In 1913 he became King's counsel (crown attorney) and in 1925 was appointed to the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia. He was also a stipendiary magistrate from 1906-1920. Graham was active in politics, serving as a town councillor in New Glasgow in 1898 and mayor from 1899–1900; he represented Pictou County as a Liberal in the House of Assembly between 1916–1925.
