Nan Lies, He Declares, Who Says
RGines's Job Is Result of Deal.

Controller Mctz said last night that any mar
who asserted that the appointment of Charles T
Raines of Senator John Raines auditor
in his Office the result OF political DEAL was
a-stranger to the truth.
His statement was prompted by the remark made
by President Parsons Of the Republican County
Committee that when Charles T. Raines's name
was taken off the Tammany payrolls Senator
Ranes would be IN position to show his sincerity
for honest elections in this city
The history of the appointment Of young Mr.
Ranes is follows" said the Controller yester-
day In 1908. after making plans for an over
hauling OF the bookkeeping system in the Finance
Department, I obtained after a hard fight. author
ity to appoint personally ten auditors Of accounts
exempt from the Civil Service.
Clarence V c. Van Deusen not then an auditor
OF accounts. but since appointed by me. helped me
very materially at Albany in getting the necessary
authority TO make the appointments In recogni-
ton OF his services decided to appoint two Repub-
hoans. The other eight TO have been divided
equally between the Brooklyn and New York Dem
ocratc organizations.
Certain influential gentlemen in Tammany Hall
at about that time brought about the appointment
helping Borough President Coler. told Alderman
Sullivan that II Tammany going TO effect the
appointment Of Color in Brooklyn they
wouldn't get any favors from me, and that would
not give Tammany the four auditors. Therefore
appointed all eight from Brooklyn. Van Deusen
and Raines were the Republicans.
Il am not sure who brought Mr.. Raines to my
Office. II may have been Mr. Van Deusen himself.
