Incumbent Senator William O'Connell Bradley announced his retirement from the Senate on May 14, 1914, and suffered a fall the same day, leading to his death less than two weeks later on May 23, 1914.

Governor James B. McCreary appointed Johnson N. Camden Jr. to fill Bradley's vacant seat until a successor could be duly elected. A special election to complete the unexpired term was scheduled for November 3, concurrent with the regular election to the next term.
