read that in the event of the chief eX-
ecutive's death the secretary of state
should become governor, and it was the
custom that in the absence of the gov
ernor his private secretary should be-
come acting head of the state. Oregon
of course, had had other governors than
George +. Chamberlain. And during the
absence of these men private secretaries
mad often become the acting heads OF
the state. The whole thing, therefore.
hinged upon the fact that never before
had governor had woman as his pri-
waite secretary. Consequently, several
years before Oregon took its place among
the equal suffrage states there had been
a Madam Governor at its head.
And once Mrs Shelton, for period of
a week. was actually the governor, al
though she was still called acting gov
ernor." That was when Gov. Cham ber-
lain, elected to the Senate, took the train
for Washington February 81, 1909. with

sworn in as a senator the following

one above Mrs Shelton and for those
days she was. in fact, governor of the
