Convertible" means a provision

the lowest OF any form, due to the
fact that the probability OF death

occasional cases where persons de-

The run that Sheriff. made in the
Council primaries was equally as
surprising as that made by Council
man Edward J Jeffries, Jr, for
Mayor.
While Jeffries was generally pre-
iicted by most politicians to be the
lumber one nominee in the pri-
hary election, no one expected that
Jeffries would win by such a land
slide.
William Sherrills strong race also
upset the forecasts Of many Negro
Politicians. Many OF the Negro poll
tiean wlseacres predicted that the
maximum votes cast for Sheriff.
would be $4,000 while some Of the
dopesters put the figure under
$500.
The Primary returns upset all of
these predictions. showing that
Sheriff. missed being nominated by
only l400 votes-polling a total Of
over $4,000 This is the largest vote
polled by Negro in a council Pri-
nary election.
II the prophesies OF the afore-
mentioned Negro politicians went
ssray, their analyses upon which
they based their forecasts were also
faulty,
Four factors figured in the anal
sses Of most Of these politicians:
First they said that Sheriff. was
not well enough known. Secondly
that the Negro voters lad a de-
featist complex in regard to a Ne
gro being elected to the Council
and hence would not support such
an Undertaking. Thirdly, they said
that the Negro political leaders
who were even more practical than
the rank and file voters would give
Yonly lukewarm support TO Sher-
rll's lack Of funds made their pre-
elections Of a poor showing a fore
gone conclusion.
But it seems that Sheriff. was
better known than what most Of
the Negro political dopesters fig
ured in their calculations. They
overlooked the fact that for several
years Sheriff. was First Vice Prss-
ident of the U. N. l. A, which had
membership in the Detroit area
alone OF seven thousand members.
That Sheriff. is one Of the Oldest
campaigners in Detroit, also. did
not figure in their prediction.
