Butler to resign as GOP committee chairman in 1926
Washington April 13 Senator William M Butler of Massachusetts will resign as chairman of the Republican National Committee when the committee meets next December to organize for the off year senatorial and congressional elections. Joseph B Kealing of Indiana is slated to succeed him. Butler, selected by President Coolidge to head the committee, plans to quit to run for re election to the Senate. The plan seems aligned with White House approval, with Ralph E. Williams of Oregon opposing and likely to yield. Kealing would lead the committee until its reorganization after the June 1926 national convention.
