Page 12 Fond du Lac (Wisconsin) Commonwealth Reporter, Wednesday, May 26, 1971' Kentucky Election Ford Surprising Winner in Gubernatorial Primary LOUISVILLE, Ky. (A.P) Lt. Gov. Wendell Ford has achieved a surprisingly decisive victory over former Gov. Bert combs in Kentucky's Democratic primary for nor and will face Rom Emberton in November.

"The party's going to get gether and we're going to win the Ford, a 46- year-old Western Kentucky insurance man, said after Combs conceded Tuesday. But Combs, a 59-year-old former judge, shook his head from side to side when asked what he planned to do about supporting Ford, his one-time chief administrative assistant. "It's premature to say anything now," he said. This is the end of the road for me politically." He said he would return to law practice. Tax Issue Raised With 1,760 of 3,076 precincts counted unofficially, Ford had 137,630 votes to 103,778 for Combs.

Combs said in his concession remarks that the tax issue, raised in the final weeks, was the major cause of his defeat. Ford had charged Combs planned to raise taxes to finance his educational platform. Combs had branded this a falsehood and spent much time answering it. Ford told reporters he, too, thought the tax issue was decisive, adding the other big issue was "which Democrat can beat the Republicans in the fall." The state administration is in the hands of the GOP for the first time in more than 20 years. Emberton, 39, had only token opposition and the wholehearted support of Gov.

His running mate is James Host, 32, a former parks commissioner. In the Democratic race for the lieutenant governor nomination, Combs' running mate, state House Speaker Julian Carroll, had a lead over Atty.

Gen. John Breckinridge, his nearest rival, with state Sen. Henry Beach trailing far Breckinridge was the favorite, running independently. Ford had no slate. The tax issue seemingly is rooted in the sales tax.

Combs ran on his record as governor from 1959 to 1963, claiming he lifted Kentucky out of an educational and economic morass. In the process he pushed through a 3-cent sales tax. Nunn got the legislature to raise it to 5 cents in 1967. Combs resigned from the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to run this year.
