Goldstein Rules on Wallace Successor in NY Election
New York Attorney General Nathaniel L. Goldstein maintains that the lieutenant governor vacancy created by Thomas W. Wallace's death need not be filled in the November General Elections. He argues the governor's duties devolve to the Senate leader Joe R. Hanley, making him acting chief executive until 1946, with a judicial challenge likely to follow. Democratic and Roosevelt factions contend the people should elect a lieutenant governor this year.
