Successor to
LOOMS Sought

Madison. Wis, Dec. SINS -
While all Wisconsin mourned the
death OF Gov.-elect Orland :.
Loomis, Progressive, who died sud
denly following a series of heart
attacks, legal authorities were ppz-
zled today as to who would sue
coed him in office.
The death OF the 49.year-old gov
ernor-elect who was swept into Of.
flee by a plurality of more than
100000 votes last November was
attributed partly to exhaustion
brought on by his successful guher-
Material campaign in which he de-
feated Gov. julius p. He'll, Repub-
lican, who was seeking his third
term.
As arrangements we're being
made to have Loomis' body lie in
state at the state capitol. legal
authorities expressed a variety Of
opinion as to his successor. While
some attorneys believed that Lieut..
Gov. Walter S. Goodland would be
inaugurated for a third term Jan.
and then automatically assume
the post OF acting governor Of
Wisconsin, others believed that
Gov. He'll who ran second in the
November election would assume
the post.
Ward Rector, deputy attorney
general, pointed out that the state
statutes were not specific on the
matter and added:
"Quite possibly the supreme
court will have to decide who will
become governor Jan. 4. Any CHI
zen has the right to take the mat
ter before the court, and such a
move probably will be necessary
before the issue Is settled"
