WAsHtYeToN, July 5.--W. j. Campbell,
chairman of the Republican national com.
mittee, arrived here this afternoon and
went to the White House about 80,
where he was in consultation until nearly |
6 o'clock with the President, Secretary |
Rusk, Secretary Elkins, Commissioner |
Carter and ex-senator Spooner OF Wlscon- |
sin. At the conclusion of the conference |
Chairman Campbell gave ont the follow.
ing statement for publication, saying that
he had nothing further TO say with regard
to the question ut issue. This is the state
ment referred to-
when | was elected chairman Of the
national committee it was with the dis
tinct understanding that my business
engagements, then pending, might render
II impossible for me to act i'll that capacity.
This contingency was fully understood by
the committee and others directly in
terested. Since the adjournment of the
committee l have been unable to ADJUST
my affairs, so as TO render IT practicable
for me to act as chairman, and therefore,
as l reserved the right to do, announce
that will not act,
"under the authority vested in me by
the national committee will probably
announce the executive committee within
the next few days, and that committee
will meet at an early date. At that meet
ing / will formally tender, my resignation
and my successor will be then elected. My
successor will be chosen by the executive
committee, as authorized by resolution
adopted by the national committee.
CONDENSATION AMONG REPUBLICANS.
The refusal OF Mr.. Campbell to under
lake the job of re-electirg President lIar-
rison has created good deal of consterna-
ton among the Republicans here. 1t is
= i Ill
thrown up the craftsmanship III the ma
tional committee because his wife is an in
valid, but the true reason seems to be that
"Phif Armour of the dressed beef COM
bine put his foot down when Mr.. Camp
bell got back to Chicago and told him that
he would not ALLOW him to manage the
Republican campaign. Armour Goes not
care to have the dressed beef combine
made an issue in the coming campaign
Campbell draws $4,000 a year from the
trust as its attorney, and Armour was in 8
position to demand that his hired man lay
aside ambition and sacrifice Harrison, tht
i, party Illinois and everything else iii lac
but the frozen beef combine.
1t is suggested also as another reason
which impelled Mr.. Campbell to reject tn,
craftsmanship that Mr. Campbell has beef
meditating upon the page of inside history
made public by ex-senator farwell of Hi
nois, the other day. Campbell was Far
wells candidate for the position of collec
tor of the port of Chicago Harrison
.urned him down. Farwell who bus sine
been an unreconstructed rebel against tn
administration, wrote to a newspaper her
few days ago and sarcasiically inquire,
whether the Campbell that had bcel
chosen to manage lIarrison's campaign
was the same Campbell that was. a fey
years ago, rejected by the President a
unfit to hold public office because lie was
common lobbyist"
