The 1901 New Jersey gubernatorial election was held on November 5, 1901. Republican nominee Franklin Murphy defeated Democratic nominee James M. Seymour with 50.88% of the vote.

Republican nomination

[edit]

At the Republican convention in Trenton on September 26, Franklin Murphy was nominated without opposition.[1] His name was presented by Senator Thomas N. McCarter of Essex and his nomination was seconded by George Record. A speech was given by John W. Griggs and much of the convention was devoted to mourning the death of President William McKinley less than two weeks prior.[1]

Democratic nomination

[edit]

Candidates

The Democratic convention was held in Trenton on October 1. Unlike the Republican convention, the nomination for Governor was hotly contested and required two ballots to resolved.
