60TH CONGRESS- IN GENERAL

OKLAHOMA was admitted as the 46th State of the Union on 16 November 1907: all 5 of Oklahoma's Congressmen were elected by the People within the respective Congressional Districts of that State before the convening of the "long" session of the 60th Congress on 2 December 1907 and are, therefore, counted among the members of the House of Representatives elected to that Congress; however, as neither of Oklahoma's 2 Senators were elected by the Legislature of the State until 11 December 1907, they are NOT counted among those elected to the Senate of the 60th Congress.

60TH CONGRESS- SENATE

The SENATE of the 60th Congress includes 1 vacancy from the State of RHODE ISLAND [and Providence Plantations], the General Assembly of the State having failed to elect someone to the Class 2 seat (term: 4 March 1907 to 3 March 1913) from that State before the "long" session of the 60th Congress convened on 2 December 1907.
