Bilbo Clings To Majority In Mississippi Primary
Senator Theodore G. Bilbo clung to a slim majority in a stormy Mississippi primary for a third term as unofficial returns from 1382 of 1701 precincts showed Bilbo leading with 88 299 votes. Opponents included Ross Collings Wills Harper and Kelson T. Levings. A runoff would be required if no majority, with Tamio Ellis second. The race saw thousands of black voters attempting to qualify, aided by court rulings and a pledge by the attorney general to protect rights, though many were kept from voting by poll tax and party rules. Rankin won renomination in Mississippi, while Oklahoma and other races produced runoffs and nominations in Governor and Congress contests.
