Newspaper Page TextCIV. In Th- Day's News By FRANK JENKINS At the hour this is written, the votes in all but nine of Wis consin's 3445 precincts have been counted. The vote stands: Senator Kennedy, 475,901; Senator Hum phrey 370,411. That is on the Democratic side of the Wisconsin primary election voting. On the Republican side. Vice-President Nixon came up with a total of 340,218. With the count of voles prac tically complete, Senator Kennedy tavs: I am pleased to win.

He comes of rea sonably conservative ancestry, but his campaign in Wisconsin bylsaid in a speech that "South Afri no means stressed conservative'ea's present racial policy is the leanings. Besides, Ihe Wisconsin primary results were clouded by the reli gious issue, which assumed in creasing importance as the cam paign progressed. The Kennedy victory, which was decisive, indi cates that the time is past when a Catholic can no longer aspire! to Ihe Presidency. The religious issue overshad owed whatever liberalism vs con servatism issue might have been present. The result seems at least to indicate a growth of TOL ERANCE in American thinking. At any rate, the Wisconsin pri mary docs put Senator Kennedy: out as Ihe front runner in the race for the Democratic nomina tion for President. From now until the convention In Lns Angeles, he is the man for all the other Democratic can didates to beat.

This gave Kennedy more than 56 per cent of thc Democratic vole and victories in six of the 10 con gressional districts. Associates said Nixon s showing has solidified his determination not to campaign in any primaries. Nixon was reported to have told Gov. John E.
