rrtdar, March 7, 1019 Secretary of State Becomes Governor Beu W. Olcott, once appointed and twice elected secretary of state, is now governor of Oregon,' having succeeded to that office by the pro vision of the constitution of the state, upon the death of Governor Wlthycombe Monday night. By the constitution Mr. Olcott holds both offices of governor and secretary of state. He Is the state's 16th gover nor. By being thrust suddenly into the executive's chair, Mr. Oicutt will have a heavy task at the start in the consideration of all bills passed by the recent legislature that had not. been finally disposed of by Gover nor Wlthycombe. A further duty will be the appointment of several officers and members of boards or commissions created by the assem bly. He will have authority to turn out of office the appointees of Gov. Wlthycombe, but whether he will avail himself of this power relative to any office is a matter of conjec ture. Under the constitution Secretary Olcott will not serve as governor thru the entire unexpired term of Governor Wlthycombe, but only un til January 1, 1921. Either he must be elected to succeed himself or an other elected in his place at the gen eral election of November, 1920. Should Mr. Olcott choose to hold the office of secretary of state and gov ernor, he will have two votes as a member of the state board of con trol and will control all actions of that board. Secretary Olcott was a candidate for the Republican guber natorial nomination in the primary election last May, but Governor Wlthycombe defeated him and other aspirants.
