69TH CONGRESS- SENATE General Election of 4 November 1924 elected Class 2 Senate seats Special Elections to seats other than a Class 2
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:
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. |
