VAN ZILE DENIES CHARGING
CROOKEDNESS TO FARRELL
Didn't Intimate That Election Returns
Were Manipulated in County
Clerks Office,

Prosecutor Philip T. Van Zile is
sued a statement, repudiating what
purported TO be an interview with him
In an afternoon newspaper, Wednes-
day. The paper represented that he
intimated there was a manipulation
OF the election returns in the county
clerks Office. TO his disadvantage In
connection with the close race be-
tween him and Judge Donovan for
circuit court Judge. In his statement
the prosecutor says In part:
II desire to say that the published
interview is not correct and | am
very sorry the reporter who talked
TO me in my Office has seen fit TO so
color and enlarge on what was said
TO put into his paper In large head
lines that | charged that returns in
the county clerks office are crooked.
or should state In the body OF the
article. the prosecutor is under the
impression that some manipulating
has been done in the county clerk s
Office.
This was not my talk nor the spirit
OF my talk. l have not charged the
county clerk with being crooked in
his returns, nor have |, nor do |
charge him witm manipulating the re-
turns. What | did say and what |
was trying to find out from the re-
porter was, II he knew, how there
should be such great change from
the results OF the adding machine
brought me In the morning from the
clerks Office, showing my majority to
be 3l2, and In the evening OF the
same day, reported by the clerk $
office, showing a majority OF % for
my opponent. a change OF 1886 votes. "
County Clerk Thomas +. Farrell.
Immediately after the publication OF
the interview attributed to Mr. Van
Zile, demanded that the prosecutor
apologize or start an action against
him and his assistants who handled
the returns. The assistants later
made affidavit 10 the effect that Mr..
Farrell in no way handled the returns,
and that the election figures given TO
the newspapers were exactly the same
as those turned in by the members OF
the precinct boards

One Of the reasons that news
papers do not get all the general
advertising that really belongs
to them is the jealousy and
knocking" done by newspaper
representatives who do not hap
pen to get the first copy put out
by a new advertiser.
In a big city not long ago a
concern wanted to try out news
paper advertising. They selected
an agent who knew his business,
and after some discussion de-
cided to use ONE newspaper.
This newspaper was selected
because they wanted to reach
the members of the clubs in that
city, and they knew that this
newspaper was read by them.
1t was the managers inten-
tion to spend about $4,000 in this
newspaper, and he had an idea
he would be able to show his as
sociates sufficient returns to JUS
tify EXTENDING THE CAM
PAIGN and using some other
newspapers.

few times, and the representa-
tives of the other newspapers in
