Incumbent DemocraticGovernorAllan Shivers was overwhelmingly reelected in the general election after defeating future Senator Ralph Yarborough in the Democraticprimary. The Republican Party endorsed the Democratic state ticket, including Shivers, in order to attract more votes for their presidential nominee, General Dwight Eisenhower.
Shivers endorsed the Republican nominee for President, Dwight D. Eisenhower, in the concurrent presidential election.[6] In an attempt to maximise support for Eisenhower, the state Republican Party nominated the Democratic state ticket, allowing voters to cast a straight G.O.P. ballot without voting against down-ballot Democratic candidates.[7][8]
