Bailey’s reported endorsement of the port commis sion’s report is now likely to influ ence Governor Morrison to leave the recommended program to Mr. Bailey to prosecute in the event he is elect ed governor. Bailey’s approval of the commis sion’s report was looked on in un friendly circles as another shining example of the candidate’s weakness for switching in his haste to grab opportunities. Not many months ago, in an ad dress at Wilson, Mr. Bailey treated the port, development movement as a huge joke, poking fun and ridicule at it unceremoniously. At that time, his public utterance recorded him as unyieldingly hostile to the whole idea. For that reason, champions of the port commission’s recommendations, submitted to Governor Morrison and the counsel of state last week, arc not willing to abandon the fight for a special session and leave the leader ship to the new convert.
