Senate seats shaping up for 1897 party balance
Chicago Tribune weighs the 1897 Senate map with 29 terms expiring in March and projections of party splits. Republicans aim to gain Ohio, South Dakota, Kansas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Utah seats while Utah elections likely bolster GOP majorities. The plan centers on a Republican Senate ahead of a Republican president in 1897.
