The latest to be named is Walter Sillers, longtime Speaker of the House. Others are Lt. Gov. Carroll Gartin, Ross Barnett, Heber Ladner, Hugh White, Paul Johnson, William Winters and Senator William Burgin.

It is a known fact that Gov. Coleman will move back to Ackerman, run and be elected as Representative from Choctaw. He then intends running for the Speaker of the House. It would be most interesting, come the next session of the Legislature, should Sillers be elected Governor, and Coleman speaker of the house. Sillers would then find out that he held a more powerful position as Speaker than as Governor, in so far as getting his measures passed.
