NO SUFFRAGE CALL
COMES IN VERMONT
Clement Declares He Can No'. Overlook
Certain Considerations for
Party Expediency
Rutland, Vt.. July 12.?Governor
Clement today issued a proclamation
* refusing to call the legislature in
special session to make possible ratification
of the federal amendment
for woman suffrage.
Governor Clement's proclamation
asserted that "as it stands and as interpreted
by the supreme court today,
the federal constitution threatens
the foundation of free popular
government."
The 17th amendment to the conc+itntinn
hp said. had. been lobbied
through congress and "state legislatures
by federal agents, and the 18th
amendment had been forced through
''by powerful and irresponsible organizations,
operating through paid
agents with unlimited funds.
"It is now proposed to force
through the 19th amendment for woman
suffrage in the same manner,
and also without the sanction of the
freemen.
"I have been asked to overlook
these considerations as a matter of
party expediency, but this is a matter
of principle, not expediency, and
L? 4.V.A+ Q Wf?ll eStab
1>H6 pdi \*y iiiAi in vuuvo v*
Iished principle of popular government
will suffer to the end."
The governor's proclamation follows
a conference which he held at
Washington recently with Senator
Harding, at which, it is understood,
the Republican nominee for president
* ?nncsihilitv of
discussed WlWl mm UK ?
having ratification completed by the
Republican legislature of Vermont.
In giving his reasons f-?r refusing
again to call a special session, Governor
Clement said the proposed
amendment clearly invades the constitution
of Vermont; that the present
legislature was elected before
the question of ratifying the federal
amendment had arisen, and that the
people of the state have had no opportunity
to express themselves on
the issue. The governor proposed
that the matter be taken up by the
1 A.
next legislature, and urgea t,riai ^candidates
for- election be required to
declare themselves on it.
The proclamation said in part:
"The provisions for changes in the
federal constitution, to which we
Vermonters 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,
i-f -favorable action is taken thereon
by the congress, be submitted to the
legislatures of the several states for
their action, and the supreme court
of the United States has in a recent
decision, Hawke vs. Smith, June 1,
1920, declared:
" 'The referendum provisions of
state constitutions and statutes can
not be applied, consistently with the
constitution of the United States in
the ratification or rejection of
amendments to it.'
"This decision leaves the ; I ople at
the mercy of any group of men, who
may lobby a proposal for change in
the federal constitution through con-,
gress and then through the legislatures
of the states.
nf this situation, I am
JL 11 II1& AMVV
asked to call the legislature of Vermont
into extraordinary sess 1.1, not
for the purpose of debating, consid.
ering, deliberating on the question,
but with a majority of its members
pledged beforehand and in private,
as I understand it, to ratify the propesed
amendment.
"If the people of Vermont, in accepting
a place in the union of states
inadvertently lost in whole or in
part the right of self-government,
and conferred it on a legislature,
there is all the more reason why a
legislature should not pass upon a
question which has arisen since their
ori^ nnon which their con
ei'Jtuyn cw.v. ?,
fctituents have had no opportunity to
express themselves.
"We must now either remodel our
constitution to conform with the
mandate of the supreme court of the
United .States or the constitution of
the United States must be amended
to provide f<v a referendum to the
freemen of the several states before i
? amendments to that constitution become
effective. As it stands and is
interpreted by the supreme court to
day, the federal constitution threat~
?>Ar?nlor
ens the foundation -oi irec puyuui
government."
Washington, July 12.?Suffrage
leaders have not abandoned hope of
action by the Vermont legislature on
the suffrage amendment.
The National Woman's party announced
today that Governor Clement's
refusal to call the state assembly
in special session would not be
accepted as final and that even larger
delegation than had been planned
. would call on Senator Harding, the
Republican presidential nominee at
* 1 00 ,<4- Vi im
Manon on JUiy cc. tu COO
with the necessity of carrying out
the suffrage plank and pledges of his
party and enfranchising the women
> of the nation in time for the coming
elections."
New York, July 12.?When informed
of Governor Clement's refusal
to call a special session of the
Vermont legislature to pass on the
federal woman suffrage amendment,
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president
of the National American Woman
Suffrage association, today issued the
following statement: j
"If it is correctly quoted, the de,
cision of Governor Clement is so con
trary to the dictates of justice, common
sense and political expediency
'that it convinces me that there is a
sinister and far reaching influence
behind it. To uncover that influence
is one of the immediate tasks of the
suffragists.
"The work of ratification will be
1 pushed strongly forward in Tennessee
and North Carolina."
Nashville, July 12.?Refusal today
of Governor Clement of Vermont
to call a special session of the
legislature to act upon ratification of
tfee suffrage amendment made the
[
f I
' rennessee suffragists redouble their j
efforts to secure favorable action by
i the state legislature.
Goverror Roberts has never for!
mally called- the legislature in spet-ial
; session but has merely stated he
j would convene the session on August
He declared yesterday he was
waiting upon the members of the assembly
to state what additional legislation
other than suffrage they
wished included in the call.
?
