Two years after Democrat John Lind lost the governorship to Republican Samuel Rinnah Van Sant, the Minnesota Democratic Party was set to lose seats in the Senate. Without Lind, the Party lost the third party support that they had consolidated in 1898. The People's Party ran candidates against a handful of Democratic candidates in rural areas, hurting Democratic prospects. The Minnesota Republican Party won a large majority of seats, followed by the Minnesota Democratic Party. The new Legislature convened on January 6, 1903. 16 Republicans and 3 Democrats ran uncontested.1903 Minnesota Legislative Manual Minnesota Secretary of State 1903 520–528 Results +Summary of the November 4, 1902 Minnesota Senate election resultsPartyCandidatesVotesSeats#%Republican Party60158,20454.4251Democratic Party4174,23530.2312People's Party69,4683.860Prohibition Party35890.240Independent22,8361.150Total245,578100.0063Source: Minnesota Secretary of Statehttps://www.leg.state.mn.us/lrl/mngov/electionresults Election Results - Minnesota Legislative Reference Library www.leg.state.mn.us 2020-01-08 See also Minnesota gubernatorial election, 1902 References Category:1902 Minnesota elections Minnesota Category:Minnesota Senate elections
