The 1918 Minnesota lieutenant gubernatorial election took place on November 5, 1918. Incumbent Lieutenant Governor Thomas Frankson of the Republican Party of Minnesota defeated Minnesota Democratic Party challenger Charles H. Helweg and National Party candidate George D. Haggard.
The incumbent is the current holder of an office. This term is usually used in reference to elections, in which races can often be defined as being between an incumbent and non-incumbent(s). For example, in the 2017 Hungarian presidential election, János Áder was the incumbent, because he had been the president in the term before the term for which the election sought to determine the president. A race without an incumbent is referred to as an open seat.
Thomas Frankson was born in York Township, Minnesota. He was the 22nd Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota from 1917 to 1921. Frankson was a lawyer, real estate developer, and politician. He died June 8, 1939 in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The Republican Party of Minnesota is a conservative political party in the U.S. state of Minnesota. It is affiliated with the United States Republican Party.
