to 1905, and from 1911 until the
present time. The present Carter
has been anxious to retire at the
end of the present term, but political
friends and allies insisted that he
should run. At first, Mrs. Harrison
strenuously objected and the mayor
announced that he would not again
be a candidate without her consent.

and Carter entered the fight for re-
nomination. But at the primaries
Yesterday he failed of favorable con-
sideration and of course will not be
a candidate at the election in March
He was defeated by Robt. M. SWEET
ger, at present the popular clerk of
Cook County.
