CHARLES E. yANDERBURGH.
Republican Candidate for Supreme
Court Justice.


For thirty-three years the subject Of
this sketch has interpreted tho laws Of
the commonwealth of Minnesota, and
during all that time in the estimation of
the men and women who have known
him moss intimately and regarded him
most closely, his life has been one Of
constantly growing usefulness.
Judge Vanderburgh comes from an
old American family. His ancestors
bearing the name. originally from Hol-
land, came to America some generations
before the revolutionary struggle. His
paternal grandfather was soldier in
that memorable war, and others Of his
kinsmen were more or less prominent in
public and private life during the colon
ial period.
In America, however, what . mans
ancestors were is regarded AZ Of COM
paritively little account. It is the man
himself character, ability, and the
record he makes in the community
where his fortunes are cast, that counts
when the final estimate is made ready
for the historical record.
Charles =. Vanderburgh was born at
Clifton Park, Saratoga county, N. Y,
on the I'd day of December. 1899. His
boyhood years were spent on farm
the summer months in labor and those
of winter in attending the district
school. At the age Of II, he in turn be-
came teacher of the young-a profess
sion he followed while preparing for
college. At % years Of age-or in 1849
he entered Yale college, graduating
with his share Of honors three years
later, in 1862.
Immediately after graduating be was
rendered the position of principal Of the
Oxford, N. Y, academy. While hold
ing this position, and subsequently, he
studied law in the Office of Hon. Henry
Mygatt, al that period leading attor-

there is no lack of evidence to prove.
Fortunately his fellow citizens are not
confined to mere oral and current EVIL
dence to show these facts. For nearly
a dozen years he has been rendering
decisions which have met and with
stood the criticisms Of the most acute
and intelligent members of his profess
sion throughout the country. It is to
these the student Of his life will turn in
coming years to discover the moral and
intellectual value of the man.

of age, and at once became a
soldier in the Thirteenth regu-
lar infantry-the regiment formerly
commanded by General w. T.. Sherman.
BE served one year in this organization,
being discharged in 1868 for disability.
The same fall, having recovered his
health, he enlisted in the navy and was
assigned to duty in the flagship of Ad-
miral Porter-the Blackhawk. Here he
remained until December, 1864, when
he was discharged because Of the expira-
ton of his term of enlistment.
He returned to Dubuque and passed
only one month with his friends, the
war fever still raging strongly in his
veins. He again offered his services to
his adopted country and became priv
ate soldier in Company s'L,' Second
Iowa cavalry, where he remained until
September, 1855, being mustered out
with his regiment at Silma, Ala, be-
cause of the close of the war.
Meantime, the war had strongly de-
veloped the military instinct in this
young soldier, and he determined to fol-
low soldering as profession. In De-
cember, 1866, therefore, he again
enlisted in his old regiment Thir-
teenth regular infantry-for three years,
and remained therein until his time had
expired in 1868.
But promotion had ceased with the
war. The young man was ambitious
and soon learned that the prizes
of life were none of them
to be found in the American army in
those s'piping times of peace" He was
22 yerrs of age, but his experiences were
those of a man much older. He turned
his back upon the army and located at
New Ulm, Brown county, Mimi, the
town that has ever since been his home.
In 1882 he was elected member of
the house of representatives from his
district in Brown county and served
one term-the session Of 1888. In
1878 he had established the New
Ulm Review, and conducted that
well known local newspaper in the inter-
est Of the Republican party until Jan
uary, 1887, at which time, having been
elected state treasurer he assumed the
duties Of that position. He has contin-
ued to hold this Office ever since, having
been twice reelected thereto-in 1855
and again in 1890.
His position in public life has given
Colonel Bobleter wide and intimate ac-
quaintance with the leading men Of the
commonwealth, with whom he is uni
versal favorite. Modest and unassum.
ing in his intercourse with his fellows, he
is yet known to possess all Of those
sterling qualities Of character that 60 to
make up leader and director among
his fellow citizens.
Always Republican from principle,
his allegiance to his party has been a

through his influence largely his friends
and countrymen have held steadfast to
their party obligations. He is pleas.

