VAN z|LE To SEEK
PLACE ON BENCH
After Much Urging By Friends Pros.
ecutor Decides To Become Candi-
date For Judge.

Prosecuting Attorney Philip t. Van
Zile will be a candidate for one OF the
Republican nominations for circuit
judge. The prosecutor enters the race
L. response TO the urgent request OF
hundreds OF citizens, who believe
that his record and his qualifications
entitle him to a place on the bench
and who want TO see him there for
the bench's sake. The announcement
will come as welcome news TO them.
For several weeks, Prosecutor Van
Zile has had the 1udgeship under
careful consideration. In spite OF the
persistent and determined requests
that he become a candidate. he hest
tated to do so because OF a feeling
that, inasmuch as the people had re-
elected him prosecutor last fall, he
was In duty bound to serve out his
term. His friends, however, argued
that his presence on the ticket would
add much strength to 1t and that IL
was duty he owed the party TO make
the run.
AS a matter OF fact, Mr.. Van Zile-
Judge Van Zile, rather, for he has al
ready had experience as a jurist In
Michigan-would be able to put in q
full year OF his second term as prose
cutor before assuming his duties as
Judge, IL elected. His stan Is well or
ganized and the work OF the Office is
being taken care OF with unusual
promptness. so that he would be In
excellent shape to turn the office over
TO some one else IL promoted to the
bench. That he is entitled to this
promotion is the belief Of the friends
who have finally induced him to try
for the place.
Judge Van Zile had fully made mp
his mind, Friday, not to run and wen.
so far as to write out a statement,
giving his reasons. Even as he wrote,
however, news OF his decision was
nojsed around and friends began
pouring in from all sides TO tell him
to "cut 1t out" After sleeping on
the proposition, he decided to let his
friends have their way. Just after he
had made the announcement, Satur-
day, a petition came in signed 10y
more than SO residents Of Ecorse and
River Rouge, urging him to run.
Judge Van Zile has practiced law
ia Detroit for the past 20 years. For
II lie has been dean of the faculty of
the Detroit College of Law, and has
done much to build up the school to
its present state of efficiency. He was
formerly Judge OF the fifth judicial
circuit, which comprised Eaton, Cal
houn and Barry counties. He resign
ed to become United States district
attorney in Utah at the personal re-
ouast IF President HAYES
