WITHYCOMB
BOOM
E
FOR ANOTHER TERM
now being Rumored
Supposition Had Been That
He Would Retire When His
Term Comes to End.
WOULD STAND ON RECORD
Cabinet Said to BelleTe That the Qot
ernor Has Been Misunderstood
by Some People.
It is asserted by tho.e close to him
that Governor James Withycombe will
be a candidate for renominatlon and re
election two years from now. It has
been the supposition up to this time
that the governor would not seek re
election, but that, his life's ambition
having been satisfied by his election
to the gubernatorial chair, he would
retire again to private life at the end
of his term.
H. J. Schulderman, corporation com
missioner, and next to O. Palmer Put
nam perhaps, the ranking- member of
the governor's advisory cabinet, made
the statement recently In a general
conversation with personal friends and
acquaintances, go that It is not sub
ject to the usual denial, that Oover- I
nor Withycombe would be a candidate!
to succeed himself. The governor s
advisers believe that he should go be
fore the people at the election two
years hence, upon the record made by
the administration and ask to be re
turned to office.
Primary Election Shock.
The statement Is credited to the
governor as having been made some ,
time back, that he would stand in Ore
gon history as the most misunderstood
man who ever held the governor's
chair. The result of the recent prl
nary election was a shock not only to
the governor- but to his advisers and
it was probably this as a climax that
has crystallized the desire for the
governor to attempt reelection.
The cabinet believes that the admin
istration of the governor has been mis
understood and misinterpreted by the
people of thj state, and that through
his candidacy all these questions of
controversy would be held out afresh,
and met to the satisfaction of the vot
ers. This clarity of view, it r believed,
would redound to the benefit of the
administration and result in return to
office.
Xdttle Ministers Concerned.
Looking at the subject from the out
side, however. It might logically be
surmised that the little ministers of
the administration are more concerned
with the governor being a candidate
than is the governor himself. This
because the abolishment of definite ten
ure of appointive office by the 1915
legislature leaves all of the governor's
administrative advisers at the mercy
of the succeeding chief executive. As
the law now reads, when the governor
steps out of office in 11. his succes
sor has the power to replace every ap
pointment made by Governor Withy
combe with men of his own choosing,
so that the continuation of Governor
Withycombe in office is vital to the
continuation of them in official life.
