Governor-Elect Sulzer May Ap
point Former Georgian Pub
lic Service Commissioner.
According to an article in The New-
York Sun, John Temple Graves may be
appointed public service commissioner
for the Empire State. Here is the
story:
While Governor-elect Sulzer
would not, even by inference, ad
mit yesterday its truth, his most
intimate friends, after talking with
him, declared that it was his pur
pose to appoint John Temple Graves
public service commissioner to suc
ceed William R. Willcox when the
latter’s term expires on February
1. 1913.
Mr. Graves is one of the editorial
writers of William R. Hearst’s
newspapers. He was a foremost
Democrat in Georgia and edited a
number of Democratic papers in
that thoroughly Democratic state
before coming to New York city.
From 1896 onward he has been a
progressive Democrat and at times
was intimately associated with
YY flliam J. Bryar and Tom Watson,
of Georgia. Mr. Watson was the
candidate for president and vice
president at different times of the
Populist party. Mr. Sulzer and
.v“r. Graves always have been the
warmest of friends, politically and
socially.
