Dissatisfaction spreads among officers over presidential favoritism in promotion. Capt. Charles May, praised for bravery and command of a dragoon squadron under Gen. Taylor, is passed over for higher command. Generals Taylor Worth and Twiggs endorsed May, but Polk did not appoint him and instead gave the post to a partisan Kentucky ally.
