Bradley was elected to the position of Speaker Pro Tem of the Minnesota House of Representatives on December 22, 1857, when then-Speaker John S. Watrous took leave to attend to personal business. When, due to Watrous' prolonged absence, the Speaker's chair was declared vacant on March 12, 1858, Bradley was elected Speaker in his own right.[1]
