A ship named Alexandra is visible behind them. After the death Senator James B. Allen in June 1978, Governor George Wallace appointed his widow, Maryon, to fill the vacant seat until a special election could be held in November. The winner of that election would serve out the remaining two years of James Allen's original term; Maryon ran for the seat but lost to fellow Democrat Donald Stewart, who ultimately defeated his Republican opponent to win the seat. |
