The politically weavering county of Bremer in 1893 returned the Hon. John Homrighaus to the legislature. Now he is a Democrat and was a member of. the Twenty-second General Assembly as a Republican. Born in Tuscarawa county Ohio, November 18, 1845. he attended the public schools in his native state and in 1880 read law for a few months In Waterloo Iowa. For many years he has been a resident of Bremer county. At present he is engaged in farming, but has heretofore been in contracting and wagon making business. Always active in politics, he had held a number of offices. The first position to which he was nominated by the Republicans was that of justice of the peace. In 1883 he was elected to the board of supervisors of his county. In 1888 as before stated, he was elected to the Twenty-second General Assembly. Among his other business interests he is president of the Bremer County Fire Insurance company. Among the secret orders he has shown his preferences by joining the and the Knight of Pythias. When it comes to legislation he will be found laboring to have our present road law so changed as to give the State of Iowa better public highways; he takes a deep interest in temperance legislation and would like to see the present prohibitory law repealed and a good license law enacted. It was the prohibition question that turned him from the Republican to the Democratic party.
