===The 1967 campaign===
===The 1967 campaign===
In 1967, Phillips mounted his second unsuccessful race for governor, this time against [[U.S. Representative]] [[John Bell Williams]] (1918–1983) of Mississippi's 3rd congressional district, who had supported Goldwater in 1964 and was stripped in 1965 of House seniority for doing so. Sensing that he could not run to the "right" of Williams, as he had tried to do with Johnson in 1963, Phillips shed his former segregationiost image and adopted a more moderate stance similar to that employed unsuccessfully by Williams' Democratic runoff rival, state Treasurer and subsequent Governor William Forrest Winter (born 1923).
