MINING MAN IS ChNDIDATEFOh
 J. [. SENATOR
w. R. Ramsdell Will Enter Democratic Primaries
 From Tucson

TUCSON, April 10.-W R. Rams dell, local mining man and resident of this city for several years, yesterday announced his candidacy Tor the United States senate in the Demo cratic primaries. It has been rumored for some months that Ramsdell would enter, the primary but not until the last few days was it certain that he would make the race.
 Ramsdell makes his formal an nouncement in the form of letter to the Democratic State Committee. He makes many recommendations and outlines his stand on various ques- tions. He states, at the conclusion of his announcement, that If he does not compare favorably with other candi- dates" he will withdraw from the race.
 His announcement follows:
 Tucson, Arizona, April 9, 1920. To the Democratic State Committee,
 Phoenix, Arizona .. Gentlemen:
 Had there been at this time as standard bearer, a progressive Demo crat of distinguished service and pre- eminent ability, I should not have en. tered the senatorial fight, for l be- lieve that political propriety should outweigh personal ambition. How ever, events are imperious, and condi- tions militant, and political exigency should outweigh precedent,
 Scrutinizing the political horizon today, we find the farmer over ex- plotted by middle men, labor being submitted to legal tyranny, and indus trial oppression and a patient and patriotic public being plundered by conscienceless profiteering. Pleasing platitudes are not constructive, and conservative party leaders may delay but can not long evade party disaster.
 The following conditions make i'm perative demand for constructive remedies; the war made more than 15,000 millionaires; 65 percent of our people constituting the great upbuild- ing energies of the nation own but percent of its wealth; 72 percent of our people live in rented homes middle men have doubled in twenty years, and now every sixteen faTmeI,o provide living for one eXploiter of their farm products, Profiteering has plundered tie American people of bill lions oI dollars since the armistice; and is now reducing the American standard of living in millions ol homes.
 These alarming statistics could be continued to greater length. To the thoughtful man, the above should be convincing argument that construc . tive remedies are desperately needed and that delays are dangerous. | The following covers briefly, the principles and policies believe in, anu which I shall discuss more fully from the platform during the campaign. l. 1 am in favor of the League O. | Nations, under such interpretive res ervations that congress shall still D' the arbiter of all domestic question: and that our international duties shal not violate American traditions O liberty and justice, and the ultimate self determination of all peoples an; nations.
