He was a Delegate from Wicomico County to the House of
Delegates at the 1920 session of the General Assembly and
from 1925 to 1932 was City Solicitor for the City of Salis-
bury. He served as a member of the State Tax Survey Com-
mission appointed in 1931 by Governor Ritchie pursuant to
a joint resolution of the General Assembly, and in 1932 as
a member of the State Banking Commission appointed by
Governor Ritchie to review the State Banking Laws and
Regulations. Mr. Miles was Chairman of the State Demo-
cratic Campaign Committee during the Gubernatorial and
Congressional campaign of 1934 and was elected Treasurer
