During this period, the provincial NDP was led by Russell Paulley, an old-style labour politician not popular among younger members of his caucus. Andrew Russell (Russ Paulley ( November 3, 1909 &ndash May 19, 1984) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. Along with others in the party, Green believed the NDP needed a new leader to become a serious challenger for government. He supported a plan have federal Member of Parliament (MP) Edward Schreyer replace Paulley in 1968. A Member of Parliament, or MP, is a representative elected by the voters to a Parliament.

Although Green claimed (probably correctly) he was not challenging Paulley on ideological grounds, many interpreted his challenge as being endorsed by the party's radical left. Many members of the NDP's youth wing endorsed Green's campaign for the leadership.
One month later, the remainder of the provincial NDP caucus (aside from Ben Hanuschak, who backed Green) announced they would support Paulley in the leadership challenge, with the understanding he would stand down in favour of Ed Schreyer the following year. Ben Hanuschak ( April 29, 1930 - is a Manitoba politician He was a cabinet minister in the government of New Democratic Premier With this unusual endorsement, Paulley defeated Green by 213 to 168 votes at a delegated convention.

Green was the first Jewish-Canadian politician to make a serious bid for the leadership of a major party, and later claimed his efforts opened the door for future leadership bids by Dave Barrett and David Lewis.

Green later accused Saul Cherniack, Saul Miller and David Orlikow of promoting "Jewish-fuelled anti-semitism" (to use Green's exact words), claiming a Jewish lawyer would be unelectable in rural Manitoba. Saul Mark Cherniack PC, CM, OM, QC, LLB (born January 10, 1917 in Winnipeg, Manitoba Saul Alec Miller (born January 20, 1917 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, died September 1, 1993) was a Politician in Manitoba David Orlikow ( April 20, 1918 in Winnipeg, Manitoba – January 19, 1998) was a Canadian politician and a long-serving Green's relations with Cherniack, Miller and Orlikow deteriorated during the 1968 campaign, and remained very poor thereafter.
