1938 Ohio's 4th congressional district special election
A special election was held in  after the Democratic incumbent, Frank Le Blond Kloeb, resigned when he was appointed as a district court judge on the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. Walter H. Albaugh, the winner, was elected to finish Kloeb's term. 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. Results
