RNC Campaign Director
Following the Republican victories, Humphreys did not return to the Congressional Committee, but stayed with RNC to become campaign director, a position he held from 1954 until 1960. These years involved the organization of the Republican party nationally, regional planning conferences, strategy development, RNC meetings, analyses of elections and polls, campaign tours, two RNC campaign schools (1955 and 1958), speeches, appearances, and another Dwight D. Eisenhower-Richard Nixon campaign. For the 1956 election Humphreys devised a second original campaign plan, and was also involved in halting the “dump Nixon” movement before the RNC convention.

Famous quotes containing the words campaign and/or director:
“You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.”
—Mario Cuomo (b. 1932)
“The director is simply the audience. So the terrible burden of the director is to take the place of that yawning vacuum, to be the audience and to select from what happens during the day which movement shall be a disaster and which a gala night. His job is to preside over accidents.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
