By his conduct in munlcipal poli- tics in Montreal and in federal politics, Mr. Coderre has gained the confidence of both parties. While the Montreal Conservative press praised Mr. Coderre on his appointment, the Liberal press was no less pleased. The Montreal “Fitness (Liberali says: “Mr. (‘0- derre’s advancement in the federal parliament has been most rapid indeed. and is a source of unal- loyed pleasure to his many friends of both political parties in Mont- His work in the en- real. .

Mr. Co- derre is deservedly popular. per- sonally. and so far as his party is concerned has earned by re« peated sacrifices in its interests :1 strong claim upon its support.” These tributes seem to express the general sentiment of Montreal and the province of Quebec con- cerning the Hon. Mr. Coderre. His appointment is gratifying to both the English and French sections of his constituency, because his aim has always beenl ’entente cor- diale between the two races in the province of Quebec. His appoint- ment as a minister of the crown by Premier Borden put the seal of success upon the work of “Friend Louis,” as he is known by both French and English. of Commons. Mr. Coderre aevuwu parliamentary himself to learning routine and becoming acquainted with the temper of the House. When occasion arose he spoke in such a manner as to comm admiration and attention of the House. His incursions into debate were few but forceful.

C., from the position} of rankdfind-tile member of Par. hament to that o! a cabinet thirteen months a con- Conaerv September 21, 1911, Louis Coderrel occupied a foremost position Mr. Coderre‘s political career has been brief but strenuous. Al- though finding politics asource of constant interest ever since he graduated from the law school. it was not until June, 1908, that he became a candidate for parlia- mentary honors. In that month he contested Hochelaga in the general provincial election, his opponent being the Hon. Jeremie Decarie. Undismayed by his defeat, that same autumn he was the Conser- vative candidate in the federal election in the same constituency. in opposition to Mr. L. A. Rivet. The victor was the Liberal stand.- ard bearer, Mr. Rivet. When the contest came in September, 1911, Mr. Rivet and Mr. Coderre were opponents again. This time, how- ever, Mr. Coderre led his. former conqueror by over 1300 votes. Mr. Coderre is a Quebec man, having been born at St. Ours on Nov. 1, 1865. He was educated at the St. Ours Private School and at St. Hyacinthe College. In 1892. when 26 years of age, he gradu- ated from Laval University with the degree of L.L.B., although five years previously he had been made an advocate. He studied law in the office of Mr. Justice Pagnuelo, and in later years became head of the firm Codex-re. In 1896 he was chosen as city attorney for St. Henri; in 1907 he accepted the same position for Emard. For five years, beginning in 1905, he was 'Iyndic of the Mont- real Bar. V. IRWM.
