ARTHUR G. SMITH, Lawyer. Arriving in Honolulu in November, 1910, to engage in 
the practise of law, Arthur G. Smith in less than eight years rose to high 
public office as attorney general of the Territory of Hawaii. He is now senior 
member of the law firm of Smith & Wild.
  Immediately following his arrival here, Mr. Smith became affiliated with the 
firm of Kinney, Prosser & Anderson, but soon resigned this connection to 
accept an appointment as deputy attorney general. He was made attorney general 
in April, 1918, retiring from the office after five months, when he entered 
into a partnership with E. C. Peters, now chief justice of the Supreme Court, 
an association which continued until April, 1921, when the present firm of 
Smith & Wild was formed.
  Born on Jan. 3, 1882, at Tenant’s Harbor, Maine, Mr. Smith is the son of 
James M. and Annie (Seavey) Smith. He received his education at Coburn 
Classical Institute, Waterville, Maine, later attending Colby College at 
Waterville. He entered Harvard in 1904, was graduated in 1905 and received his 
law degree there in 1908, practicing two years in Boston, Mass., before coming 
to Hawaii.
  Mr. Smith and Helen Chase Fessenden were married in Boston, April 28, 1910.
  Mr. Smith is chancellor of the Episcopal Church, and is a member of the Oahu 
Country, Outrigger Canoe and University clubs and the Zeta Psi fraternity.
