Background

Incumbent Republican Senator William S. Kenyon, whose term was not set to expire until 1925, resigned effective February 24, 1922 to accept an appointment by President Harding to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.[1] Governor Nathan Kendall appointed Charles A. Rawson to fill the vacant seat until a successor could be duly elected.

The special election to complete Kenyon's term was scheduled for November 7, coincident with the general election.
