The Prohibition state conference in July had designated State Chairman Olin S. Bishop to run in the primary for Governor, but on August 31 the enrolled party members received a circular from Bishop urging them to vote for the incumbent Republican Governor Charles S. Whitman bywriting his name in the ballot. The friends of the incumbent Republican Comptroller Eugene M. Travis gathered enough signatures to put him on the Prohibition primary ballot, and the regular candidate Claude V. Stowell also urged the party members to vote for Travis.[1]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^DRY' MEN GIVE AID TO WHITMAN in NYT on September 1, 1918
  2. ^Claude V. Stowell, ofCorning, also ran for Comptroller in 1916
  3. ^Charles Wesley Ervin, ofJamaica, Queens
  4. ^Edmund Moonelis, ran also in 1912 and 1914
  5. ^Charles E. Berns, ran also in 1914
  6. ^Hezekiah D. Wilcox, ofElmira, ran also for the Court of Appeals in 1916 and 1917
  7. ^Clarence Z. Spriggs, ofSyracuse, ran also for Lieutenant Governor in 1916
  8. ^Charles W. Noonan, ran also for Comptroller in 1914 and 1916
  9. ^The total number of votes for Whitman, given by the NYT as "995,094" is more than the total of the separate votes stated here, given by theNew York Red Book for Republican and Prohibition tickets, because it was possible to vote for any candidate writing the name in the "no-party" column. To define the winner of the election, all votes were counted; to define ballot access, only the votes received on the party's ticket.
