= Wade Will Get Certificate.
Objections have been filed with the gov
ernor to the issue Of the certificate of
election Of. Judge M. j. Wade Of Iowa
City, who was recently elected to con-
gress from the. second district on the
democratic ticket. The claim made is
that. inasmuch as Judge Wade was hold
ing the office of district judge when he
was elected, he cannot lawfully be grant
ed an election certificate anu his election
| is void.
Governor Cummins said to-day Judge
Wade would be given his certificate at the
same time as the other members of con-
gress from this state. He holds in the
first place, Judge Wade is not ineligible
under the constitution of Iowa. and in the
second place, that, as the house of rc-75-
sentatives is the judge of the qualifica-
tons of it's own members under the con.
stitution of the United States, it is not In
the province of the governor to interfere
He conferred with Attorney General Null
Ian on the subject and Mr.. Mullan advised
the issue of Judge Wade's certificate.
