...Peace and Tranquility." This summer Johnson's well-worn hat was again in the ring for Governor. Opposing him were Charles Sullivan, 38, Clarksdale attorney and 1960 presidential candidate of Texas' Constitution Party, and ex-Governor James Plemon Coleman, 49, a veteran politician who has won every race he ever entered, from district attorney up. All three are segregationists-Johnson the most vociferous, Coleman the least. Johnson and Sullivan advocated opposing the Kennedy Administration and all its works. Coleman, while decrying the spread of federal power, talked soothingly of bringing "peace and tranquilly." From the start, Coleman...
...Parker, Negro rape suspect, heel-first from the county jail at Poplarville and shot him to death (TIME, May 4). Last week the agents abruptly closed their books on the case, locked up their temporary Poplarville field office. On their way out of Mississippi they called on Governor James Plemon Coleman at Jackson, left behind a dossier identifying the men who lynched Parker and dumped his corpse into Pearl River...

Hays tried to blunt the attack with another Southern Governor's endorsement, got Mississippi's James Plemon Coleman, an old friend, to come to his rescue. "The South needs you in her great struggle," announced Coleman bravely. Nevertheless, Hays lost by 1,200 votes out of 60,000. Last week Brooks Hays revealed how precarious has become the Southern moderate position. Said he of Coleman, already under attack at home: "I hope the people of Mississippi won't hold him responsible for my views...
...long foray into Yankee territory to make friends and whoop up "Mississippi Recognition Month," that state's personable Democratic Governor James Plemon Coleman (TIME, March 4. 1957) stopped off in Manhattan to honor nine Mississippians who have made good north of the Mason-Dixon Line. Among the former Magnolia Staters appointed honorary colonels and aides-de-camp to Coleman's staff: the New York Times's Managing Editor Turner Catledge, Musicomedy Director (Jamaica) and Composer Lehman Engel, and the littlest colonel, ten-year-old Eddie Hodges, carrot-topped standout in the new Broadway hit musical The Music...
