It was suggested during the campaign that Tammany Hall boss Charles F. Murphy might block Al Smith's third consecutive nomination for Governor, leaving him to accept the nomination for Senate as a compromise. However, Smith carried the gubernatorial nomination unanimously, and the Senate nomination was given unanimously to Dr. Royal S. Copeland, the President of the New York City Board of Health who had gained attention for his handling of the Spanish flu pandemic."Democrats Name Smith for Governor". The New York Times. September 30, 1922.
