Adolph Olson Eberhart
Elected the youngest member of the state senate in 1902, the Republican Eberhart was chosen as lieutenant governor four years later in the administration of the legendary Democrat, John Albert Johnson.[2][3] An efficient administrator, Eberhart was also a consummate politician, and his detractors, including many Republicans, questioned his sincerity as well as the reputation of certain close associates.To assure his re-nomination in 1912, he called a special 13-day legislative session and deflated his critics by bulldozing through such progressive reforms as rural school consolidation and primary elections.Eberhart's strategy worked; he avoided the censure of his own party and was re-nominated for a second full term in the first statewide primary.After a career as a real estate and insurance executive in Chicago, he retired to a rest home where he died in Savage, Minnesota.
