He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1912 to the Sixty-third Congress, and afterwards resumed the practice of law in Minneapolis, Kansas. He moved to California and engaged in banking and ranching.

Rees died in Anaheim, California on May 30, 1935, and was interred in Fairhaven Cemetery, Orange, California.
