3 Henrik shipstead, Senator-elect
from MINNESOTA, is not only the The first first
Farmer labor Senator to sit IN ,,tl,s the |
United States Senate but he is one OF |
the four men from Minnesota who
have held senatorial seats that were not I
Republicans according to an article
appearing in the Mcleod County
Republic.
Minnesota has had IS senators,
Shipstead makes the 10Th to represent
this state in that body.
First Senators Democrats.
4 The first two senators to be elected
from Minnesota after its admission
as a state were James Shields and
Henry Rice, both Democrats. After
the expiration Of their terms there
was long line Of Republican Sena-
tors until the death of Senator G. *.
Davis gave John Lind, then Governor,
an opportunity to appoint Chas. A.
Towne, Democrat.
Mr.. Towne's term was short how
ever, because as soon as it convened,
a Republican legislature elected Moses
Clapp. Towne was appointed on
Dec. S, 1900 and he was superseded
by Mr.. Clapp on Jan. %, 1901.
First Since 1868.
Outside of its first two senators,
Minnesota has then had Republican
representation in the upper house
continuously except for 49 days while
the Democrat Towne was Senator.
So it may we'll be said that Ship
stead is the first man, since 1868 to
serve in the senate from Minnesota
who was not Republican.
