...Reason No. 3 was that tens of thousands of McCarthy-style Republicans, licking their wounds after Ikeman Kohler beat the right-wingers in the recent, seven-man Republican primary (TIME, Aug. 12), simply chose not to vote. In Outagamie County, Joe McCarthy's county, Proxmire got 35% of the vote in 1954, 25% in 1956, almost 50% last week.
