Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 238, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 October 1918 — Senators and Representatives [ARTICLE]

Senators and Representatives

The term of a state senator is generally longer than that of a representative* although in 18 states it is the same. In two-thirds of the states senators are elected for four years, while the usual term for representative is two years. Massachusetts and Rhode Island are the only states that elect both senators and representatives annually.
