Three blacks won statewide elections for the first time, J including two appeals court judges, Richard Erwin of North Carolina, and Harry A. Cole of Maryland, who had earlier been appointed to the bench. The third new official is Vel~R. Phillips, winner of the Secretary of State's office in Wisconsin, the first time a black ever won a state election there. Re-elected were Richard Austin, Michigan secretary of state, Henry Parker, Connecticut treasurer and Wilson Riles, California superintendent of public instruction. Eddie N. Williams, president of the Joint Center, noted t the election defeats of Sen. Edward Rrooke^R-Mass.. Lt^ J Gov. Mervyn Dymally, D-Calif. and Yvonne Braithwaite '< Burke, the former representative who sought the attorney general's office in California. 7 Williams said the losses "represent a loss of talented,J influential leadership." ' "If there is one conclusion to be drawn from the election results," said Williams; ''it is that the level of black 1 political participation must be increased in order to protect the political interests of the black community." ^ "The election results, including the trend towards ( conservatism , provides additional justification for black political and civil rights leaders to develop a national ' voter crusade," Williams added.
