field, has been generally conceded
to be a candidate for the repub
lican: nomination in May. Asked
Monday if he would run, the sen
ator replied that "the family and
the- friends of the late governor
are weighed down with" grief and
all citizens of Oregon are bowing
their heads In sorrowful respect.
Under these circumstances I do
not care to make a public state
ment." Denial that he was a candidate
for the -nomination was made by
Tom Kay, state treasurer, in re
sponse to a printed story Monday
afternoon in the Capital Journal
In which the headline read: "Tom
Kay to be a Candidate for Gor
ernor." Mr. Kay declared that a
"great many ; people had urged
him to take up the race but as yet
X hare not had time to thinir
about it." Kay said that within
the next few days he was going
to ' tire the matter considerable
thought. He added that he had
heard a great deal of encourage
ment for a race even before the
death jot the gorernor But that he
never seriously considered oppos
ing his long-standing friend.
-Wait a few days," said Mr. Kay
In making final statement.
Bennett Not Tet
Quite Ready to Talk
Senator J. E. Bennett of Mult
nomah ,county, already generally
understood to be a candidate, de
clared to The Statesman repre
sentative that "I am rather re
luctant to discuss my candidacy
at such an early date but since
you ask me, I will say that my
. record as a representative and
also as a etata senator will be my
platform.
, Bennett declared . that "other
issues will be freely discussed as
they are brought out. He said
further: "It is my hope that this
election may prore a turning
point in Oregon politics and that
people will cast their rote for or
a rain s t a candidate on his past
record of performances, rather
than on promises. In this cam
paign as In my previous ones I
shall rely for my support upon
the men and women of Oregon
who beliere in the things" for
winch I have fought and further
beliere that we need .more busi
ness men In public office."

Mrs. Norblad Indicated that she

catne in and Mrs. Norblad an
nounced that she and Miss Wal

And Miss Walton added. "Tea.
I taught Walter. He had the
most toothsome smile and was
the most modest child."
Speaking of modesty, . Walter

Mrs. Norblad truly is modest. In
discussing a house, which had
been suggested as a possibility tor
solrlng their lirlng quarters, she
asked If there was an oil burner
and said she would not know
what to do without one then
hastily she added, "but don't

both Salem papers; sh owas de
spairing that IX should hare to be
so, and then said, "The first Joys

that, not unlike her predecessor,
she is a rery real, rery human,

NORBLAD, AND HIS FAMILY
Beatrice Walton to Carry
On Despite Sudden Blow
Taking Friend and Ch
Standing at a window from
which the late Gorernor Patter
son had many times stood and
looking out orer the tops of the
same great trees of the state
house grounds orer which ho had
looked. Miss Beatrice Walton, pri.
rate secretary to the late gorer
nor spon-e orer the telephone to
some friend calling to offer con
solation Monday afternoon follow
ing the funeral service for the late
Gorernor L I Patterson. She
spoke in a low roice misty with
unshed tears, rery contrary to her
nsual crisp, efficient tone, and
this is what she was saying, "I
shall do as he would hare done -tear
a sheet from the book and
try to forget!"
In all the routine of continuing
the great state's business, the
cruel, but perhaps necessary haste
which seemed to leave little room
tor the expression of any feeling
except that of excitement and bus
tle,, there was one who perhaps
more than any other save Mrs.
Patterson, who really knew the
man for whom the state was sup
posed to grieve, and whoso heart
waa truly aching with a loss so
sudden that it eren staggered the
cold machinery of routine.
From the window she turned
and sat down at her accustomed
desk, facing me. Her eyes were
heavy with tears that had been
shed, and with those that would
still come quickly If sternest self
control had not been nsed; and
they circled with loss of -sleep.
Miss Walton, thinking the gorer
nor to be tn nowise a serious con
dition had left Saturday for San
Francisco on business. She re
ceived the wire telling of the gor
ernors sudden death, Saturday
night on the train, but not until
it was too late for her to make
connections with a train return
ing te Portland. She had to go on
to 8aa Francisco and there she
turned hack and immediately re
traced her steps arriring at the
state hoase during the impres
sive funeral service conducted in
the noose of representatires.
Her first words as she faced me
were I am terribly distressed that
pened. I had no idea that such a
X was not hero, when this hap-
tning had the renxotest possibility
of happening.' .,;A"
And then she continued in a
to ice that did not stay perfectly
steady all of the time Ha was
the finest man and the most con
siderate man tor whom I hare
erer worked. I nerer saw him
lose his point In aU the three
years la whieh I had boon asso
ciated with him. He was nerer
TisfMr disturbed."
Continuing more ' slowly she
said, "Ho was always kindly and
considerate or the comfort and
pleasure ot those who worked
with him, or" those who came .to
him tor help or advice or requests.
It made no difference how small

