1914 United States House of Representatives elections
Champ Clark Democratic Champ Clark Democratic 1914 United States House of Representatives elections were elections for the United States House of Representatives to elect members to serve in the 64th United States Congress.The burgeoning economy greatly aided Republicans, who pushed for probusiness principles and took credit for the success that had been reached in the industrial sector.In addition, William Kent was re-elected in California's 1st congressional district as an independent, and two minor party candidates were elected: Charles H. Randall, a Prohibition Party member, in California's 9th congressional district; and Meyer London, a Socialist Party member, in New York's 12th congressional district.The election was the first of four times in the 20th century in which either party won the House majority without winning the popular vote, with the subsequent three instances occurring in 1942, 1952, and 1996; Democrats won the House majority without winning the popular vote in the former election, while Republicans did so in the latter two.Incumbent James Wickersham, after serving one term as a Progressive, returned to the Republican Party.
