SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 16, 1915 PAUL KUNKEL NOT COUNTED OUT BY COURT So Says Dr. Clark, One of the Officials in the Contest Dr. W. P. Clark, presiding at a big Republican rally in Dauphin last even ing, took a hard fall out of Paul A. Kunkel's ciiarge that he had been counted out four years ago when the Dauphin'Cbunty Court decided Michael E. Stroup and not he had been elected district attorney. "As deputy prothonotary I sat throughout the count made by the Dauphin County Court and I know it was a fair count and I know that it shewed that Stroup and not Kunkel was elected," said Dr. Clark. Kunkel has been using the contest cf four years ago between himself and Stroup for the purpose of making campaign capital for himself this year and has implied in his literature that the count was not fair. Dr. Clark said that as deputy pro thonotary he had always found Stroup a capable proaecutor and perfectly tain In all his dealings. _ Mr. Stroup himself attacked the Kunkel allegations. repeating the declaration he made the night pre vious in Harrisburg that Kunkel in de ciaring he had been "counted out" and had been "soaked for the costs" did not injure Stroup, but did very seriously reflect on the honesty and integrity of the oauphtn County Court. Mr. Stroup made a very strong reply also to Kunkel's contention that Stroup should not be given a second term. "For the past thirty-one years at least," said he. "and I know not for how much longer, you people of Dau phin county have been accustomed to give your district attorneys two terms. I have made a record In the office that even my opponents are compelled to commend. They have not one criti cism to offer against it. Why, then, should I be made an exception to the second term precedent?"
