The usual procedure in naming: a judge follows a policy of having the General Assembly name a candidate, if the Genet'll Assembly is in session at the time the Vacancy occurs. At other intervals, the Governor names the new judge, with later approval by the Assembly.
Rappahannock's Commonwealth Attorney is the youngest of the three candidates for the judgeship. Rayner V. Snead, 35, is ten years younger than Attorney Bain of Fauquier, and lo years younger than Attorney Phillips of Loudoun.
R. V. Snead is the only one of the three candidates holding the office of Commonwealth Attorney, Bain, of. Warrenton, having been defeated in the election for that office.
It is understood that Delegate D. French Slaughter and Senators Curry Carter and Raymond Guest have expressed their interest in Mr. Snead's being named judge.
Were R. V. Snead to receive the appointment, as judge he would name his successor to fill his unexpired term as Commonwealth Attorney in the county. Six lawyers would qualify: F. Clyde Baggarly, George H. Davis, Jr., James W. Fletcher, Alfred M. Hickman, William F. Moffett, Jri, and John W. Price, Jr.
