HESSER Miami Newi Politics Writer Dade Countians voted at a brisk pace in today's primary election, drawn to the polls by one of the most bitterly-coatest-ed campaigns for governor in Florida history. A total of 225,000, or more, may vote by the time the polls close at 7 p.m.

During the campaign for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. Gov. Haydon Burns, seeking reelection, has been assailed almost daily by two of his Democratic opponents, Robert King High and Scott Kelly. A fourth Democrat in the race is Sam Foor of Tallahassee, publisher of a political newsletter. Burns, who was high man in the 1964 first primary and winner of a subsequent runoff, predicted there will be another runoff after today's primary.

"I do not forecast a first primary victory," Burns said from Jacksonville, where he went to vote. "But I do predict a tremendously wide margin over either of the other candidates." A second primary would be May 24. Both High and Kelly were confident of winning a place in the runoff. In the 1964 first primary. Burns received 312,453 votes to 207,280 for High and 205,078 for Kelly.

Burns went on to defeat High by a vote of 648,093 to 465,547 in the runoff. There are other important contests on today's ballot which have sparked voter interest. These include the GOP race for governor between Claude Kirk and Richard Muldrew. Three Democratic cabinet members Comptroller Fred Dickinson, State Treasurer Broward Williams and Attorney Gen. Earl Faircloth face opposition from within their party.

There will be Democratic and Republican primaries for Congress in the new North Dade-Broward 10th District.

Almost 20 per cent of the votes are here.

Dade can elect governors, senators and Cabinet members. But the truth is that Dade probably never again is going to have the great in fluence it did have in the election of 1876. Then it helped to elect a President.

The mayor and his wife Faith 'cast their ballots shortly after the polls opened today at the old Silver Bluff Fire Station in his home precinct.

It was quite obvious all along, at least to me, who would win yesterday's primary in Florida's race for governor. The only surprise, to me, is that the final count had the divergence it did. Even with three relatively strong candidates, the experienced political observer knows how to sense where the action really is it's like a sixth sense. And I sensed this early in the campaign of the man who got the most votes yesterday. There have been dissenting opinions, some of them expressed strongly, even rude-" ly, since I first endorsed yesterday's winner, early in his campaign.

Big Issue But that's perfectly all right. Each man in a Democracy has a right to an opinion different from- mine, no matter how stupid it obviously is. "What about the issue of big counties vs. small counties?" people kept asking me. What many people insistently fail to realize is that the big picture in Florida has matured to the point where the size of the county is no more important, and sometimes not as important, than the number of people who live in that county, surrounding counties, or nearby.

In this day and age of fast and thorough communication, people of widely dissimilar background may live in counties right next toeach other and still have surprisingly divergent viewpoints. If nothing else, the result of yesterday's primary should bring that hardnosed fact home once and for all to even the most aware candidate. Whasat? But was it on the basis of such cold and measurable facts alone that the voters of Florida yesterday rendered the decision they did, at this time? I prefer to think And it wasn't the Big Business issue, not alone. A Big Business, after all, is just a Small Business that has grown larger. Nor was it education, in itself.

It quickly shaped up into a typical Dade election precincts opening late, machines out of order, levers jammed, long lines and confused election workers. Martin Braterman, county supervisor of elections, kept nine crews working full time. They were directed by radio to polling places where some of the machines broke down. Some voters complained that people were taking far too long in the booths, trying to cope with the lengthy ballot.

Others protested they were hustled out of the booth before they had finished voting. "Most of the complaints are the usual trouble with people rather than machines," said Braterman. "They get into the wrong line, or have been purged from the rolls or they have moved."

Burns said jokingly, "I've made up my mind," as he took his IBM card and prepared to go into the voting booth. The governor predicted that he would lead the field by a "wide margin" and defeat either Robert King High or Scott Kelly if there is a runoff.

Burni found himself in the same plight of many a less famous voter when the clerk, in charge, Mrs. Zada M. Marsh, asked him: "Do you have your registration card with you?"

3 By FRANK MURRAY i Reporter of The Miami New FORT LAUDERDALE Bob High's campaign took a good hop today quite a few of them. Buzzing around Broward and Dade Counties from one precinct to another, High got in as many last minute plugs for himself as the law allows. At Francis Tucker Elementary School, classes for about 700 childern were let out suddenly when the mayor's helicopter landed in the play yard. The swarm of High well-wishers was the same at a Hialeah auto inspection station, Sunset Elementary School and the Fort Lauderdale Armory. At Sunset, High was met by three of his six children who attend that school.

High was piloted by Ellen Gilmour, who owns her own helicopter and volunteered it to the mayor.
