Governor George C. 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. To product that result--to get around his state's ban on two straight terms--demands the nomination and election of his slender, 39-year-old wife, Lurleen. All signs presently point to that outcome. 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.
