MRS, ROSS IS “NEW GOVERNOR OF WYOMING 4 Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 6.—Mrs. Nel- lie Taylor Ross, formally took over the reigns of government here to- day as Wyoming’s first woman. ex- ecutive. She buckled down to her task today and her routine, called for an early appearance in the executive chambers where she will prepare her message for the legislature which convenes Jan, 13. She refused to announce just what the message would contain but it is known that she will recommend that the axe be applied to the salary list and that a policy of sharp re- trenchment be practiced. A climax to more than 55 years of equal rights for women in Wyoming came shortly after noon jyesterday when Mrs. Nellie Taylor Ross for- mally took over her duties as gover- “nor of the state. Inaugural ceremonies, spartan-like in their severity and simplicity, marked the induction into office of the first woman governor of any commonwealth inthe United States. Asks “Divine Guidance” With a pledge placing her mental and physical faculties at the dis- posal of the people for the adminis- tration of affairs of state and call- ing for “divine guidance” to direct her, a woman, wreathed in mourning for her husband, the late Governor Wm. B. Ross, stepped into the place made vacant by the death of her husband less than three months ago. : Tears welled up in her eyes as acting Governor Lucas, in a brief. address, pledged to her the fullest cooperation of the state officials in her administration of the govern- ment, called upon the electorate of Wyoming to stand solidly behind her and paid a glowing tribute to yr virtues of her husband. Many Congratulations Last night, flushed with happi- ness and excitement and saddened in turn with the thought of her re- cent bereavement, the new governor rifled through a great heap of con gratulatory telegrams coming from persons of all walks of life the coun- try over. Included in, the Jot was one: from Mrs. Miriam, A.

She also added that she had “a perfectly glorious time” campaigning in La- Moure county. Miss Sanderson decided to take time from her duties as a partner in the Cunningham Mercantile store at LaMoure to make the race, at the the request of many men and wom- en.

She also taught in the Wash- ington school at Fargo, and later was chosen high school principal in her home town of LaMoure. After one year of this she was elected county sup@yintendent ‘of schools there, Last fall Miss Sanderson didn’t bother much about her own job.

A. Nestos retired from of- , to make way for appointment of new board satisfactory to Gover- nor Sorlie, were accepted by the In- dustrial Commission, in meeting this morning.