the matter. It has been A. raluable
three years for me. He taught me
much. He was judicially minded
to a remarkable degree; both
sides of a Question would be
viewed impartially, a decision
would be made as fairly as he
knew how to make it and then he
would dismiss the matter from
his mind."
Gorernor Patterson's unfinish
ed term of office will go down In
history as one of the outstanding
ly smooth and efficient terms in
Oregon state history. Miss Walton
says tnis js true not because the
term was uneventful or free from
disturbing influences far from
it but because of the marvelous
ability ot the man at the helm to
iron out difficulties, quietly and
Justly. , -
But with all this sadness in her
heart. Miss Walton turned to the
problems of the new gorernor and
his wife left almost In bewilder
ment with the sudden responsibil
ities and displayed some of the
poise which, she perhaps had ab
sorbed from the man so recently
her superior. Speaking with Mrs.
Norblad tn the governor's office,
she said, "The problems win all
ravel out If yon take things slow
ly and giro them a bit ot time,"
and continued that with Mr. Nor
blad's Una haekgronnd of legal
training and his serious and thor
ough training in. the legislature
there would be erery reason to
make his tenure of office a suc
cess. And she concluded by Quiet
ly pledging her erery effort to
ward that end.

Mr. Sams said that no basis for
a merger had been found during

Reports that the two concerns
were contemplating a merger
were first heard a few weeks ago
and it then became known that
the possible advantages of such a

Incoming Executive Making
Plans to Continue Work
Of Mr. Patterson
Governor and Mrs. A. W. Nor
blad arrived 4n Salem yesterday
noon to attend the funeral of Mr.
Norblad's predecessor in otiice.
L L. Patterson. They arovo
from Astoria, their home, coming
by the Patterson home at Eola
wher Jhey paid their respect to
the former governor s widow.
They arrived at the state house
at one o'clock. The governor was
immediately -greeted by newspa
permen and old acquaintances.
Following the funeral Governor
Nor Nad conferred with Miss Bea
trice Walton, secretary of the
governor, who reached home on
the afternoon train following a
hurried trip to California. He
gavo attention to pressing busi
ness at the executive office and
then left with Mrs. Norblad to re
turn to Astoria to spend Christ
mas at the family home there.
The governor will return to Salem
following Christmas, though he
did not know Just .which day it
would be.
Administration Along
Same lines Planned
Governor worDiaa naa no par
ticular statement to make on ar
riring in Salem. "The whole mat
ter of my succession to the gover
norship has come about so sud
denly that I hare scarcely had
time to organize any plans," he
said. I did not erer know the
gorernor was ill, so was quits
stunned when" word, came of his
death. X think the gorernor was
making a successful administra
tor ot state- affairs on sane and
conservative lines. I hope to con
tinue In the same program. While
I am a younger man and may
have a viewpoint slightly differ
ent from Mr. Patterson's I hops
my administration may be simi
larly sound and sane.
'I plan no change in political
appointments. I want to take np
the work and carry on the affairs
ot state with as little break as
possible."
Arrangement ot Private
Affairs Considered
The governor mentioned the
problem of handling his private
business affairs. He has a sub
stantial law practice in Astoria
and arrangement must be made
for carrying It forward. These
problems make it uncertain just
