Wallace, the South's most controversial leader since Huey Long of Louisiana, tries in Alabama's Democratic primary tomorrow to take a big stride toward becoming the country's first real shadow governor.

This 1966 primary is unique also for the fact that big-framed, red--haired Alabama Attorney General Richmond Flowers--one of the nine contenders against Lurleen--is making the South's first really fervent, unconcealed bid for the greatly enlarged African American vote.
