Talk:Ridgley C. Powers

Governor resignation
Ok, here's my logic for changing the governor that resigns in 1871 (which led to Powers taking office) from Adelbert Ames to James L. Alcorn. You can see that Ames' page has him in the Senate from 1870 to 1874. Alcorn's page says that HE resigned in 1871 to become a Senator. Also, the List of Governors of Mississippi shows Alcorn, nor Ames, prior to Powers. Now, this isn't remotely close to my field of study, so unless someone says otherwise, I say that Alcorn resigned. --Ricky81682 (talk) 09:50, Dec 5, 2004 (UTC)

You are correct the Governor that resigned in 1871 was Alcorn. --User:Jpcarver
