The special election resulted in a gain for Republicans, picking up a seat that they had not held since five years prior to the election. The 4th district remained in solidly Republican hands after this election, and has not had a Democratic representative since Le Bond Kloeb's resignation.
The winner of this election, Walter H. Albaugh, was not a candidate for the next election. Robert F. Jones, also a Republican, won the election by 24.5 percentage points, a far greater margin than that of Albaugh's nine-point margin during this special election.
