Reader’s notes
p. 114. 11 columns: stub plus Number/Percent pairs for All R, RC, RM, RD and UD cases. The footnote line at the foot of the crop is clipped by the bottom edge — only the upper half of the glyphs is visible, but the text reads "See Glossary of terms for definitions." with reasonable certainty; the marker is the raised 1 keyed to the caption. The row "After:" is a section line carrying a label and no values. The two-line label "After Regional Director's decision and direction of election" has been joined into one row, with its figures printed on the second line. All printed arithmetic checks out: each section's components sum to its total, the three section totals sum to "Total, all" in every column, and All R equals RC + RM + RD (UD is a separate series). Apostrophes in "Regional Director's" are printed as typographic right single quotes; transcribed as plain apostrophes.
