BOARD MEN
FOUGHT IN SENATE
Governor Davis Submits 63
Appointments; Only
3 Contested,
ALL ARE CONFIRMED
Prominent Social Workers of
Richmond High in Praise
of Hodges.

HiStE-three appointments to State
boards and commissions made dur
Ing the past two years were con-
hrmcd yesterday by the Virginia
Senate In an executive session Of
more than two hours, in which only
three names were contested. The
fight on the Senate floor was n ron.
tinuation Of an early meeting of the
Committee on Nominations. which
mad" "a favorable report on all names
before it by vote OF to !. taken
in executive session.
The two hour contest on the floor
was against the confirmation OF the
flames OF Leroy Hodges, aid to Gov
crnor Davis. as chairman of the State
Peni;entiary Board, and William T..
sullivan. OF Richmond. and William
ID. Saunders. OF Blacksburg, on the
same board. a vote of "a to II
favored the appointments of the out
going administration.
Aftermath of Suspensfon.
Chief opposition to the penitcn-
tiary board appointments was an
aftermath Of suspension two years
ago Of ]. II. Wilkinson. of Richmond.
and the subsequent designations OF
two fellow members. The fact that
the term of Mr.. Wilkinson would have
expired in 1921. and that the nomi-
nation to succeed him was to MI n
vacancy, was big factor in re-
ducinS opposition.
Senator'S Mills and Cannon, of Rich
mond. and Gum. of Henrico. were
those who endeavored to have the
Committee on Nominations report un-
favorably on the penitcntiary board
appointments. They pointed out that
Mr.. Wilkinson, the suspended mem
her. had had no opportunity to de-
fcnd himself. Senator Cannon
charged that the whole fight was
brought on by the insistence of Gov
ernor DAVIS that full -time surgeon
be employed by the penitentiary
board. He declared that the Gov
ernor had no right to remove an Of
fetal for merely differing with him.
Governor Davis. in his report to the
Senate. said that the removal was
for wiilful neglect OF duty.
Many men and women prominent
in reform movements spoke in com
mendation of Mr.. Hodges and his fell
low me mbers on the board and highly
praised the present prison admins
tration.
Rixon Casts Negative Vote.
Chairman Booker. of the Commit
tee on Nominations, was insistent
that the list submitted by the Gov
ernor he reported out. The only
negative vote was cast by Senator
Rison, of Pittsylvania.
Unanimous approval to sixty ap-
1ointments to boards was given by
the Senate. The full list follows:
