Limits on Judges Age and Corporate Ties Hit Fourth District
Attorney General McReynolds imposed a sixty year age limit for federal judges and barred candidates linked to large corporations or railroads. A Maryland Virginia delegation to President Wilson, led by Senator John Walter Smith and Rep. J. F. C. Talbott, urged E. C. Deveeman for the Fourth Circuit but the rule largely narrows the field. The visit followed Wilson’s White House meeting and touches on the vacancy created by Nathan Goff’s resignation. Smith pledged support for Wilson policies.
