 | | Utah was entitled to one representative in the United States House of Representatives, and in 1896 Democrat William H. King defeated Republican Lafayette Holbrook by 47,356 to 27,813 votes. |
 | | The Democratic candidate, William Jennings Bryan, polled 42,601 votes, which were the least number of Utah votes he received during his three election attempts in 1896, 1900, and 1908, and it was approximately 10,000 votes more than Alton B. Bunker, the Democratic candidate in the previous election, had received. |
 | | King's anti-New Deal votes in the Senate influenced Utah Democrats to run to the pro-New Deal attorney from Beaver who had served four terms in the U.S. House of Representatives since his first election in 1932. |
