United States House elections, 1914
|
The U.S. House election, 1914 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1914 which occurred in the middle of President Woodrow Wilson's first term.
The opposition Republican Party had recovered from the split they underwent during the 1912 presidential election, and they made large gains in seats from the Democratic Party, but did not gain a majority. The growing economy, lead to pro-business beliefs taking precedence, and allowed the Republicans to regain many districts. Many former Progressives rejoined the Republican Party, but a number of the most liberal members of the House remained under this banner. Congressman Carl Vinson D-Georgia, who would set the since broken record for longest continuous tenure in the House, was elected to his first full term in this election.
