For a time Wallace appeared to run unopposed, until the entry of Dumont and Democrat Gamaliel Taylor in late April. Taylor withdrew from the race shortly before the election, after which Democrats informally supported Dumont. Both Taylor and Dumont supported completing public works projects mandated by the Mammoth Internal Improvement Act in order of priority, while Wallace favored completing all projects simultaneously.Carmony Donald F.
