The article presents information on socio-political conditions. Until the last general election state of Alabama had been an island of liberalism between the Scylla of Mississippi and the Charybdis of a Georgia which had relapsed into Talmadgism. But on November 5, 1946 Alabama voted to adopt the Boswell amendment to its constitution, an amendment which will set up the most highly restrictive voting qualifications in force in any state in the Union. The leaders of organized labor and many newspapers opposed the amendment, but the rank and file of labor in the large industrial districts failed to go to the polls.
