SOLDIER
ANNOUNCES
CANDIDACY

Lieutenant J. A. Graham. regimental
surgeon with the S47th infantry at
Camp Pike. Ark. read 10 start for
France. today announces in The Times
his candidacy for reelection on the re-
9ublican ticket TO the office Of coroner
which he has so efficiently hlled.
The systematic administration Of DR..
Graham Is being carried on during his
absence by the coroner's investigator.
H c. Green. and deputies. The depu-
ties are all reputable physicians. Mr.
Green has made an acknowledged sue
cess in his office.
IL nominated and elected it IS very
probable that DR.. Graham viii be back
in Hammond by the first of January
when the new county administration
win take office. but if the Boches are
not licked then nc VIII not be back
until they are. Meantime Lake county
will be honored by having an official
in the service of its country
Dr. Graham completely revolution
lied the coroner's office of Lake county.
lie introduced some modern methods
and carried through some successful
campaigns. His hght on the unpro-
tec.ed grade crossing evil, midwives,
guntoters. and quacks won widespread
admiration from both republicans and
democrats.
There is one trait Or. Graham pos
sesses which no one can deny. lie is
certain big corporations had their own
peculiar way Of taking care Of fatal
ities in their plants. After he had
been coroner a few weeks they were all
doing it his way. They didn't care
much for the publicity that went with
these casualties but the public was
glad to get the truth.
There are many grade crossings in
the country now protected by gates
because of his activities.
The doctor devoted nearly all of his
time TO the duties Of the coroner's Of
fce. practically giving up his private
practice. He ordered postmortems in
an cases demanded by the law and this
has resulted in the uncoverins Of crimes
in the county that might have gone un-
detected. The postmortem in deaths
following industrial accidents protects
the widow and children of the deceased
man so that they can obtain componsa-
tion.
Lieutenant Graham IS possessed of
tremendous energy and is an untiring
worker His enthusiasm for the office
Of coroner has never waned but the cali
of the colors took him away temporar-
ily One cannot imagine the country
st war without DR.. Graham in it. The
thing that his friends are worrying
about IS how his colonel is going to
keep Lieut.. Graham from grabbing a
gun and going over the top when he
gets 70 the front.
