Defeat Of Representative Campbell
of the House rules committee, in the
third Kansas district, was the big
primary surprise in congressional
circles here.
For some time his friends, especially
among the western group of House
republicans, had been grooming him
as a candidate for Speaker next year
against Speaker Gillett. Although he
had never permitted a campaign to
be formally launched, it was gener-
ally understood that he would be put
up as a western candidate In the
party conference.
AS chairman Of the rules committee,
Mr.. Campbell often had found oppo-
sition among certain elements in his
party to special rules which gave
privileged status to important bills.
