About Lem[]

When the residents of Walnut Grove become concerned that Nels Oleson, who plans to run for mayor, will be simply a "puppet" to the whims of wife Harriet Oleson if he were to be elected, it persuades longtime family friend and town resident Lem to run against him in the upcoming election, which he indeed does, in winning it to become the town's new mayor.
