Description
So the Governor became Senator, the Lieutenant-Governor became Governor, and Kentucky had a swell time when A.B. "Happy" Chandler resigned as head of the state to take up the US Senate duties of the late M.M. Logan. Lieutenant Governor Keen Johnson succeeded Chandler as chief state executive and conferred the senate appointment on him. Above Chandler is shown in center, with arm around Congressman Virgil Chapman of Paris, Kentucky. Johnson is at right. Picture taken during ceremony here.
