In 1944, Magnuson was elected to the first of his six terms to the U.S. Senate. He defeated his future Senate colleague, [[Republican Party|Republican]] [[Harry P. Cain]], 452,013 votes (55.1 percent( to 364,356 (44.4 percent). Republican [[Governor]] [[Arthur B. Langlie]] the next month appointed Magnuson to finish the three weeks left in the term of Democratic Senator Homer Truett Bone (1883–1970), who resigned before the expiration of his term. This gave Magnuson an edge in seniority among the senators taking office in 1945.
