The1922 South Dakota gubernatorial election was held on November 7, 1922. Incumbent Republican GovernorWilliam H. McMaster ran for re-election to a second term. After beating back a challenge in the Republican primary from perennial candidateGeorge W. Egan, McMaster advanced to the general election, where he faced former State Senate President Louis N. Crill, the Democratic nominee, and suffragistAlice Lorraine Daly, the Nonpartisan League's nominee, and the first woman to run for governor.[1] McMaster won by a large margin, but the race was considerably narrower than the1920 election.
Louis N. Crill, the former President of the State Senate and the1902 Democratic nominee for Governor,[2] was the only Democratic candidate to file for governor and won the nomination unopposed.[3]
