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 . They were held for the most part on November 3, 1914, while Maine held theirs on September 14. They were held 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 the party gained more than 60 seats from the Democratic Party , though not enough to regain control of the body. The burgeoning economy greatly aided Republicans, who pushed for pro-business principles and took credit for the success that had been reached in the industrial sector. Many progressive Republicans rejoined the Republican Party, but six remained under the Progressive Party banner in the new Congress. 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 .
This was one of two elections in the 20th century where Democrats won a House majority without winning a majority of votes, along with 1942.

Early election date
Maine held its elections early, on September 14, 1914. There had previously been multiple states with earlier elections, but Maine was the only one remaining by 1914 (after Vermont stopped holding its elections early, after 1912). Maine would continue to hold elections early, in September, until 1958 .
