Marvin R. Dye had been elected to the Court of Appeals in 1944, thus his 14-year term would expire at the end of the year.
Nominationsedit
The Socialist Labor state convention met on March 23 and nominated Eric Hass for governor; John Emanuel[1] for lieutenant governor; Milton Herder for state comptroller; and Stephen Emery[2] for U.S. Senator.[3] The ticket was ruled off the ballot, but Hass and his fellow nominees continued to campaign as write-in candidates.[4]
The Independent-Socialist Party filed a petition to nominate candidates to five offices on September 9 with the Secretary of State.[6]
The Democratic state convention met on August 25 at Buffalo, New York, and re-nominated Governor W. Averell Harriman and Lt. Gov. George B. DeLuca.[7] The convention continued on August 26 and into the early hours of August 27. They nominated D.A. of New York Frank S. Hogan for the U.S. Senate after a roll call (vote: Hogan 772, Thomas E. Murray[8] 304).[9]
The Liberal Party met on August 26, and endorsed the Democratic nominees Harriman, DeLuca and Levitt; and nominated Thomas K. Finletter for the U.S. Senate.[11] On August 28, Finletter declined to run, and urged the Liberals to back Hogan.[12] On September 4, the Liberals substituted Democrat Hogan for Finletter on the ticket, but rejected the endorsement of Crotty.[13] They completed the ticket with Edward Goodell for attorney general.[14]
Resultedit
Despite a good year for the Democratic Party nationwide, almost the whole Republican ticket was elected; only the Democratic Comptroller Arthur Levitt managed to stay in office.
The incumbents Levitt, Lefkowitz, and Dye were re-elected. The incumbents Harriman and DeLuca were defeated.
As of 2023, this is the last time the Republicans won the state's Class 1 Senate seat. (James L. Buckley was elected Senator for this seat in 1970 on the Conservative Party line, defeating appointed incumbent Republican Charles Goodell. Buckley caucused with Republicans in the Senate and ran for re-election as a Republican in 1976, but was defeated.)
Note: The vote for governor is used to define ballot access, for automatic access are necessary 50,000 votes.
