Bailey Resigns From Senate After Dramatic Plea

Vice President Sherman and dozens of Democrats urged Colquitt to refuse the resignation as Bailey capitulated under intense lobbying from corporate interests. Bailey later withdrew his resignation, pledging to serve to the limit of his strength while upholding Democratic principles.

Senators Give Reasons for Voting Against Bailey Resign

Senator Peeler also offered a reason tied to a campaign pledge not to vote on matters about Senator Boley and related issues.
