The 1914 United States Senate election in Idaho took place on November 3, 1914. James H. Brady, who previously won a partial term in the 1913 special election after Weldon B. Heyburn died, won a full term, defeating former Idaho governor James H. Hawley. However, James H. Brady would not serve the full term, as he died in January 1918, just three years into it.
This Senate election was a rematch of the 1910 governor election, where James H. Brady lost re-election to James H. Hawley. Not only were both main candidates former Idaho governors, they also both had the first and middle names James Henry.
