Governor Carlson is remembered for his emphasis on mental health programs and highway construction. In 1949, Kansas state Senator Clyde Martin Reed (1871–1949) died, and Carlson appointed Harry Darby (1895–1987) to fill the seat. Darby continued his service in the Senate until Carlson himself was elected to fill the seat in 1950. Instead of waiting until January to be sworn in, he took his seat on November 28, 1950, and left the governorship to Frank Leslie Hagaman (1894–1966) who served less than two months.<ref name=findagrave/>
