As was required at the time, Langdon forfeited his seat after joining the Bent ministry to serve as Chief Secretary of Victoria and Minister for Labour.[1]
Langdon recontested the seat and was elected unopposed. A state election was held just months later on 15 March 1907, where Langdon was again re-elected.[2][3]
