Judge Hiram II. Cody, who has been
nominated for Congress in this District,
was born in 1924 in Oneida County, New
FORK, where his ancestors were among the
pioneer settlers, his grandfather having
been soldier of the revolution. His par

! -Four years afterward he WAS chosen Clerk
ct the County Commissioners Court of his
equity, and removed to Naperville, where,
/ upon the adoption of the Constitution of
( 1878, he was nominated by reclamation and
elected the first County Clerk of his coun-

meantime, however, ne had been admitted

at the outbreak of the war was one of the
most ardent Union men in the state-his
energy and eloquent appeals having con
tributed very largely to the brilliant war
record of DuPdge County.
In 1861, in convention embracing all
parties, he was nominated for County Judge
and elected by an almost unanimous vote
In 1869 he was chosen delegate to the Con.
stitutional Convention by majority OF
nearly two hundred, though his opponent
was one the most p pular republicans in
a county in which the democratic minority
was singulaIly small. In this body he as

during the session. In 1874 Judge 5. Viii

composed of Kane, Du Page and Kendall

Cody was elected rs his successor by the

In 1879 three counties having been add

Twelfth Circuit, the republicans made a
party nomination for three judges, who
were elected. At that election, however,
the people, irrespective of party, voluntar-

came near electjng him. At the end Of
his term he resumed the practice of law,
