ROSS CLARK.

Ross Clarke, who is a candidate for
the Republican nomination for clerk
OF the District court, is we'll known
attorney of this city. Mr.. Clarke has
always taken an active interest in pub
lie affairs and in local politics; he is
public speaker of much ability and
for many years has been on the staff
OF Republican campaign speakers. He
is member of the Chamber of Com
merce and of the Commercial Club and
other public organizations. Mr.. Clark
has always been a consistent friend of
the cOlored race. He is a firm believ-
er in a greater and better destiny for
the black man and has ever been
ready to lend a helping hand to any,
thing looking to that end. Mr. Clarke
although he has helped many others to
get Office, has never. before sought Of
fee for himself. Mr.. Clarke is we'll
qualified to fill the office of clerk of
Courts. He. is strenuously opposed
to a third term for any but judicial
and legislative Offices. On the sub
ject Of third term he says: Il
"E. G.. Rogers has held the office of
clerk for two terms Of four years each,
making eight years he has served. He
is now asking for third term. If he
should be nominated and elected, he
would be in the Office twelve years.
This is longer time than any one
ought to hold the Office. I take this
view of the matter, viz: That is it
not fair to the rest of the voters to
give any man three terms of big
county office. l will say that would,
under no circumstances, stand for a
| third term, and l favor a law making
the limit two years. There is strong
sentiment in county against a third
term. This was shown a short time
ago in the case of Chapel, for
third term for sheriff, who met a
| disastrous defeat at the election sole
| ly because the voters were op-
posed to- third term. Sullivan
who wanted to be County Auditor for
a third term, was also beaten. Our
recent state convention would not
| sanction a third term for the Office of
Clerk of the Supreme Court. do not
believe that any one can be elected for
| third term to one of the large coun-
| ty Offices in this county. zs1.z-~
IF I. should, be elected. Clerk. I will
! make no charge for naturalization pa
pers, nor for pension papers"