personal intercourse with his fellows

ney OF CnaL secClOn. In 1900 he was ad-
mitted to the bar, and the year follow
ing removed to the new community,
then in its infancy, at tho falls of St.
Anthony. Here he formed partner
ship with Hon. f. r. E. Cornell AFTER
ward justice of the state supreme
court, now dead and entered upon the
active practice of his profession.
Three years later, at the general cleo
ton in 1859, he was elected judge of the
district court, position he held for two
terms of six years each, or until he was
chosen associate justice of the supreme
court in 1881. AT the time of his first
election to the district bench, Judge
Vanderburgh was only 80 years Of age,
and had been in the active practice of
his profession less than five years. His
district was q largo one,
comprising most Of tho newly
organized counties north and west Of
Minneapolis. He was entirely without
judicial experience, the state was new
to organic, political and social life, and
there were untold difficulties which do
not now exist that would test the abil-
ity, courage, and patience of the best
man, and one most DESTROYS of dealing
out equal and exact justice to his fellow
citizens. How well Judge Vanderburgh
discharged his judicial functions may
now be learned in the volumes Of re-
ports stored away in the legal libraries
of the state.
In 1880 he was elected associate jus
tice of the supreme court, and again in
1885 to the same high positio this time
without opposition. There had gradu-
ally grown up throughout the state 8
sentiment that the judiciary should be
removed from the field of practical poll
tics, and the election Of Judge Wander
burgh therefore had no political signifi-
canoe. His election was more in the
nature of tribute to his high personal
character, and testimonial to his judi
cial fairness and perfect rectitude in the
administration of his high and response
BILE duties.
It is hardly necessary in this place to
pay tribute to the personal and official
worth of Judge Vanderburgh. His life
for nearly forty years has been beneath
the white light Of responsible official
position. During his long career he has
been called upon to pass Judgment upon
thousands Of cases-civl and criminal;
to adjudicate between the rich and. the
poor, the educated and the ignorant,
employer and employe. A personal
knowledge Of his character and motives
shows to everyone the instructive and
conscientious character Of the whole

The Republican nominee for state
treasurer is of German blood, having
first seen the light Of day at Dornbirn,
Austria, on the 10th day of April, 1916.
He attended school in his native country
until 1853, when he accompanied his
parents to America, settling with them
at Dubuque, Ia. Here he continued his
education, taking full English course
in the public schools of Dubuque, and
was thus engaged when the war broke

the first gun Of the great struggle was
fired at Fort Sumter.

Prof Wilson Still In Hot Water With
Bis Scholars.


ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. l0.-Prof. A. n.
Wilson is still having trouble with his
scholars in the high school. Since his tussle
with the boys several days ago the professor
has been in bad humor, and the scholars
have taken advantage of this state Of mind
TO make things as unpleasant for him as
possible. However, the professor has been
somewhat to blame for this state Of affairs.
as shortly after his first clash with the boys
he denomInated all rascals and ruffians.
These epithets came to the ears of the boys
aud increased their dislike for their teacher.
Prof. Wilson also remarked that he
dld not intend TO be bulldozed,
and yesterday morning walked into the
school room with bundle Of switches under
his arm. This proceeding only increased
Young Americas mischievous incllnations,
and during the early morning school hours
It was whispered around that some fun
could be expected before the day was over
Sure enough there was, aud the sequel may
result In strike OF the scholars against the
professor. In any event, Mr.. Wilson was
struck.
A BOOK THROWN AT HIM.
When the professor had his back turned a
book was thrown across he room, by whom
nobody. OF course, knew. 1t struck Prof.
wilson between the shoulder blades and
fell fiuttering to the floor. The professor
was mad-dghting mad-and for a while,
TO Judge by his looks. it seemed as il another
scene like that OF a few days ago was Inn
minent. However, Prof. Wilson succeeded
In controlling his temper enough to ask who
threw the book. No satisfaction was vouch-
sefed him, and with a savage look at
VIII kiser, he pounced upon him as the
culprtt and expelled Kser Kiser was in
nocenu aud the scholars came to his aid and
proved concluslvely that he had not thrown
the book. and he was reinstatod The pro-
lessor knew, however, that some one had
thrown it, If for no other reason than boz
cause he had felt It's weight. The pro-
fessor's eagle eye then fell upon Tom Ar
mold, and for some reason he concluded that
he was the guilty party aud expelled him.
There are thirty-two scholars in the grade,
and twenty-five Of them have delcared that
they will not go to school to Prof. Wilson
while he has charge Of the class 1t is
more than likely that the parents OF the
boys will uphold them and demand Prof.
