Frazier, Lynn Joseph

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.04 sec.

Frazier, Lynn Joseph (1874-1947)

US governor and senator. He became the Republican governor of North Dakota (1917-21) and went to the US Senate (1923-41), where he sponsored the Frazier-Lemke Amendment (1934), which postponed farm mortgage payments for three years.

He was born in Steele County, Minnesota. A successful North Dakota farmer, he was endorsed by the Nonpartisan League before becoming governor. As governor, he established a state run bank and grain processing system, but was recalled in 1921 by opponents of the bank concerned about his increasingly progressive policies. His opposition to US involvement in World War II ended his political career.
