The young senator from the Calhoun and Webster counties district, was born in Allamakee county, Iowa, May 25, 1865. For the first fifteen years of his life he resided at his birthplace, then removed to Fort Dodge, his present home. He received a very thorough education in the Lansing schools, Notre Dame University, at Notre Dame, Ind., and the law department of the University of Michigan. Since 1886 he has been in the continuous practice of law in Fort Dodge. He officiated as city solicitor of that city for five years. Senator Healy will occupy a position probably more conspicuous than any other member this session, because he is chairman of the legislative committee, appointed by the last general assembly to investigate the management of the state institutions. This committee consisted of himself and Representatives F. F. Merriam, of Delaware, and C. R. Porter, of Appanoose. They have made a thorough investigation of all the state institutions and will report in favor of some reforms, possibly including a state board of control. Senator Healy has always been a republican and has supported his party with all the intensity of his nature. He was a member of the committee on resolutions in the republican state convention in 1893, and introduced the famous thirteenth plank in the platform of that year, in regard to the liquor question, declaring in effect for local option. During the last session he was one of the readiest debaters and most forceful speakers in either house, and he was always found championing the side where his convictions led him, regardless of personal consequences to himself. Senator Healy is one of the bachelors of the assembly. He is a member of the Catholic church. He is a member of the K. P. and Elks lodges. His legal partner is the Hon. Michael Healy, his brother, who is as prominent in democratic politics of the state as Senator Healy is in the republican. Last session he served on the committees on corporations, of which he was chairman, judiciary, congressional and judicial districts, labor, mines, printing, and public lands.
