DEMOCRATS HOPE TO
BREAK STRONGHOLD
OF REPUBLICANS

Topeka, Kans. Sept, 11-Demo-
Gratis of Kansas are going into the fall
campaign with hopes more firmly
founded. they say, than at any time in
the past SIX years. They are putting
particular stress on the congressional
campaigns in all the eight Kansas dis
tricts in the anticipation that the Kan
sas representatives in the lower house
of Congress next year no longer will
be solid Republican delegation.
There is no election of U. S. sena-
tor in Kansas this year. Both senat-
ors-Charles Curtis and Arthur Cap
per-however. also are Republicans.
The last Democratic governor in Kan
sas was George H. Hodges, 1875.
In seven of the eight Kansas Con-
gressional districts. the Republican
nominees are the incumbents. the one
exception being in the Third where
the veteran congressman, Phil P.
Cam pbeH, of, Pittsburg was defeatd
in the primary election, after serv-
The defeat of Campbell by W. H.
Sproul was the outstanding sensation
of the Kansas primary election ana
came as a special blow to Campbell
and his friends in view of the eminent
position he occupies in the national
House as chairman of the powerfui
rules committee and the furthur fact
that Campbell has been prominently
mentioned as Republican choice for
the speakership at the next session.
TIL IS also odds to the irony of the de-
feat; Sproul "a Sedan lawyer, was the
opponent Campbell defeated twenty
years ago this summer in bitter
contest for his first nomination, in
the Republican district convention
four years before the present direct
primary law went into effect.
