The People's Independent Party, a remnant of the earlierpopulist movement, chose between the two democratic candidates for lieutenant governor.[6] Although William H. Green edged out the victory in the primary, the People's Independent Party decided to endorse Ralph A. Clark instead, since he was the Democratic nominee and the party did not desire to split the vote with the Democrats in the general election.[1][7]
