Gillhaus and his running mate, Donald L. Munro of Virginia, received 14,029 votes. In 1912, as the VP candidate on the ticket with Arthur Elmer Reimer, Gillhaus got 29,213 votes. In 1916, again running with Reimer, the two got 14,670 votes. He was the Socialist Labor candidate for Lieutenant Governor of New York in 1918; and the Socialist Labor candidate for New York state attorney general in 1930.
