The 1924 United States Senate election in Oklahoma took place on November 4, 1924. Incumbent Democratic Senator Robert Latham Owen declined to run for re-election. In a crowded Democratic primary, impeached former Governor Jack C. Walton won the party's nomination with a narrow plurality. In the general election, he faced businessman William B. Pine , the Republican nominee. Though Democratic presidential nominee John W. Davis narrowly won the state over President Calvin Coolidge , Walton's unpopularity and controversy caused Democrats to lose the seat; Pine defeated Walton in a landslide.
