Both t he coal operators and the coal county officials seem to know their strength these days and are enjoying the recognition they have found as a major force in Kentucky politics.
There is a strong likelihood . that this first real test of strength for coal could make a difference in future political races and in legislative action during the next decade, at least.

Frankfort Watchline Politics is not a very pretty
game sometimes. Pike County Judge Wayne
Rutherford's strength came to light last week when a Courier-Journal story exposed some fund raising irregularities in the candidate's campaign finance report.
The newspaper pointed out several instances of supposed donors who had been given tickets by their coal operator bosses, who had already given Ihe legal maximum.
Within hours after the story appeared, the other candidates for lieutenant Kuvornor were on him like a pack of wild dogs going in for the kill.
Two candidates put out statements condemning Ruther-ford and one called for his withdrawal. Another suggested privately that more violations could be found, and yet another called to wonder how badly Rutherford had been hit.
None of this is surprising, of course, except it is just another indicator of Rutherford's rise from relative obscurity to a viable candidate in a few short
Rutherford's supporters seem relatively unconcerned about the publicity, taking the old atti tude: "1 don't care what £pu say about me. just spell my name right."
It is one of those quirks of (politics that in most cases, the only bad publicity is no publicity at all.
The big question, always answerable on election day. is where Rutherford is drawing his votes from. if. indeed, he has moved up among tl)e frontmnners.
Is he picking up votes from what might gone to Secretary of State Thelma Stovall. wfoo is reputed to have a rock-solid core of votes no one can touch?
Or i« he extracting votes
from candidates like State sen. Bill Sullivan, who has more strong Eastern Kentucky support, or is he getting to the many as yet uncommitted voters with his powerful media campaign?
Win or lose, the Rutherford campaign and its effect on this year'sdemocratic primary is going to be the subject of lengthy analysis for many
"One of these mornings. I'm going to get up and open the refrigerator and George Her man Kendall will be in there with his hand out," George Atkins remarked the other day.
He was only about half joking. Atkins, the young mayor of HopkinsviUe who is running Ci.-i • tM&tor with tiw apparent blessings of Gov. Julian Carroll, can hardly make a public appearance without finding Kendall working the same crowd.
Kendall, a Lexington real estate agent, has a habit of irking a lot of politicians by horning in on rallies wherever they might be. He's been running since the senate primary of last year, at least.
Kendall is. if anything, fairly well known, but Atkins takes a somewhat philosophical view: "I think that will help me in the long run," he said, looking over his shoulder.

Courting the coal vole seems lo have become one of the major preoccupations of the current carrtpgigQs. , .
At the recent meeting of the Coal Counties Coalition, nearly every major candidate was there or had a represent ative there to say a few words in their own behalf.
