Must Olcott Run at Primary 1 or
Shalt He Fill Out Withycombe's
Unexpired Tenure? '
Salem, Oct. 18. The status of Ben
W. Olcott as governor has again been
brought Into the limelight in a let
ter by Sam A., Kozer, deputy secre
tary of state, to Attorney General
Brown, asking for an opinion as to
whether provision should bo made
for infcluding the office, of governor
of .Oregop as one ot the offices to be
voted ,upon at the-1920 election?
it Kozer's Interest ' In ' th matter "
prompted by; the approach of the time
when his office must begin preparations
of the necessary blanks and ballot forms
for the primary election next May, -these
including official certification to the
county; clerks of the various offices to
be filled at such election. .
LEKGTH OP .TEBM DOUBTFUL
x- Although the supreme court, after
lengthy deliberation, ruled on the status
of the governorship in an opinion handed
down early ' last Jane, there was - no
predominating, opinion . bearing on the
length ef Olcott s term as executive, and
the problem.'-therefore, has been as per
plexing aipce the rendition, of the opin
ion as i, was . oetorev , ? r
' ? At thatrtlrne. three, menibers! of the
supreme court Justice McBride, Bean
and Johns declared, unqualifiedly, that
Olcott was governor to fact to serve out
the remainder of the unexpired term of
the late Governor Withycombe. -Justice
Bennett, although refusing to express
any opinion on this phase of the ques
tion, because he claimed it -was- not
property before the court, did say that
if he should don his official robes and
give utterance to his "half baked street
opinions," he would agree -with Chief
JuBtlee McBride on this point. .
FOUR UPHOLD OLCOTT
ThusI it was contended. In effect of
JTiot In actualKy, four -of the seven mem
bers of Che court expressed it as their
opinions that Governor . Olcott should
serve out the unexpired term of Governor
"Withycombe. -
Whether , orv not Attorney-. a General
Brown - has changed JjIs opinion on the
governor's V status, since - the court's
opinion was rendered remains to be eeen
when he prepares his answer.: to Kos-
er's request. Prior to that time, how
ever, he was very emphatic in his opin
ion that Olcott was entitled to serve out
the unexpired term of Governor Withy
