The headline, the opening and the heading over the county lists are outside the clipped region; from the Library's page text (OCR, checked only for sense): "Deluge of qualifying papers filed on final day of announcement … candidates to be voted on at the State Wide primary August 13, swamped the office of Secretary of State John Purifoy yesterday …"; the lists run through the state offices, Congress and the state Senate by district, then "Representatives." by county, Autauga to Winston, with Chambers between Calhoun and Cherokee.
