Kern Democratic Party (US) The 1912–13 United States Senate elections were held on various dates in various states. They were the last U.S. Senate elections before the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913, establishing direct elections for all Senate seats. Senators had been primarily chosen by state legislatures. Senators were elected over a wide range of time throughout 1912 and 1913, and a seat may have been filled months late or remained vacant due to legislative deadlock.https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/17th-amendment 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Direct Election of U.S. Senators (1913) National Archives and Records Administration February 8, 2022 Some states elected their senators directly even before passage of the Seventeenth Amendment. 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. In these elections, terms were up for the senators in Class 2. The Democrats gained control of the Senate for the first time in 20 years. Of the 32 seats up for election, 17 were won by Democrats, thereby gaining four seats from the Republicans. Two seats were unfilled by state legislators who failed to elect a new senator on time. These elections coincided with Democrat Woodrow Wilson's victory in the presidential election amid a divide in the Republican Party. In the Senate, Joseph M. Dixon and Miles Poindexter defected from the Republican Party and joined Theodore Roosevelt's new Progressive Party. Dixon, however, lost his seat during this election.

However, though the Democrats held a plurality of the Illinois General Assembly, they did not have a majority. The General Assembly took up the matter of electing the senators on February 1. The General Assembly therefore failed to elect until after the new congress began. On March 26, in a compromise arranged by governor Dunne, the General Assembly elected Democrat J. Hamilton Lewis to fill the full-term seat, and Republican Lawrence Y. Sherman to fill the two remaining years of a vacancy that had just recently opened.

Sherman in the Republican "advisory" primary, in which the voters expressed their preference for senator, but the decision was not binding on the General Assembly, which made the actual choice. Cullom had suffered politically over his support for the other Illinois senator, William Lorimer, who was embroiled in a scandal over alleged bribery in his 1909 election to the Senate. After his defeat, Cullom withdrew his name from consideration by the General Assembly. The Illinois General Assembly eventually elected the Democratic nominee, Congressman J. Hamilton Lewis, on March 26, 1913, who had also won the Democratic advisory primary, as the sole candidate on the ballot.

As of , this is the last time the Democrats won the Class 2 Senate seat in Kansas, and the only election where Democrats won the popular vote in this Senate seat. This represents the longest current winning streak of either party for a single Senate seat. Curtis' political career, meanwhile, would rebound, as he was elected to Kansas' other US Senate seat, first by defeating Kansas' senior senator Joseph L. Bristow in the Republican primary, and then winning re-election nonconsecutively to the U.S Senate by a very narrow margin over two opponents, becoming the first Kansan to be popularly elected to the U.S Senate. Curtis would serve in the Senate for three terms before resigning to become U.S. vice president in March 1929, the first Native American to serve in that office.

United States Senators Chosen, 1912 457 Percy had won in 1910 (to finish a vacant term) despite Vardaman's support of a plurality of legislators (all white). The fractured remainder sought to thwart his extreme racial policies. A majority united behind Percy to block Vardaman's election. Percy had advocated education for blacks and worked to improve race relations by appealing to the planters' sense of noblesse oblige. Disenfranchisement of blacks made the Democratic primary the deciding competitive race for state and local offices in Mississippi. In this rematch, Vardaman's campaign was managed by Lieutenant Governor of Mississippi (and future senator) Theodore Bilbo, who emphasized class tensions and racial segregation, attacking Percy as a representative of the aristocracy of the state and for taking a progressive stance on race relations. Vardaman, however, would only serve one term, losing renomination in 1918, primarily due to his vote against entry into World War I. Mississippi Democratic primary James K. Vardaman 79380 C. H.

The bitterness over Catron and Fall's alliance made Fall a target of the local Republican Party, as they believed Fall had not contributed sufficiently to their efforts to secure New Mexico's statehood, and was not worthy of their nomination. The selection of Catron and Fall also disappointed Hispanics, who had hoped that one of their own would be selected. Fall was also severely disliked by Democrats. After various votes, the legislature re-elected Fall January 28, 1913. Governor McDonald, on the advice of his Democratic legal advisor, Summers Burkhart, said that the legislature's procedure had been illegal, and failed to sign the credentialing papers in an attempt to oust Fall by forcing a special session of the legislature and a new vote.Twitchell Ralph Emerson The Leading Facts of New Mexican History Torch Press 1911 V Cedar Rapids, Iowa 122 3828708 Twitchell The attempt failed; Fall won the special legislative election.Twitchell 203 North Carolina thumb|300px|Democratic primary results by county Simmons: #a5b0ff 40–50% #7996e2 50–60% #6674de 60–70% #584cde 70–80% #3933e5 80–90%Kitchin: #87de87 40–50% #5bc75b 50–60% #41b742 60–70% #309a30 70–80% #217821 80–90% #165016 >90%Clark: #ffac8e 30–40% #ff8e65 40–50%No vote: #808080 thumb|125px|Senator Furnifold Simmons List of United States senators from North Carolina 1912 United States House of Representatives elections in North Carolina Two-term Democrat Furnifold Simmons was easily re-elected on January 21, 1913.

The Democratic Party of South Carolina organized primary elections for the U.S. Senate beginning in 1896, and the General Assembly would confirm the choice of the Democratic voters. Incumbent Democrat Benjamin Tillman, who had served since 1895, drew opposition in the Democratic primary for the first time during his career. He had long avoided any opposition because of his influence in the Democratic Party in the state, but by 1912 he had moderated his positions and lost the radical edge that had allowed him to build up a hard core following of support. The radicals in the state electorate had thrown their support to Coleman Livingston Blease in the gubernatorial election of 1910, and the Bleasites were determined to knock his chief opponent, Tillman, out of office. W. Jasper Talbert emerged as the candidate of the Bleasites, and Nathaniel B. Dial entered the race as an alternative to the two. The voters of the state split their support between the Tillmanite and Bleasite factions, as both Tillman and Blease won their respective primaries. Tillman won the Democratic primary.
