The 1904 Tennessee gubernatorial election was held on November 8, 1904. Incumbent Democratic governor James B. Frazier defeated Republican Winchester mayor Jessie M. Littleton with 55.72% of the vote.
Republicans nominated Winchester mayor Jesse Littleton to challenge Frazier. In September, governor Frazier and Littleton engaged in a series of fierce debates, primarily over the Four Mile Law, which Littleton argued should extend to the entire state, while Frazier, not wanting to further agitate liquor interests, argued that larger cities should remain exempt.[1] On election day, Frazier won easily, capturing 131,503 votes to 103,409 for Littleton.[2]
