The1930 New York state election was held on November 4, 1930, to elect thegovernor, thelieutenant governor, thestate comptroller, theattorney general and a judge[1] of theNew York Court of Appeals, as well as all members of theNew York State Assembly and theNew York State Senate.
TheCommunist state convention met on May 25, and nominated for Governor William Z. Foster who was at the time in jail.[2]
TheSocialist state convention met on July 20 atSchenectady, New York, and nominated again Louis Waldman for governor.[3]
After the enactment ofProhibition, theProhibition Party had seemingly lost its reason to exist. The party had polled less than 10,000 votes and lost its automaticballot access, and had not run in 1924. In 1926, the Prohibitionists got on the ballot by filing petitions and campaigned for "Independent Republican" Cristman who was nominated for U.S. Senator by the "dry" faction of the Republican Party. Their own candidate for governor had polled only a little more than 20,000 votes, not enough to get ballot access, but the openly "wet" incumbent Senator Wadsworth had been defeated. At the same time a referendum was supported by about 90% of the voters to recommend to Congress to change theVolstead Act. The Prohibitionist had not run a ticket in 1928, but now, alarmed by the massive growth of the movement against Prohibition, they emerged again under the name ofLaw Preservation Party, trying to stem the tide. Twenty representatives of "dry" organizations met at the headquarters of theWoman's Christian Temperance Union and nominated Dr. Robert Paris Carroll, aSyracuse University professor, for governor without any running mates.[4]
TheRepublican state convention met on September 28 atAlbany, New York, and nominatedU.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Charles H. Tuttle for governor.[5]
TheDemocratic state convention met on September 30 atSyracuse, New York, and re-nominated the incumbent governor, Franklin D. Roosevelt.[6]
The whole Democratic ticket was elected in a landslide.
The incumbents Roosevelt, Lehman, Tremaine and Pound were re-elected.
The Democratic, Republican and Socialist parties maintained automaticballot access, the Law Preservation Party attained it, the Socialist Labor Party did not re-attain it, and the Communist Party did not attain it.
