Negro Ballot Issue Flames Up in Mississippi Primary Fight
In Jackson Mississippi on June 24 the Negro ballot issue dominates ahead of the Democratic primary for U S senator and four representatives. An affidavit from Etoy Fletcher reports flogging and threats after attempting to register in Rankin county. A survey shows few Negroes registered across many counties. Leaders like T B Wilson and Theo Bilbo urge action to deter Negro votes. Rankin joins Bilbo urging law abiding Negroes to abstain from primaries. Nelson T Levings seeks further developments.
