Mississippi Runoff Vote Seen for Governor Cleansed with Blue Sky
In Jackson Mississippi polls opened at seven from Tupelo to Biloxi with heavy turnout expected in the Democratic runoff to choose a new governor between Attorney General J. P. Coleman and Paul Johnson. Early reports show high voter interest and more than 400000 votes anticipated. Coleman led in the first primary by about 18000 but both candidates vow to maintain racial segregation in public schools. Johnson, a Hattiesburg attorney, and Coleman are young, with Coleman 41 and Johnson 39. Republican opposition is negligible and Mississippi may elect its youngest governor in 25 years.
