The 1901 New Jersey gubernatorial election was held on November 5, 1901. Republican nominee Franklin Murphy defeated Democratic nominee James M. Seymour with 50.88% of the vote.
At the Republican convention in Trenton on September 26, Franklin Murphy was nominated without opposition.[1] His name was presented by Senator Thomas N. McCarter of Essex and his nomination was seconded by George Record. A speech was given by John W. Griggs and much of the convention was devoted to mourning the death of President William McKinley less than two weeks prior.
The Democratic convention was held in Trenton on October 1. Unlike the Republican convention, the nomination for Governor was hotly contested and required two ballots to resolved.
