Session Notes:
He won the election and was sworn in on the first day of session. His election was contested by Albert L. Thompson for violations related to the Corrupt Practices Act. Flikkie was accused of distributing false reports and giving out cigars.

After an investigation by the Election Contests Committee, John J. Flikkie was confirmed by the House as the winner of the election.
