Washington, March 7.—Senator N.
B. Dial this afternoon announced his
candidacy to succeed himself in the
United States Senate, issuing in con
nection with this an address to hia
constitutents. In it he gave a review
of vital matters connected with his
an account in part of his
tried to serve all the citizenship of
die state. He tells of his committee
appointments and of the work he is
called upon to do as a member of the
Senate.
In full Senator Dial’s statement
of his candidacy reads:
"To my constituents:
“Six years ago you honored me
with your votes by electing me to
the United States Senate, the great-
various government departments,
have made it a rule to answer every
communication the day It readied me,
provided I could obtain the informa
tion, keeping my office open, not only
during the session of Congress, but
continually during the recess; this

aha ioF e:
any business we had with the govern
ment. I have been present regularly
at the sessions of the Senate, min
ing but few roll calls, on occasion#
of alight illness or when visiting
home on imperative business.
“I am on some of the most im-
porant committees in the Senate, and
have attended meetings most faith
fully. Being on the Commerce Com
mittee, I have always guarded the

everything in our power to have the
government render the best assistance,

of our wounded and disabled soldiers.
M Among many activities in behelf
of our section I recall with partic
ular pleasure the stubborn and suc
cessful fight I made in preventing
the Fuel Administrator from divert
ing coal from the South to the North
and West, thereby keeping our mills
and other industries In operation, and
saving many from being thrown out

manding enforcement of the prohi
bition laws.
“I have advocated selective and re
strictive immigration, which is neces
sary to safeguard America from the
riff-raff of the world.
“I do not fall out with people who
are Republicans from principle, but
with great energy I have fought their
monopoly, extravagance, inefficiency
and corruption wherever found, and
better, and understand what I advo
cate, I am confident that I can serve
them with increasing efficiency. Per
haps it is not fbr me to say how I
stand with my colleagues, but 1 crave
investigation.
“I realize that it would be unrea
sonable to expect all of my consti
tuents to agree with me upon all of
my votes and activities, but the just
way of judging a legislator is on his
general average. This session of
Congress being one so critical in our
history, I feel that duty demands my
presence here, but at the proper time
I am ready, willing and anxious to
give an account of my stewardship.
I have been gratified at the many of
fers of support, and if you, my con-
i deaerrsa
appreciate your returning me. Look-
iip? forward with pleasure to meeting
many of you personally this summer,
I am, yours very truly,

my family to Washington in order

I to my public duties. Since then I
hove not even taken a vacation.

I have endeavored to pass safe and
sane legislation for the benefit of all
the people, constantly keeping in view
the cause of employes, laborers and
farmers, ana yet being fair to all in

every, legitimate enterprise toward
prosperity. At the same time I have

When Civil Service examinations have

“I have several bills pending, which
if enacted, will be of inestimable
benefit to the country at large, and
particularly to our section, the most
important of which is my proposed
amendment to the Cotton Future
Contract law, which would be of
greater value to cotton growers than
all other remedial legislation com
