Mr. Wanton also took an active part in civil and military as well as naval affairs. He was elected a Deputy for Newport in 1705-06, 1708 to 1712, and 1713-25, and was speaker of the House of Deputies for the whole period except 171 3, when he was an Assistant, an office to which he was elected 1706-07-13, 1725 to 1731 and 1733. He was a major for the Island 1705-07-08-09, and colonel of the militia regiment 1719-20. In May, 1732, Col. Wanton was elected Governor to succeed Governor Jenckes, and... his brother, Maj. John Wanton, was elected Deputy-Gover- nor — it being the only time when brothers held the two highest offices in the government at the same time. Commissioners were appointed to meet others of Massachusetts to determine the boundary line between the two Colonies. By His Majesty's instructions the Assembly repealed the act of 171 1, for la)ing a duty on negro slaves imported into this Colony. In 1741, an act was passed for suppressing lotteries. An act was passed for electing judges and clerks of courts annually, instead of during the term of good behavior.
