Oregon Well Governed With Five Men Taking Turns as State Chief Salem-il'PD-Governor, governor, who's got the governor? That has been a good question here this week, since no less than five men will have been governor by week's end. State Treasurer Howard C. Belton sat in the governor's chair today, but Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. takes over when he returns from California Friday morning. Senate President Harry Boivin (D-Klamath Falls) will de pose Appling Friday evening, when Boivin returns home, also from California. Boivin will serve until Sunday, when Gov. Mark Hatfield flies home from Ohio. Earlier in the week, House Speaker Robert B. Duncan (D Medford) was governor while Hatfield and Boivin were gone. First in line of succession to governor is the Senate presi dent. Then conies the House speaker, secretary of state and state treasurer. A successor takes over whenever the elected governor steps out of state. But under Oregon law the successor is not an acting governor, he is the full-fledged governor, with full powers. After state treasurer, the Oregon constitution makes no provision for governor. No one knows what would happen if the governor and his four successors should die suddenly, or be incapacitated. It's never happened. Museum Visitors Exceed Record Year's Total During the first ten months in 19G2 visitors at the.
