JOHN M. GRAHA1
of Marietta, Given Extraordinary Support
FOR, COURT OF APPEALS
*
John M. Graham, of Marietta, now and for many years connected
with the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals as joint editor and
compiler of the official volumes which contain the decisions of these
courts, is a candidate for one of the three new judgeships of the Court
of Appeals. He is strongly endorsed by the bar of Atlanta and Au
gusta, where he has practised law; by the bar o'f Savannah, Macon,
and other places, including his home city, and by former Judges or
the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals. He is the only candi
date from north of the Chattahoochee river, a large section not yet
represented in the Court of Appeals. In official work like that per
formed by Mr, Graham, Chief Justice Bleckley and Judge J. H. Lump
kin, of tne Supreme Court, and other distinguished jurists, received
training for judicial service. In many Btates such, work has been a
direct stepping stone to the bench.
Among those giving especially strong endorsements to Mr. Gra
ham are former Chief Judge Hill, and Judges Powell and Pottle, of
the Court of Appeals, and former Judges Atkinson, Cobb, Candler,
and Holden of the Supreme Court. Judge Powell writes that he be
lieves Mr. Graham to be ‘the best fitted lawyer in Georgia for this
position." Judge Hill writes: “In my opinion, given without reser
vation and after a most thorough opportunity of knowing whereof I
■peak, the people of this State have the opportunity, furnished by tho
candidacy of Mr. Graham, of securing a judicial officer thoroughly
equipped for the work, of exceptional ability and experience in that
work, of unusual judicial temperament, and a character of the very,
highest integrity. I sincerely trust that the Court of Appeals may,
be strengthened by his selection as one of the new Judges.”
Voters are asked., to include Mr. Graham lit
the three voted for at the Primary of Sept. 12th«
