Alabama Negro candidates win key posts in hissed bid
In Alabama the May 3 Democratic primaries produced three Negro nominees for local offices who appeared assured of election due to lack of Republican opposition. Macon County saw Amerson win sheriff, Locklair tax collector, and Webb revenue board. Selma and Dallas County also backed Negro nominees amid overall Republican scrutiny and federal observers. Gov. Wallace's continuing appeal and Agnes Baggett's treasurer nomination despite a late-primacy deficit marked the broader political shift.
