Langdon, a Liberal Party member, had been re-elected unopposed at the 1911 election. He died on 27 May 1914, aged 82.[1]
The by-election was won by Achilles Gray, with both candidates being Liberals. A state election was held just months later on 26 November 1914, which was again contested by Gray and unsuccessful candidate William Williams.[2]
