Campbell had been running for the Senate. That was a question easy to answer, 1 just said all of his life.” On his departure from Washington, he received nice back-patting letters from President Truman and Attorney General J, Howard McGrath.

‘Perfect Extrovert A college classmate called Jim “the perfect extrovert” And a newspaper friend ae scribed. Alex as ‘a man who never met a stranger.” Such activities and . attitudes should be helpful In a campaign where he would be up against a self-made man of much the same stripe. It even has been sug-
