Senate Choice In Four Districts Faces Primary Contests
The article outlines party battles across five congressional districts with opposition in the Republican and Democratic realms. In the fourth district a tight race unfolds for the Republican nomination to succeed James A. Hughes with Hughes's widow and two others seeking. Democrats field four candidates for the same seat. Redistricting by the 1929 legislature shifts Calhoun from the third to the fourth district and Logan from the fifth to the sixth, affecting the candidate lineup. Several Republicans, including James Ellwood Jones, Benjamin L. Rosenbloom, and Albert B. White, claim confidence in victory, while Judge Harry Shaw cautions against assuming nomination. Governor Conley expresses support for Jonca and hints at broad GOP backing.
