The U.S. House election, 1906 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1906 which occurred in the middle of President Theodore Roosevelt's second term.
As in many midterm elections, the President's Republican Party lost seats to the opposition Democratic Party, but retained a large overall majority. Disatisfaction with conditions among industrial workers in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest caused them to turn out to the polls in large numbers in support of the Democratic Party. However, gains in these regions were not enough to remove the Republican majority.
