THE SUNDAY OREG ONI ANV PORTLAND. NOVEMBER 23, 1919. sr Gift Store sis I H inmn s II SALEM. Or.. Nov. 22. (Special.) fThat preparations are now well ad- '. vanced whereby a well-known resi- J dent of Portland prooably within the next two weeks will file mandamus proceedings in the Oregon supreme ' court to compel the secretary of state to make provision on the ballot for the nomination of governor at the primary election next May, is indi cated in a report reaching the capito today. While no information is available here as to the exact nature of the j contentions to be advanced, it is said that he will be guided in preparing the action by the recent legal opinion) of Attorney-G-eneral Brown. This opinion, it will be recalled, was given by the attorney-genera! in response to a letter prepared by bam A. Kozer, assistant secretary of state, asking whether provision should be made for the office of governor in his statements to the county clerks certi fying the state and district officers to be elected at the 19.J0 elections. Place Not Provided. As in his opinion given prior to the time Governor Olcott filed a friendly action against State Treasurer Hoff to collect his salary as chief execu tive of Oregon for the month of April, and which was later the subject of a group of opinions handed down by th supreme court, Mr. Brown ad vised the asststant secretary of state that Mr. Olcott, was governor in fact and was entitled to serve out the un expired term of the fate Governor Withycombe. In view of these con tentions the attorney-general also in formed Mr. Kozer that he need not make any provisions for the office of governor in his statements to the county clerks. In order, however, that the question might again be taken to the supreme court for final determination, the at-torney-generil pointed out that any candidate for the office of governor i or any citizen and voter had a legal right under the law to file mandamus proceedings at any time when the eec . retary of state should declare his re fusal to make provision for the gov ernor's election. Although the proposed mandamus proceedings will no doubt create much interest in political circles of Oregon, practica lly -Al of the lawyers who have given the matter any thought are of the opinion that Mr. Brown's advice to the assistant secretary of state was founded on sound law, and that he will be upheld in his con tentions by the supreme court. Low Im Quoted. The section of law applicable in the case involving Mr. Olcott's ad vancement from the office of secre tary of state to governor upon the death of the late executive, James "Withycombe, follows: , "In case of the removal of the gov ernor from office, or his death, resig nation, or inability to discharge the duties of his office, the same shall devolve on the secretary of state; and in case of removal from office, death, resignation or inability, both of the governor and secretary of state, the president of the senate, shall act as governor, until his disability is re moved, or a governor be elected." In the somewhat celebrated case of Chadwlck vs. Earhart, upon which Mr. Brown based his opinion, and which is said to be directly In point with the one now at issue, it was held by the Oregon supreme court that "when the governor resigns, the du ties of the governor's office devolved upon the secretary of state, who con tinues to perform them for the re mainder of the term of the outgoing governor." Nearly ten years later, while anno tating the Oregon laws, Governor Lord, who previously had gained a wide reputation as being one of the most learned supreme court justices In the entire west, approved the opin ion In the Chadwick-Earhart case, and so stated in his compilation. UfcUion Held Applicable. Attorneys say there is no doubt but that the decision in the Chadwick- Earhart case applies to Mr. Olcott and that in addition to being governor i tn fact he is entitled to serve until I 1923. when the late Governor Withy combe's term of office would have ex pired. To rule otherwise, these same at torneys say it would be necessary for the supreme court to reverse itself, and thereby establish a new prece dent in the history of legal affairs in this state. Governor Olcott, who as yet has given no intimation that he would be a candidate for governor at a subse quent election, has repeatedly ex pressed himself as desirous of having nis siaius as executive determined bv the supreme court. To bring this about he says he would welcome raan damas proceedings in line with the suggestions of Attorney-G e n e r a 1 Brown and the quicker they are insti tuted the better. , A Musical Masterpiece and an Artistic Gem WOULD you adorn your home with the most beautiful of all possessions?

The carload shipment to New York is but the beginning of regular weekly shipments of a car a week, ana it Just before departing for Portland a few days ago to attend the livestock exposition, A. H. Lea. secretary of the state fair board, said he had received many letters from various sections of the state urging him to make tho race for secretary of state, but that he would defer definite decision pending his return from Chicago early in De cember. "Although I have not yet made any decision, said Air. Lea, you ! ran be assured that if I enter the con- I test I will make a vigorous cam- ' paign."
