Lynn Frazier
[1][2][3] Prior to his career in state and national politics, Frazier was a farmer and school teacher.[4][3] Frazier intended to become a doctor, but the unexpected deaths of his father and brother forced him to take over the family farm.[5] After winning the Republican primary as the Nonpartisan League candidate, Frazier was elected Governor in 1916 with 79% of the vote.[9][10] He was re-elected twice, in 1918 and 1920, but an economic depression hit the agricultural sector during his third term and resulted in a successful private-business-led grassroots movement to press for his recall.He served until losing a bid for re-election in 1940, when he was unseated in the Republican primary by William Langer.
