to a third term, instead running for President of the United States as the Republican Party nominee against Lyndon B. Johnson. Governor of Arizona Paul Fannin ran unopposed in the Republican primary, and defeated Democratic nominee Roy Elson, who was a staff member for U.S. senator Carl Hayden until Hayden's retirement in 1969. Despite a landslide loss throughout the country, and Goldwater only able to obtain 50.45% of the vote in his home state of Arizona, Fannin managed to prevail in the state's Senate election. Goldwater would win the election for the other Senate seat in 1968 when Hayden retired from the post and serving two more terms. California Democratic incumbent Pierre Salinger, who had been appointed to the seat following the death of Senator Clair Engle three months earlier, was defeated in his bid for a full term by Republican candidate George Murphy, a retired actor. Connecticut Democrat Thomas J. Dodd was re-elected and served a second term. John Davis Lodge, grandson of Henry Cabot Lodge was defeated by almost 30%. Delaware Republican incumbent John J. Williams was reelected to a fourth term, defeating Democratic Governor Elbert N. Carvel. Florida Democratic incumbent Spessard Holland was reelected to a fourth term in a landslide, defeating the Republican candidate, future governor Claude R. Kirk Jr. Hawaii Republican incumbent Hiram Fong was reelected to a second term, defeating Democratic Congressman Thomas Gill Indiana Democratic incumbent Vance Hartke was reelected to a second term, defeating Republican State Senator Russell Bontrager. Maine Democratic incumbent Edmund Muskie was reelected to a second term, defeating Republican Congressman Clifford McIntire in a landslide. Maryland Republican incumbent J. Glenn Beall was defeated in his bid for a third term by Democratic candidate Joseph Tydings, the former United States Attorney for the District of Maryland and son of former Senator Millard Tydings. Beall's own son, J. Glenn Beall Jr., would go on to defeat Tydings six years later. Massachusetts Incumbent Democrat Ted Kennedy, who had won a special election two years earlier, defeated his challengers to win his second (his first full) Senate term. Much of the campaign-appearance burden on behalf of Ted Kennedy fell on his wife, Joan, because of Ted's serious back injury in a plane crash. Candidates: Ted Kennedy - Incumbent senator elected in 1962 to the unexpired term of John F. Kennedy. Howard J. Whitmore, Jr. - Member of Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1947
