Transcription

Background

Incumbent United States Senator Philander C. Knox, who was elected in 1916 for a term set to expire in 1923, died on October 12, 1921. Governor of Pennsylvania William Cameron Sproul appointed State Senator William E. Crow to fill the vacant seat until a successor could be duly elected. The special election to complete Knox's term was scheduled for November 7, 1922, simultaneous with the general election to the next term.

Primary elections were held on May 16.[2] Crow was not a candidate in the primary election and died himself on August 2, 1922. Sproul appointed David A. Reed, who by then had been nominated by the Republican Party for both elections, to complete the unexpired term pending the results of the special election.
