On June 22, 1925, Republican Senator Edwin F. Ladd died in office. Governor Arthur G. Sorlie appointed Gerald Nye, a former congressional candidate and a prominent progressive activist, to fill Ladd's vacancy. A special election and regularly scheduled election were scheduled for the same year, though the special election, to fill the remaining months of Ladd's term, took place months before the regularly scheduled election. Nye won the endorsement of the Nonpartisan League and rejected any efforts by the state Republican Party to nominate him.March 31, 1926 Nye Says He Doesn't Want Nomination Bismarck Tribune Bismarck, N.D. 1 https://www.newspapers.com/clip/79840173/the-bismarck-tribune/ June 19, 2021 Meanwhile, the Democratic Party opted not to run a candidate, instead fusing with the Republicans to support the anti-Nonpartisan League campaign of former Governor Louis B.
