Bitter Sheriff Race Entered By Government
The federal government filed a suit in federal court seeking to declare Wilson Baker the winner over segregationist Jim Clark in Alabama's Dallas County sheriff race. Six boxes of predominantly Negro votes tossed out by the Democratic committee favored Baker, who had a clear path to victory if counted. Clark alleged three boxes were unguarded before tallying due to Negro officials stepping away. The committee cited officials leaving posts to eat. The case before U S District Judge Daniel H. Thomas in Mobile hinges on the vote count and election legality.
