petition has been signed by the lawyers
of this bar, asking his Excellency, Gov
ernor A. J. Montague, to appoint as one
Of the members Of the Corporation Com
mission Judge Samuel c. Graham, Of
this place. Owing to the fact of his pro-
found legal ability, coupled with the
fact that he is from a section of the
State which has an unqualified claim to
representation of the commission. pecu-
liarly fits Judge Graham for this import
ant position. There is probably no Sec
ton OF the State that is possessed Of SO
many mineral resources as the South
west. or more developments being made.
not only is the greatest mineral output
from the Southwest, but large shipments
of all kinds, including timber, cattle and
other products.
Judge Graham has not sought the place:
on the other hand, to accept 1t would be-
a financial loss to him. but his many
friends, especially those of the bar, are
exceedingly anxious that the Governor
appoint him. He has more than once
been prominently mentioned as a mem
Der OF the Supreme Court Of Appeals,
and his recent election as president of the
Virginia Bar Association is a recognition
OF his legal ability. and not only has he
been successful as a lawyer, but was until
