Gubernatorial Contest Sees Large Lead For Persons
In Alabama race loyalists hold a slim margin as primary results trickle in. Reports indicate factional battles over party control within the state committee and potential shifts in leadership post primary. As vote counts come in from several districts, early figures show near parity between camps with changes possible in the next boxes. The contest centers on the nine district senators and key party machinery loyalists, with implications for the 1948 Truman-Barkley alignment and Alabama’s electoral votes.

It cites daily spending around 47 million and a monthly shortfall near 1.348 billion dollars, projecting red ink into May and June and an eventual deficit of over 5 billion by mid-1951. It notes administrative estimates may understate the final gap.
