Governor Olcott has accepted hie defeat wtih good grace and his comment upon the outcome of Tuesday's balloting which has cost him the executive seat is without any touch of bitterness or resentment. "Our defeat is decisive and the people of Oregon have determined they desire another ' executive," the governor declared in a state ment to the press this morning. "To all who unhesitatingly given their loyal and splendid support to me and the principles for which I stand I extend by most sincere and hearty thanks. Their friendships will be one of the most treasured memories I may take back with me to private life "I stood for certain -principles in this campaign with the firm belief and knowledge that those principles are right. Eventually they will prevail. "I have no regret in leaving the governor's chair. Not that I have been anything but proud to serve the people of a great state in the capacity of their chief executive but because It is a chair of stress and trouble and during the ap; proaching years, with new and great problems facing the execu tive, it will be all the more so. I owe the people of Oregon a deep debt of gratiude for their (Commence 'in mo during many years in public office. I sincere ly trust that I may have been of some service to my state and its people.
