C. J. WARNER.
Charles Joseph Warner, representing the Thirtieth District, Lancaster county, Nebraska, was born in the district which he represents, his birth-place being near Waverly, in Rock Creek Precinct, where he first saw the light of day on the 29th day of March, 1875, and his birthplace has since been his residence. After completing the public school courses he spent two years at Luther Academy, Wahoo, Nebraska, and then entered the University of Nebraska, from which he graduated in 1899. He entered the law department of the same institution in 1900. In 1901 he served as a member of the Legislature, and was re-elected in 1902. During the winter of 1902 he studied law at the Columbian University, Washington, D. C., and for some time was employed in the office of the Comptroller of the Currency. He has the distinction of being the second youngest member of the House, and the fact that he received a majority of 2,378 votes in his district in 1902 is evidence that his youthfulness is over-balanced by the services he rendered his constituents. Mr. Warner is one of the bachelors in the House.
