She moved to Jackson in 1944 as the wife of the governor, and lived here until his death two years later, 1946. The following year she offered for State Tax collector and swept three opponents aside in the first primary. She had been comfortably reelected since.

Mrs. Bailey's death was announced to the House of Representatives by Speaker Walter Sillers and a standing vote adopted a resolution of respect presented by one of Mrs. Bailey's close friends, Rep. Betty Jane Long of Lauderdale county. Gov.

J. P. Coleman announced the surprise appointment of Winter at his morning press conference. By his action, the governor let it be known that he was re-paying a political indebtedness to a man who gave him all-out support in his campaign last summer. "I was unable ot help my friend, Rep.

Winter, gain a cherished ambition to be speaker of the house of representatives, due to the fact that I had to try to maintain harmony in the legislature. It was a hard decision to make at the time," Coleman explained. "But today, those who said 1 would accept the help of a friend, then desert him, can take a look," the chief executive cited.