! Pensacola, July 12.?Governor
Catts has refused to call a special
session of the Florida legislature to
take action on the federal ' woman
suffrage amendment, it was announced
tonight by local suffrage leaders.
They said the governor contended
such action worn a tf useless. ,
WILL MAKE FIGHT '
IN EVERY STATE
Democratic Standard Bearers Hold
Conference at Ohio Governor's
I ... 1
Mansion in Columbus.
? i
Columbus, Ohio, July 12.?Franklin
D. Roosevelt, Democratic nomi-fnr
vir'P nresider.t announced to
day following a conference with
Governor Cox, the presidential candfidtate,
at the -governor's mansion
here that he and the governor had
decided that they would consider no
state as being hopeless and that they
would carry the fight into every state
in the union during the coming campaign.
j
This was the first definite announcement
to come from the heads
of the ticket since their nomination.
"Both the governor and myself are
not going to consider any state
i hopeless. We intend to go into every
one," Mr. Roosevelt sa> j
Mr. Roosevelt also reiterated Governor
Cox's recent intimation that
the campaign will be carried into
the West at an early date. He said he
expected to "take the stump im- j
mediately after his official notifica-'
tk>n. The notification ceremonies,
he said, he hoped would be at his
home at Hyde Park, N. Y., and that
he expected to resign as assistant
secretary of the navy about August
1. His desire to begin preparations
of his notification speech, Mr. Roosei
velt said, would hasten his resigna
tion. He will go to East Port, Me.,
where his family now is, to prepare'
(the speech. s
The vice presidential nominee stat
ed that he expects to be in Dayton
on July 20 when the Democratic national
committee meets there and
olso that he hopes to see the president
soon. He said the time of his
conference with the president would
depend solely upon the desire of the(
chief executive. !
Governor Cox did not discuss the
tirifVi 1-n'c rnnniTif mate
CUIilCJ CIILC VI icii . 0
i other than to say they had # talked'
over some of the campaign plans and
that they expected to continue the,
conference tonight until Mr. Roosevelt
leaves for the East at 9:36. . ;
It was Governor Cox's first day at
the executive offices since his nomination.
He arrived on anx early
train from Dayton this morning and
went directly to tne capuoi. az an
| informal reception , the governor
| -poke from the steps of the s-,at3;
! house to several thousand people as;
seeing he hai "never broken confi;
Jence with the people of the com-!
! monwealth/' and adding that he had
j the "deepest conviction that the
'guarantee of progressive govt-it.-|
| ment would be adopted by the peo-'
| pie cf the nation in the election of
i J'v. Roosevelt and myself/ '
The governor received a telegram
from San Francisco from Wilbur
Marsh, treasurer of the Democratic
I national committee, stating that E.1
; H. Moore of Youngstown, Ohio, ',
I Governor Cox's preconvention mana|
ger was seriously ill in a hospital
i there from a nervous reaction. The,
message stated that he was under a
nurse's care and that no one was permitted
to see him. It added, however,
there was no occasion fori
alarm. The governor immediately!
sent a mesage of sympathy express- i
ing the hope that his manager would:
be able to be out soon.
At the conclusion of the confer-1
ence tonight Governor Cox stated
that although there had been discussion
of the campaign plans, conclusions
were of such a nature that they
could not be given out until after
the meeting of the national committee.

day. Governor Cox stated they had
discussed the convention and Mrs.
Harriman indicated that she would
lend her support to the ticket.
San Francisco, July 12.?Reports
that E. H. Moore, pre-convention
campaign manager for Governor Cox
of Ohio, was seriously ill in a San
Francisco hospital were denied here
tonight by Gavin McNab, who was'
j associated with L\ore in convention
activities.
"Mr. Moore is a guest at a private
residence in Alameda county," Mr.
McNab said. "I understand he has a
slight cold, nothing at all serious.
He is to return to San Francisco tomorrow."
Washington, July 12.?Senator
Carter Glass of Virginia arrived
here today from the Democratic na'
tional convention, declaring that
Governor Cox, the presidential nominee
is a "genuine Democrat and if
elected will give the country a safe
and clean administration."
Shortly after his arrival, Senator
Glass, who was chairman of the
committee on resolutions, went to
I the White House but did not see
I President Wilson. He expressed himself
as "greatly pleased" with the
work of the convention and said, "he
looked for a corking good campaign
by the party with every prospect of
victory in November."
x nc v ii^uiia ocnai-ui twu j
years in the house of representatives
with Governor Cox and said he regarded
him highly.
"Cox is a genuine Democrat, and
if elected will give the country a
safe and -j'ean administration," said;
; Mr. Glass. j
"Of course I think well of the platform
as I had a hand in its preparation.
The convention thought well
of it too, indeed the convention unanimously
declined to permit, it to
be tampered with in any respect. Itj
was impervious alike to rhetoric am! j
sche?ninjr. It was adopted without1
alteration of a word and expresses i
the convictions and the hop^s and
the aspirations of the Democratic,
party without evasions or reservations
of any kind."' i
