69TH CONGRESS- SENATE General Election of 4 November 1924 elected Class 2 Senate seats [term: 4 March 1925 to 3 March 1931] Special Elections to seats other than a Class 2 on or after the date of the 1924 General Election but before the start of the 69th Congress [4 March 1925]: Class 3 (term ending 3 March 1927) [elected on 4 November 1924]- Rice W. Means, Republican of COLORADO [re: death of Senator Samuel D. Nicholson, 24 March 1923] Class 3 (term ending 3 March 1927) [elected on 16 December 1924]- Hiram Bingham, Republican of CONNECTICUT [re: death of Senator Frank B. Brandegee, 14 October 1924] The SENATE of the 69th Congress included 2 Senators from other than the two Major Parties as elected by the People of their respective States, as follows: 1 Farmer-Laborite- Senator Henrik Shipstead of MINNESOTA (Class 1) 1 National Prohibitionist- Senator Lynn J. Frazier of NORTH DAKOTA (Class 1) The election for the Class 2 seat (term: 4 March 1925 to 3 March 1931) from IOWA on 4 November 1924 was a disputed election: incumbent Senator Smith W. Brookhart, a Republican, was the apparent winner of this election and, as a result, was continued in his seat into the 69th Congress; however, Democrat candidate Daniel F. Steck contested the election and, later in that Congress, was declared the real victor by the Senate and, thus, entitled to this seat. Because Senator Brookhart was originally seen as the apparent winner of this election, it is the opinion of TheGreenPapers.com that he be considered as having been elected for purposes of this chart: therefore, Senator Brookhart is counted among the 54 Republicans elected to the Senate of the 69th Congress; likewise, Senator Steck is NOT counted among the 40 Democrats elected to the Senate of that Congress.
