Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator James J. Couzens, who was appointed following the resignation of Truman Newberry, was elected to a full term in a landslide. He also won the concurrent special election to serve out the remainder of Newberry's term (for the remainder of the 68th Congress), defeating the same candidates by roughly the same margin. Background In 1918, Truman Newberry defeated Henry Ford to win a six-year term in the United States Senate. Each candidate accused the other of campaign spending impropriety. Newberry was ultimately convicted of bribery, corruption of the press and elections boards, and voter fraud, though his convictions were overturned by the United States Supreme Court in Newberry v. United States. Following a separate Senate investigation, Newberry was permitted to take the seat but formally admonished for his excessive spending. Facing renewed calls for his removal from office, Newberry resigned effective November 18, 1922. Governor Alex J. Groesbeck appointed James J. Couzens, the mayor of Detroit and a former Ford Motor Company executive, to fill the vacant seat until a successor could be duly elected. Couzens was sworn in on November 29, 1922. A special election for the remainder of Newberry's unexpired term was scheduled for November 4, 1924, concurrent with the next general election to the seat.
