Negro Vote Shift in Mississippi Primaries Shapes Power
In Mississippi, Sen. James O. Eastland and four Democratic congressmen won reelection bids, limiting Negro political gains. Negro registration neared 20 percent of 675,000, but a Negro-backed ticket captured about 12 percent. Eastland led 4-1 in statewide races. Abernethy Whitten Williams and Colmer won handily. The 4th District race saw Clinton Collier threaten a runoff, while Republicans logged their first primary contest. No major incidents reported as turnout favored both races.
