"The 1965 elections have shown the political effectiveness of the growing liberal movement in this country and of the in creasingly sophisticated and in formed minority vote," today declared Congressman John Conyers, Jr. (Dem-Michigan) in a speech prepared for delivery at the University of California at Berkeley. "A vital necessity for the increase of the political power of the liberal movement in America is the expansion of political activity by the young people who have worked so strenuously for equality of op portunity and equal dignity for all Americans. It is time for demonstrations to be backed up by grass-roots political ac tion." "The election of liberal Re publicans in New York City and Louisville, Kentucky shows that both the liberal and the Negro American voter will sup port the candidates with strong civil rights and liberal records regardless of party affiliations," Conyers told the group as sembled at Boalt Law School at 12 noon. Expressing an analys is similar to that recently giv en by Senator Robert F. Ken nedy (Dem-New York), Conyers said that "one of the reasons the Democrats lost the New York mayoralty race was that they took the Negro and Puer to Rican votes for granted." Conyers cited the close ma yoralty race in Cleveland, Ohio in which Carl Stokes, a Negro state legislator and leader of the local chapter of Americans for Democratic Action, is now within 1900 votes of winning and the recount may yet show that he was elected.
