Reader’s notes
p. 241. Nine columns: stub plus four Number/Percent-by-type pairs (Total, By employer, By union, By both parties). The stub column has no printed heading, so cell 0 of both heading levels is empty. Many decimal points in the percent columns did not print or are very faint in this scan, so several cells appear as e.g. \"37 1\", \"60 4\", \"100 0\", \"38 1\", \"7 7\", \"61 8\", \"57 1\", \"4 3\". They are transcribed as decimals (37.1, 60.4, 100.0, 38.1, 7.7, 61.8, 57.1, 4.3) because the spacing matches the surrounding one-decimal percentages and the values are internally consistent (e.g. 7/39 = 17.9, 29/39 = 74.4, 3/39 = 7.7); no digits are in doubt, only the punctuation. \"Board-directed elections\", Percent by type under \"By both parties\": printed as a dash rule, recorded as an empty cell. The caption carries footnote marker 1 and the \"By both parties\" heading carries marker 2. Only footnote 1 is visible at the very bottom of the crop, and its last line is clipped (text read as \"See Glossary for definitions of terms\"); footnote 2's text falls below the crop and is not transcribed. All printed column sums are internally consistent (case rows and election rows each total 1,138 / 422 / 687 / 29).
