UNITED STATES HOUSE ELECTIONS, 1908

(Redirected from United States House election, 1908)
The 'U.S. House election in 1908' for the U.S. House of Representatives coincided with the 1908 presidential election, which William Howard Taft won.
Taft was not as popular as his predecessor, Theodore Roosevelt, but won with Roosevelt's backing, and his Republican Party lost only a handful of seats to the opposition Democrats. Without any striking national issues, the Republicans were able to remain in control.
