Negroes Fail In Mississippi Primary Vote
In Mississippi Sen. Eastland and four Democratic congressmen won re elections, dimming expectations for a Negro balance of power.

Runoff possibility loomed in the 4th District where Clinton Collier, a Negro on the Freedom Democratic ticket, drew votes threatening a runoff. Republicans fared poorly in the 4th District under federal observers reporting no major incidents.
