The 1914 Oklahoma gubernatorial election was held on November 3, 1914, and was a race for Governor of Oklahoma. Democrat Robert L. Williams narrowly defeated Republican John Fields and Socialist Fred W. Holt. Also on the ballot were Independents Amos L. Wilson and T. J. Wood as well as Progressive Party nominee John P. Hickam. The Prohibition Party also had ballot access but did not run a candidate in the general election.[1]
