The 1914 American Congress elections covers both elections in the House and in the Senate. It was the first Congorial election where the people where allowed to vote on both the House and the Senate. It resulted in the Progressive Party cementing its existence, with much help from articulate speakers such as Theodore Roosevelt, Eugene Debs and Robert LaFollette. Despite Progressive gains the Republican Party managed to gain over fifty seats in the House. They still lost a few seats in the senate and still had not managed to over throw the Democratic majority in the house, thus the Democrats where safe for the time being.
