Negro Vote In The
State Is Below
The $4,000 Mark

The voting strength of Negroes
in Mississippi, a controversial IS
sue in gubernatorial election years
mas been officially documented.
A survey by Attorney General
J. P. Coleman shows the number
Of qualified Negro voters at this
time to be far short of the 10000
to $4,000 estimates made in cleo
ton years, writes Kenneth Toler
IN the Memphis Commercial-Ap-
peal.
Attorney General Coleman's
county by county compilation dis
closes 22,104 Negroes qualified to
Vote at this time. That compares
with the total vote of $4,000 in
the 1851 runoff primary for the
governorship.
The states total voting strength
is estimated at $4,000 although
the highest to participate in an
election has been 100000. A col
lege survey estimates there is a
potential voting total in excess of
100000.
The Attorney Generals survey
discloses, however, that in some
counties the Negro vote is suf-
ficient to hold the balance of power
in the holly contested and closely
decided fractional races. That is
on the assumption that they will
vote in "bloc."
Should "bloc" voting develop,
however, experience has found that
is two-way street.
Contrary to what is believed to
be the case, the largest ratio of
qualified Negro voters to the coun-
tvs total is not in the delta. 1t
is in jefferson Davis County in
south Mississippi.
Attorney General Coleman's
compilation shows there are 1921
qualified voters in jefferson Davis
County compared to the total vote
Of 3,472 in the 1851 governors
race run-off. That's more than
one-third of the vote in that
