Lieutenant Governor.

ALBERT J. WALLACE (Republican) was born in Wellington county, Province of 
Ontario, Canada, February 11, 1853. He was educated in the public school 
and in Victoria University. The condition of his health overthrew his plans 
for a professional career and he located on the prairies of North Dakota in 
1878, engaging in farming, merchandising, and banking until 1886, when he 
removed to southern California, where he has made his home for over a quarter 
of a century. He has been active in oil and land business, was a member of 
the Los Angeles City Council for three years, and has been closely identified 
with various movements for betterment of conditions in city, county and State; 
elected Lieutenant Governor on November 8, 1910, and inaugurated at the same 
time as the Governor (January 3, 1911).
