The1928 North Carolina gubernatorial election was held on November 6, 1928.Democratic nomineeOliver Max Gardner defeatedRepublican nomineeHerbert F. Seawell, with just over 55% of the vote. This was, relatively, a close election for the time in North Carolina, with Gardner receiving the smallest percentage of the vote that any Democratic gubernatorial nominee won between 1900 and 1956. The result came against the backdrop of divisions in the state Democratic Party over the controversial nomination ofAlfred E. Smith for president. Gardner supported Smith, wholost the state toHerbert Hoover.[1]
