Election at a Glance shows mixed gains for Democrats in 1926
The Coolidge administration faced an off year with three Republican senators harmed by campaign fund investigations and several threatened races across states including Arizona Missouri Kentucky Maryland Washington Oregon and Colorado. In the House Democrats gained slightly, potentially challenging GOP control through coalitions with insurgents. In New York Governor Al Smith won a fourth term defeating Ogden Mills, boosting 1928 presidential prospects. James W. Wadsworth fell from the Senate as the solid South remained loyal and Republicans failed to reclaim some Southern districts. Illinois Senator Frank L. Smoot won over Breckinridge and in Pennsylvania Republicans William S. Ware defeated Winfield Wilson despite fund inquiry disclosures.
