he was forced out of the Ore
gon gubernatorial race by pro
mise of political reward.
In a letter to Morgan, Nor

of Morgan's charge, "attribut

governor's race to a promise or
reward of some sort offered to
me and to a political clique forc
ing me out."

wrong on both counts," Norblad
said. "My political actions have
always been of a very independ
ent nature and ' no clique or
group approached me directly
or indirectly regarding my
withdrawal."

stood by what he had previously
said, that his decision was based
on numerable requests from
leaders in both the executive
