Carpenter was born on September 2, 1878, in Mendon, Massachusetts.[3][4] He graduated from Boston University School of Law in 1901, and became a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives in January of 1905.[3] In 1923, Carpenter was elected as the attorney general of Rhode Island, a position he would hold for the next two years until 1925, when he was replaced by Charles P.
