President Pro Tem.
The nomination by the Republicans of the Twenty-seventh-Twenty-ninth Senatorial district of Hon. George H.

He was born on a farm in Lorain County, June 21, 1862, receiving his early edu- cation in the district schools. At the age of 17 young Chamberlain went to Oberlin to pursue his studies, teaching school winters to pay his way. In the fall of 1884 he entered the law office of E. G. Johnson, Elyria, Ohio, and was admitted to the bar of Ohio in June, 1887. Since that time, with the exception of six years, from 1889 to 1895, when he lived in Milwaukee, Wis., he has prac- ticed law in Elyria.
.
Mr. Chamberlain descended from good Vermont and York state stock, and early in life became interested in all political and patriotic events. He has always been a staunch Republican in politics. When it came to the election in a district nominally Republican by 3,000 votes, he received a majority of 3,800.
Mr. Chamberlain was married in June, 1883, to Etta K. Mynderse, and has seven children, four boys and three girls. He is prominently identified with the business and social life of his home city, and is a member of the board of education of Elyria. He was nominated by acclamation for his second term, and on the organization of the 76th General Assembly was elected President pro tem . of the Senate, receiving the unanimous vote of both Republicans and Democrats.
