Montgomery, Ala., April 1.--At a state-wide primary in Alabama today the democratic voters selected candidates for congress and named delegates to the state convention which is to assemble two weeks hence to nominate candidates for the state offices to be filled at the coming elections. In the primaries the voters also were given an opportunity to express their preference for the presidential nomination, but the delegates to the Baltimore gathering will be selected by the state convention.
As Alabama is solidly for Congressman Oscar W. Underwood for the Presidential nomination, the interest in the presidential contest is confined largely to the efforts of the Harmon, Wilson and Clark managers to secure the selection of delegates who may favor their candidate for second choice.
