oNE-THIRD U. S. SENATE;
TOTAL HOUSE MEMBERSHIP
TO BE ELECTED THIS YEAR
Majority. of States Hold Primaries to Sc
lect U. S. Senate Candidates.

/ That this is campaign year" is evil
denced by the activities of various state
political committees which are issuing
calls for county. district and state con-
ventions, apportioning the delegates, and
making other necessary arrangements
that are preliminary to every political
primary and election campaign. Practi-
cally every state will hold state primar-
les or conventions and state elections this
year.
In addition to state elections, the en-
tire membership of the House of Repre-
sentatives, and 80 out of 96 United States
Senators are to be elected.
The majority of states hold state wide
primaries for the nomination of United
States Senators. both parties holding
their nominating election on the same
day.
The first state to hold such a primary
is Indiana, which, on May I'd, will nomi-
nate Republican and Democratic candi-
dates for the United States Senate. The
Senator whose term expires in Indiana is
Harry S. New, Republican. Senator New
will he a candidate in the Republican pri-
maries for the nomination to succeed
himself
On May 10th Pennsylvania holds its
state primary at which time both Re-
publicans and Democrats will nominate
two candidates for the United States |
Senate I'his is made necessary by the
recent deaths of both Senators Knox and |
Penrose, whose places are now being tenn
porary filed by gubernatorial appoint
ments, pending the selection of their sue
cessors by the people at the general
election next November
The term of Senator Knox would have
expired March, 1929 and undoubtedly he
would have had no opposition in the Re
publican primaries this year to be his
own successor. Senator Penrose was cleo
led for six years last November, so that
whoever is elected to succeed him will
serve practically a complete term.
The following are the dates of state
vide primaries in other states, at which
candidates for the United States Senate
will be nominated, together with the
lame and political afiliation of the pres
mt incumbent In nearly every case the +
present incumbent will be a candidate in
he primary within his own party for the
