Wednesday's count in the'don
democratic primary,, tantamount of
to election, gave Timmerman one
178,934 votes against 112,795 for'the
Bates. The state total of 291,779 can
votes of a possible 700,079 was'fovi
declared here today to be a dis-jsan
tinet indication of the disinterest tiro
of the public in the type of snic

Voting was much lower all over Car

much quieter campaign was "if
