Two veteran lawmakers Norris of Nebraska and Robinson of Arkansas, who began their congressional careers in 1903, faced primary contests. Norris, an independent Republican who backed Alfred E. Smith in 1928, won Nebraska’s Republican senatorial nomination after a bitter campaign, while Robinson, the Democratic leader and 1928 vice presidential candidate, won Arkansas’ contest by a large margin and continued his push for national prohibition. The pair served 10 years together in the House before moving to the Senate, with their only break in 1913.
