Mrs Wallace Easy Winner In Alabama Nomination
Mrs. George Wallace easily won the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in Alabama, beating nine male contenders.

In Florida, Scott Kelly challenged Gov Burns for the Democratic governor nomination, with Miami Mayor Robert King High in third as returns lag. Sparkman won renomination in the Alabama Senate race, avoiding a runoff. Oklahoma primary results hint at a three way duel for the No 2 spot in the Democratic runoff on May 24.
