Clinton county sends to the house again this year, two democrats. The subject of this sketch is, as he says, "a dyed in the wool democrat from a river town.'' The Hon. Frank P. McGinn was born on a farm in Bloomfield township, Clinton county, February 22, 1870. Clinton and vicinity has always been his home, where he has grown up to respected and honored manhood. Mr. McGinn will be one of the youngest men of the Twenty-seventh General Assembly. He is a bachelor. He graduated from the high school of Maquoketa in 1889, after which he taught school for a short time. He was a student of the Notre Dame university for awhile, after which he took a special two years course in the collegiate department of the State university. When this course was completed he entered the law department, from which he was graduated in June, 1893. He returned to Clinton and began the practice of his chosen profession the same year. He was one year in partnership with Judge J. S. Darling, but for the last two years he has been alone in the practice. Last fall in selecting a suitable man to represent them in the house, the democrats decided upon Mr. McGinn as a progressive, enterprising representative, one who would be alive to all the benefits of their county in matters of legislation. Though young, he is well informed as to politics, and to legislative routine, and enters the house fitted to represent his constituents most admirably.
