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

For thirty-three years the subject Of
this sketch has interpreted the laws Of
the commonwealth of Minnesota, and
during all that time in the estimation of
the men and women who have known
him most 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 q mans
ancestors were is regarded as of COM
paritively little account. It is the man
himself-his 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 E. Vanderburgh was born at
Clifton Park, Saratoga county, N. Y,
on the ID day of December, 1929. 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 1919
he entered Yale college, graduating
with his share of honors three years
later, in 1852.
Immediately after graduating he was
rendered the position of principal of the
Oxford, N. T., academy. While hold
ing this position, and subsequently, he
studied law in the Office of Hon. Henry
Mygatt, a, that period leading attor-

of age, and at once became a
soldier in the Thirteenth regu-
lar infantry-the regiment formerly
commanded by General w. T. Sherman.
He served one year in this organization,
being discharged in 1868 for disability.
The same fall. having recovered his
health, he enlisted in the navy aud 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 a." Second
Iowa cavalry. where he remained until
September, 1865, 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, 1865, therefore, he again
enlisted in his old regiment-the 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 piping times of peace" He was
~ yerrs of age, but his experiences were
those of 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 a 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
we'll 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 1888
and again in 1890.
His position in public life has given
Colonel Bobleter wide and intimate &C
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 go to
make up leader and director among
his fellow citizens.
Always Republican from principle,
his allegiance to his party has been as
though it was part of his religion, and
through his influence largely his friends
and countrymen have held steadfast to
their party obligations. He is pleas
ant gentleman, genial and kindly in his
personal intercourse with his fellows,
sturdy in his own convictions, but char
liable and tolerant toward those who
differ with him.

JOSEPH BOBLETER.

Republican Candidate for State
Treasurer.
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 1858, 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
out-being only 10 years of age when
the first gun of the great struggle was
fred at Fort Sumter.
True to the instincts of his race and
blood young Bobleter desired to become

was precluded therfrom

He continued at school
for another year, and
