Siddons Named to Succeed Justice Wright in District Court
Ratification of the present Commission by Senate is confidently expected after Attorney General Gregory recommended Commissioner Siddons for the District Supreme Court seat to replace Dana Thew Wright whose resignation takes effect November 15. The President sent the nomination after a White House conference with the Attorney General, who believes confirmation will occur soon to address the congested docket and postwar retirements. Siddons, born 1864 in London, has had a lengthy legal career, and his nomination follows Gregory's favorable recommendation and prior support from the President. In parallel, Louis Brownlow was set for District Commissioner, with Siddons’ confirmation anticipated but possibly delayed by Senate inquiry into the single tax advocacy noted in administration discussions.
