The primaries and general election coincided with those for federal elections (president and House) and those for state elections.[1] Primaries were held April 10, 1928.[1]
Chicago mayor William Hale Thompson backed Smith for Senate, while Charles S. Deneen, who held Illinois' other U.S. Senate seat, backed Glenn. Thompson and Deneen controlled rival factions of the state's Republican Party.[6][7] Thompson's faction was vastly dominant at the time.[8]
