Arthur Garnet Graves who had served as Commissioner prior to the election spent much of the campaign denying rumors he owned shares of businesses in the city and an estate in England. [3] At nomination day, the Calgary Daily Herald editorial board supported Graves candidacy for Commissioner owing to his experience in the role and Riley's lack of civic experience. [4]
