ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR
U. 8. SENATOR FROM NEVADA

A. Grant Miller, who was the
Socialistic candidate for United States
Senator from Nevada on two occa-
sions In years gone by. but who left
that party early In the war because
OF its tendencies to oppose Americas
entrance into the world war, has in
formed Harry ]. Humphreys, chair
man Of the Republican State Central
Committee that he will seek the nomi-
nation for United States Senator on
the Republican ticket at the coming
primary election. In his formal an
nouncement Mr.. Millar says in part:
Il am particularly pleased with the
platform planks referring to labor
in which the party declares for the
right of collective bargaining, and
also with the straight-out SUFFRAGE
plank, as these are matters for which
1 have contended for years.
The outrageOusly high cost of liv-
ing is one of the most important ques-
tion of the time and touches every
citizen oppressively and the action OF
the party will certainly be forceful
and effective as against the wavering
neglect OF the present administration.
Much OF the enchanced cost to the con-
sumner has been absolutely unwar-
ranted by conditions, purely arbitrary,
and should be met with rigorous pros
ecution of the offenders.
while there was considerable SEN
timent In favor of the Wilson peace
pact last year. 1t is now clearly evil
dent that the great majority of the
people are strongly against 1t, having
come to the understanding of what it
would mean, and this reversal OF pub
lie opinion is due to the sturdy battle
waged by the Republican leaders, who
have opposed the unamerican and un-
wise charter of the League as proposed
by the President We are all for
the national rights and privileges for
yhich our fathers struggled against
such terrible odds and won at such
cost.
Il am very strongly in favor OF the
| repeal Of the mass of war time legis-
lation, the necessity of which, real
or apparent has now passed; much
| OF 1t being in derogation of the con-
stitutional rights, and l also believe
that the nation should substantially
recognize, not only as matter of
| national gratitude, but as matter of
justice its obligations to the millions
| OF men who were called ino the SER
vice during the war.
The terrific burden of taxation now
resting upon our people must be re-
Heyed as soon as possible and the
enormous expense of government
greatly reduced. AS everybody knows
l have always stood strongly for the
rights OF the woringman and work
ing woman, and for all measures in
ameliOration of social conditions and
hardships
Il believe most emphatically in the
enforcement Of all laws and that the
saloon Is an institution that should
never return in our social life, and
that the proper method of settling that
question and all questions incident
hereto Is by direct vote OF the whole
people.
IF nominated and elected Senator,
| shall devote my whole time and en-
ergy In carrying into effect the sound
and constructive program now pro-
posed by the Republican party and for
the development Of the great natural
resources of our state.
The entire situation of the nation,
both domestic and foreign, has come
to such pass under the misrule of
the present oligarchic administration
that the very safety of the Republic
as well as the peace and prosperity
of our people demands the overthrow
OF this administration and the return
to power of the Republican party with
its sane, constructive and forward
looking platform under the leadership
| OF Warren G.. Harding and Calvin
Coolidge, upon whose records, public
and private. there is not spot or
