Session Notes: His margin of victory over George Henry Sullivan was 43 votes. A recount occurred and W.W. Wilcox was found to have won by 35 votes. Wilcox was also charged with violations of the fair campaign practices act. After much debate and a vote to unseat, on January 31, 1919 the Senators declared the seat vacant. A new election was held, which Sullivan won.
