Fred Malthy Warner (July 21, 1865April 18, 1923) was an American politician. He served as a Republican governor of Michigan from 1905 to 1911.

Birth in England and early life in Michigan

Born in Hickling, Nottinghamshire, England, Warner spent most of his life in Michigan. His father, P. Dean Warner, served in both chambers of the state congress during periods from 1852-1870.

Warner was orphaned at three months of age and adopted by a family in Farmington. He attended the common schools there and later attended the Michigan Agricultural College (now Michigan State University). He worked at his father’s store and later, as a Farmington businessman and agriculturist, he established thirteen cheese factories.

Politics

As a prominent citizen he rose quickly in politics in 1894. From 1895 to 1898 he served in the Michigan Senate just as his father did. From 1901 until 1904 he served as the Michigan Secretary of State under Aaron T. Bliss.

In 1904, Warner was elected Governor of Michigan and served three terms, 1905-1910. He was known as a progressive governor advocating such policies as regulation of railroad and insurance, conservation, child labor laws and woman's suffrage. Also during his six years in office, a factory inspection bill was authorized, a direct primary election law was sanctioned and there was a promotion of highway construction.

Retirement and death

After leaving office, he stayed politically active. Warner was a member of the Freemasons, Shriners, Elks, Knights of Pythias, and Maccabees. In 1920, he began serving as a Republican National Committeeman until his death three years later. He died at the age of fifty-seven of kidney failure and is interred at Oak Hill Cemetery, of Farmington, Michigan.
