The Party supported Truman. I think the Party remained behind the national Party for quite some time.

Well they voted for Goldwater in 64 and Wallace in 68, so the 1948 result jumped out as odd to me.

But Kennedy also had machine support in Georgia in 1960, where there actually was a primary challenge by an unpledged slate just as in Alabama, but fell flat after Governor Vandiver (a Conservative) personally headed the Kennedy slate IIRC.
