He won a hotly contested race on the third count over four other candidates including incumbent William Bailey who finished third.[3]

Lampley ran for a second term in the 1940 Alberta general election. He contested a straight fight against Independent candidate Eld Martin. Lampley was defeated by just 139 votes.[4]
