Nicholas Longworth Republican Nicholas Longworth Republican The 1926 United States House of Representatives elections were elections for the United States House of Representatives to elect members to serve in the 70th United States Congress.
They occurred in the middle of President Calvin Coolidge's second term.
The most pressing national matters at the time were fragmented, generally related to government's relationship to business or to providing social aid.
However, no predominant issue was able to cast a shadow over the election.
The small, populist Farmer–Labor Party also held two seats following the election.
