The 1912 United States House of Representatives elections were held, coinciding with the
election of President Woodrow Wilson.
Wilson's victory was partly due to the division of the opposition
Republican Party
Republican Party is a name used by many political parties around the world, though the term most commonly refers to the United States' Republican Party.

into conservative and progressive factions. While many progressives stayed within the party framework, they maintained lukewarm relationships with Republican leadership. Others formed a
third party known as the
Progressives and several switched allegiance to the
Democrats. A message of unity was portrayed by the Democrats, allowing this group to present themselves as above the bickering and corruption that had become associated with the Republican internal feud. Many of the new seats that were added after the prior census ended up in Democratic hands. In addition,
William Kent, who had been elected to the House as a Republican in 1908, was elected to
California's 1st congressional district as an
Independent.
The number of representatives was increased for this election to 435, where it currently stands (aside from

following the

Alaska and
Hawaii and subsequent return to 435

In the reapportionment, 1 state lost 1 seat, 22 states had no change in apportionment, 16 states gained 1 seat each, 5 states gained 2 seats each, 2 states gained 3 seats, 1 state gained 4 seats, and 1 state gained 6 seats. Twelve states used at-large seats in addition to districts to elect new seats.
