Will Prevent Much Sickness

These enervating days are fraught
with danger to people whose systems
are poorly sustained. This leads the
makers of Hoods SarsaparilIa to say,
the interest of the less robust,
that the full effect of this good old
family medicine justifes calling it,
not only a blood-purif1er but also a
tonic. It is sustaining. It gives
strength, aids digestion, promotes re-
freshing sleep, and will prevent much
sickness at this time of year.
Hoods Pills, which are gentle and
thorough, may be taken with it, IN
cases where there is need of cath
artic or laxative.

Portland Mayor
Not in Field for
Fifth Nomination

Portland, Me-. Oct 3.-Mayor
Charles 3. Clarke will not be a can
didate for denomination in the prima-
ries preliminary to the municipal cleo
ton
He has discussed this matter with
will retire at the completion of his
present term, the fourth consecutive
year as the chief executive of the city.
Mayor Clarke was a councilman from
Ward Seven two years, president Of
that body his second year, served two
years in the board of aldermen and
then became mayor. He has been in
the city government in these three
capacities eight years in all.
Primaries will be held in about six
weeks au4 his announcement today
clarifies the situation in some degree.
The statement follows:
Il have been asked many times if I
were again to be candidate for
mayor. I have been asked many times
to again be a candidate for mayor. I
am not inclined to do so. Under our
system of government there is never
any demand for mans services; tina
demand has to be artificially created
on the street corners The labor Of
creating that demand the newspaper
criticism and the personalities involv
ed, are all alike distasteful to me.
During the four years that l have
been in office l have done what I
thought was for the best interests Of
! the city. 1 have kept the tax rate in
these times much lower than the aver
age; ] have not tolerated lawlcssness;
have been always available and I
have given ear to all of our citizens.
like the work and I am willing to be
of service. but I will not fight for the
opportunity to do so.
AS to the future, there is thu to be
said: Our charter should be revised
not necessarily discarded. No govern
ment ought TO be so defective in its
organization as not to contain within
itself the means of correction of its
faults, but whenever hostility to the
existing system becomes universal. it
will be also irresistible. The people
make the charter, the people can I'M
make it, and it lives only by their will
Not only do I believe in a revision
of our present charter. but I believe
that our mayor should be given more
power and that he should be held re-
sronsible for the results Of his adj
ministration. l believe that we should
have a police commission. and I be-
lieve in an equalization of the valua-
tion of the city, and in realignment
Of the different wards.
II would be willing to attempt all
this but people say that I have been
! in office long enough. and so I am per-
fectly willing to retire. with all the
gratitude in the world for those who
have supported me. and a heartfelt dc
sire to be of service to my successor
and to the city of Portland
