   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.

Lemke, William (Frederick) (1878–1959)

US politician. Son of a homesteader, he practised law in Fargo, North Dakota (1905–20) where he joined the populist Nonpartisan League to create institutions that would benefit small farmers. He turned to business after conservatives attacked the league and had a second political career in the US House of Representatives as a Republican representative of North Dakota (1933–59) where he sponsored the Farm Mortgage Moratorium Act of 1935. An isolationist, he supported conservation measures after the war. Lemke was born in Albany, Minnesota.
