Some states elected their Senators directly even before passage of the 17th Amendment in 1913. Oregon pioneered direct election and experimented with different measures over several years until it succeeded in 1907. Soon after, Nebraska followed suit and laid the foundation for other states to adopt measures reflecting the people's will. By 1912, as many as 29 states elected senators either as nominees of their party's primary or in conjunction with a general election. The Republicans lost one seat to the Democrats. == Results == Senate Party Division, 61st Congress (1909–1911): * Majority Party: Republican (60 seats) * Minority Party: Democratic (32 seats) * Other Parties: 0 * Total Seats: 92 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United States Senate elections, 1908」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
