    • The 1914 United States Senate election in Illinois took place on November 3, 1914.
      Incumbent Republican senator Lawrence Yates Sherman, first elected to a partial term by the Illinois General Assembly in a special election the previous year, was reelected to a full term as U.S. senator by a popular vote.


      Background


      The primaries and general election coincided with those for House and those for state elections. Primaries were held September 9, 1914.
      The 1914 United States Senate elections were the first to be held after the Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution went into effect, and this was therefore the first Illinois U.S. Senate election to be held by a popular vote.
