'''Benjamin Wilson Olcott''' (October 15, 1872 – July 21, 1952), known as '''Ben W. Olcott''', was an [[Oregon]] [[Republican]] who served as the state's governor for a term from 1919 to 1923, previously being the Secretary of State. Known largely for his unwavering opposition towards the [[Ku Klux Klan]], Olcott's principled stand against racial and religious bigotry ultimately ended his political career in a era where the KKK heavily influenced state politics.
