 Richard H. Clarke of Mobile, we'll known in Alabama and some time mem Der of Congress, will enter the arena for one of the United States Senator ships He made the following state ment this afternoon.
 T shall be candidate before the people of Alabama at the Democratic primary to be held in in|August next for nomination for the Senatorial success sion.
 T shall not be a candidate against either Senator Morgan or Senator Pet tus, if they should both stand for re- election, as I have no doubt will be the case. My personal regard for each of them would in any event prevent that, and then I don't doubt that the great body of the Democrats of the State de- sire their reelection.
 If by any chance either one of them should not desire a renomination,. l shall then be candidate for the nom ination to succeed him. With both of them in the field for renomination, I shall be candidate for nomination to fill any vacancy that may occur in that high office. /"
