Incumbent Langer won the Republican nomination, and the endorsed Democratic candidate was Harold A. Morrison. Langer and Morrison won the primary elections for their respective parties.

One indepedent candidate, former Governor Fred G. Aandahl, also filed before the deadline. Aandahl, a Republican, presumably ran after failing to receive the Republican nomination against the incumbent.
