Primary Winners Guarded Against Last Minute Foe
Alabama enforces Kirby law for the first time requiring independent candidates to qualify before the Democratic primary. The rule blocks late Independent bids from an defeated nominee while not affecting established party candidates who may qualify 60 to 30 days before the general election. Officials in Montgomery said the measure curbs late entry while preserving party processes. W. A. Denson and W. Glazaner of Birmingham, Harry Frahn of Sheffield, and W. C. Irby of Jacksonville filed petitions with 200 signatures for congressional and senatorial races in the Ninth District, Eighth District, and U.S. Senate respectively.
