sketch of His Life.
Carrot A. hobart was eminently sue
ccsSful, both In business and politics. His
reputation as a man of affairs and as one
of the shrewdest business men In the coun-
try was, perhaps, greater than his reputa-
ton as political leader and as a states
man until his election to the vice presi-
dency three years ago. Mr.. Hobart was
born In 1914 at Long Branch, n. j. His
ancestors on his fathers side were Eng
fish and on his mothers side Dutch.
Thirty-three years ago he was gradu-
teaching school. Three months later he
entered upon the study OF law with Soc
rates futile, a prominent lawyer in Pas
saic county, n. j., and who was at that
time mayor of Paterson. Young Hobart
is said TO have arrived at Paterson with
but $50 In his pocket and from this small
beginning he made his way unaided to
wealth and prominence.
In 1869 he was admitted to the bar, and
the same year he married the daughter of
Mr.. futile. Mr.. Hobart made his way
rapidly at the bar of his native state, and
his bent led him early into politics. In
1871 he was made city attorney of Pater-
son and in 1872 was elected to the state as
sembly, of which body he was chosen
speaker in the following year.
From 1884 to 1896 he was member Of
the national republican executive commit
tee, and had much TO do with the manage
ment of the national campaigns during
those ~ years. During all these years his
business connections became broader and
broader His keen insight into affairs made
his advice and counsel of such value that
he was sought after by some of the largest
corporations in the{ country and at the
time of his election as vice president he
was director in no less than 60 different
companies.
Mr.. Hobart left but one child. Carrot A.
Hobart Jr,, a boy of II. Fanny, a girl of
%, died In 1895, In Italy, while there with
her parents.
