C. Young Republican Party (United States) James Rolph Jr. Republican Party (United States) Governor The 1930 California gubernatorial election was held on November 4, 1930. San Francisco mayor James Rolph was elected in a landslide over Milton K. Young. This was the last of three consecutive elections in which the incumbent lost the Republican primary. In the Republican primary, Rolph defeated incumbent governor C. C. Young and Los Angeles County district attorney Buron Fitts in a three-way race. Fitts won the Prohibition Party primary, but under the Hawson amendment, he was not able to accept the nomination, because he lost his own party's primary. Milton K. Young won the Democratic primary without intraparty opposition. For the second consecutive election, the Republican nominee won a landslide. Rolph became the second candidate (after Young in 1926) to sweep every county in a governor's election, and set new records with over 72 percent of the vote and a majority of over 665,000 votes over Young.
