The 2-to-l sentiments expressed by the votes tabulated from non-property-owners appeared certain to hold when the missing precincts were included in the final totals.

Similar legislation approved in 1960 cleared the way for the four televised debates between Vice President Richard M. Nixon and the late President John F. Kennedy. Goldwjter has said he wanted to debate Johnson. But even his national chairman, Dean Burch, said he did not believe the President would let himself get "suckered" into such a Roncalio, 47.

Harrison ran unopposed. And Sen. Gale McGee, whom Wold and Sailors hope to challenge in November, faced only token opposition. Wayne Kinney of Laramie, who tried unsuccessfully to withdraw his name after Atty. Gen.

John Ra-per ruled he had forfeited his right to run as a Democrat because he claimed independent status, was McGee's only opponent. Returns from 360 of the 621 precincts gave Wold 11,381 votes to 10,529 for Sailors. Roncalio had 9,870 to 3,049 for Armstrong in 324 precincts and McGee led Kinney, 17,606 to 2,203, in 368 precincts.

Natrona County Republicans had a local candidate to stimulate interest in the 1962 primary, also, when Charles Crowell, Casper attorney, sought the GOP gubernatorial nomination, but lost out to the present governor Clifford Hansen. Puzzling to political prog-nosticators at midnight last night was why more than 8,000 Republicans turned out to vote in the 1962 primary, when it was apparent that they might muster a total of no more than 6,000 votes in the 1964 primary.
