TAYLOR COUNTY

JOHN GAMPER (Rep.) holds the unique record of having served
his county in the assembly both as a democrat and republican.
He was first elected to the assembly in 1914 as a democrat but
was nominated and elected as a republican in 1916 and again in
1920 and 1922. Mr. Gamper was born in 1860 in Chur,
Switzerland, and was educated in the common and high school,
normal and University of Zurich. He came to America in 1883 to
join the editorial staff of a German newspaper in St. Louis
but did not like the city life and came to Wisconsin, working
on a farm in Sauk county and that fall went to Medford where
he has since resided. He owns a fine farm and specializes in
raising pure bred Holstein cattle. He was re-elected to the
assembly in November, 1922, receiving 2,532 votes to 282 for
D. J. Smith (Ind.).
