THE CONGRESS: Makings of the 73rd
(2 of 2)
Kentucky. At Pineville a deputy sheriff was killed, a miner stabbed during the voting. Impounded by law for 24 hours, the ballots indicated that Democratic Senator Alben W. Barkley, a Wet convert had won renomination over George B. Martin, oldtime Wet, thus breaking a 30-year jinx against Kentucky Senators succeeding themselves. The State's failure to reduce its House seats from eleven to nine required the nomination of all Congressional candidates as Representatives-at-large.
Dates. Hot primaries involving Senatorial nominations: South Carolina, Aug. 30; California, Aug. 30; Louisiana and Wisconsin, Sept. 13; Georgia, Sept. 14.
