At the Republican convention in June 1902, Governor Charles N. Herreid was renominated unanimously and without opposition.[1]
As was the case in 1898 and 1900, the Democratic and Populist Parties held separate conventions and then fused together with a common set of nominees. However, this time, the parties agreed that the ticket, though fused, would be listed as the Democratic Party on the ballot.[2] At the conventions, former Watertown Mayor John W. Martin[3] was named as the Fusion nominee.[2]
