D. C. BADGER, COLUMBUS, OHI.O.


Dewitt C. Badger, Democratic Representative from this district, was born in Madison County, Ohio, in 1858. He worked on a farm and attended district school until 17 years of age, when he taught school until he saved enough to pay for two terms at Bloomingburg Academy, and a short term at Mt. Union College.


Upon his admission to the bar by the Supreme Court of Ohio, in 1881, he began the practice of the law at London. In 1882 he was elected Prosecuting Attorney of Madison County, on the Democratic ticket; in 1893, Judge of the Common Pleas Court and re-elected in 1897. In 1899 Mr. Badger was the Dem- ocratic candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court of Ohio. In 1902 he was elected to Congress from the 12th district.


Mr. Badger has been successful as a practicing attorney, and has been en- gaged in many important cases in the various courts of this state. He is now associated in the practice with D. B. Ulrey, under the firm name of Badger & Ulrey, at Columbus.


Judge Badger is a man of strong personality, and good common sense. In 1885 he was married to his present wife, and has three children.

AMOS HENRY JACKSON.


Amos Henry Jackson, Republican, of Fremont, was born in Delaware County, New York, near the village of Franklin, May 10, 1847; in 1854 moved with his parents to Gibson, Steuben County, N. Y., where he attended the village school until 1862, when the family moved to a farm near Corning, N. Y., where he worked with his father until 1866. About this time he was seized with the spirit of the day among lads of his age, "a burning desire to go west;" and having up to this time managed to accumulate about $500, taking this fund with him he started across the continent landing first in St. Louis. While waiting for a train at this point he fell asleep in the railroad station and when he awoke he found himself minus his roll of cash, which prevented him from going farther west and compelled him to take employment at whatever he could find. For a time he found work on some bridge building, but soon after started out for himself in the street-vending business, which he continued to follow very successfully until 1882, when he engaged in the manufacture of muslin and flannelette gar- ments for men, women and children, with factories at Fremont, Sandusky, Tiffin and Clyde, Ohio; is president of the Jackson Knife & Shear Company, of Fre- mont; was elected mayor, of Fremont in 1897, and re-elected in 1899, serving two terms; was married November 28, 1872, to Miss Mary Sharp, of Fremont, and they have three daughters; was elected to the Fifty-eighth Congress, receiv- ing 22,496 to 22,169 for James A. Norton, Democrat, 441 for Hewson L. Peeke, Prohibitionist, and 402 for Charles R. Martin, Socialist Labor. In this Congress he served on the committee on Patents, and the committee on Manufactures.
