salute over the crave
by squad Of six men Of the Irish
Volunteers. The military had depart
cd. The soldiers did not enter the
cemetery. They drove of before the
burial service had concluded. They
made no attempt to interfere with the

Murphy has resulted in tho following
verdict:
He felonously killed himself BY
