  1. 1 The States are grouped according to the method used by the Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce.

686 of 686 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.

Reader’s notes

p. 247. 17 columns: stub plus 16 numeric columns. The stub heading "Division and State" carries a superscript 1, but the text of footnote 1 is not printed on this crop (the table continues on the following page), so `footnotes` is empty. Crop coverage: the body ends at the "West North Central" subtotal; the remaining divisions (South Atlantic onward), the grand total, and the footnote text are cut off below the crop. The four division rows (New England, Middle Atlantic, East North Central, West North Central) are indented subtotal rows set off by rules; they are transcribed as ordinary rows. Row label "South Dakota" is rendered in the scan as "South D0akota" — a stray mark/speck between the D and the a, not typeset text; transcribed as "South Dakota". Scattered speckles in the scan sit next to a few digits and were read as noise, not characters: Iowa "Total" won by unions (3), Kansas "AFL-CIO unions" won by unions (1), North Dakota "Teamsters" valid votes (0), Nebraska "Eligible employees in units choosing representation" (0). Arithmetic cross-checks all pass, which supports the column assignments: in every row AFL-CIO + Teamsters + other national + other local equals the adjacent "Total" (both for elections won and for valid union votes); total elections = elections won + elections with no representative; valid union votes + no-union votes = total valid votes cast; and each division subtotal equals the sum of its member states in every column. No printed value appears misprinted.

p. 248. The crop is a continuation page: it begins mid-table with the South Atlantic division's states (earlier divisions are on the preceding page) and is cut off at the bottom after "Utah" — the Mountain division subtotal and the remaining divisions/states are not on this image. The stub heading carries footnote marker 1 ("Division and State^1"), but no footnote text is printed within the crop, so `footnotes` is empty. Scan/typography notes: the row label for Mississippi is degraded in the scan (the middle letters read like "Misaissippi"); it is transcribed as "Mississippi". The Oklahoma "Total valid votes cast" cell has a stray tick mark before the digits ('998); read as 998, not a footnote marker. Several row labels end with a sparse mix of leader dots and dashes (e.g. Arkansas, Louisiana, Montana); these are leader artifacts and were dropped. Faint specks appear beside a few zeros (North Carolina "Other local unions" in the valid-votes block, Utah "Teamsters" and "Total" in the won-elections block) — all read as 0. Arithmetic check: all three division subtotals (South Atlantic, East South Central, West South Central) reconcile exactly with their member states in every one of the 16 numeric columns, which supports the column alignment.

p. 249. The crop continues a table from the preceding page: the first body row (Nevada) is the last State of the Mountain division, whose subtotal row follows it, so the earlier Mountain States are not on this image. Column headings are printed on this crop and are transcribed. The footnote line is clipped by the bottom edge of the crop — the glyphs are partly cut off vertically but the wording is legible and complete as a sentence; if further footnote lines were printed below it, they are outside the crop. Every subtotal and the grand total cross-check exactly against the printed component rows and across the vote columns (e.g. Pacific = Washington+Oregon+California+Alaska+Hawaii+Guam in all 16 value columns; union votes + no-union votes = total valid votes cast in every row). No misprints detected. Row labels are followed by long leader-dot runs (some with gaps, e.g. "California . .... ."); the dots are dropped. The stub heading carries footnote marker 1.
