Reynolds and Bailey clash over revenue post
A rift opened in North Carolina politics as Senator Josiah W. Bailey and Senator Robert R. Reynolds failed to back the same candidate for assistant United States commissioner of revenue.

The dispute centers on who would fill the $8,000 a year position, with Reynolds signaling a break from Bailey and North Carolina’s party leadership.
