Arizona became a new state February 14, 1912, with senators in classes 1 (ending 1917) and 3 (ending 1915). For the initial senators there was a popular vote held December 12, 1911 — before statehood — and the newly formed state legislature effectively ratified the popular votes March 26, 1912: Democrat [[Henry F. Ashurst]] (class 1) and Democrat [[Marcus A. Smith]] (class 3).
[[Henry F. Ashurst]] was elected to the [[Arizona House of Representatives|Territorial House of Representatives]] in 1897. He was re-elected in 1899, and became the territory's youngest [[Speaker (politics)|speaker]]. In 1902, he was elected to the [[Arizona Senate|Territorial Senate]]. In 1911, Ashurst presided over Arizona's [[Constitutional convention (political meeting)|constitutional convention]].<ref name="Times obit">{{Cite news |date=June 1, 1962 |title=Henry Fountain Ashurst Dead; Former Senator from Arizona |pages=27 |work=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref> During the convention, he positioned himself for a U.S. Senate seat by avoiding the political fighting over various clauses in the constitution which damaged his rivals.<ref name="Dean of Inconsistency">{{Cite journal |last=Johnston |first=Alva |date=December 25, 1937 |title=The Dean of Inconsistency |journal=[[The Saturday Evening Post]] |volume=210 |pages=23, 38–40}}</ref>

Line 1,780:
Incumbent Republican [[Harry A. Richardson]] retired after one term in office.
Democrat [[Willard Saulsbury Jr.]] had been a member of the [[Democratic National Committee]] since 1908 and had run for U.S. senator in [[1899 United States Senate election in Delaware|1899]], [[1901 United States Senate election in Delaware|1901]], [[1903 United States Senate special elections in Delaware|1903]], [[1905 United States Senate election in Delaware|1905]], [[1907 United States Senate election in Delaware|1907]], and [[1911 United States Senate election in Delaware|1911]], but Republicans controlled the state legislature and he was unsuccessful. In 1913, however, Democrats were in control of the legislature, Saulsbury was the preference of most Democrats, and he obtained the required majority January 29, 1913, after several days of balloting. This election was the first time since [[1883 United States Senate election in Delaware|1883]] that a Democrat won a full term for this Senate seat in Delaware.
