GOV. Clement. in his statement,
said:
Il have been calling on Sen,
HardinS, and we discussed the state
OF the union agreeably, you can be
suse, and we discussed suffrage rati-
hcation by Vermont. Our state re-

Hardings views and he suggested
an early call My reluctance is due
to feeling that Vermont prefers to
change the fundamental laws very
deliberately. We can only change
our state constitution by one direct

VOrable action of two legislatures.
We are reluctant, therefore, TO rati-
fy by a legislature which was elected
at a time when suffrage was not
an issue"
