STATE CAPITAL QUESTION.
Is Judge Martin J. Wade Eligible to
Become Congressman?

The question has arisen at the state
capital whether or not Governor Cum.
minis will be warranted in signing the
certificate of Judge Martin j. Wade, the
recently elected congressman from the
Second district. 1t is claimed that
Judge Wade, having been a member of
the district bench at the time of his
election, is not eligible under the consti-
tuition of the state of Iowa to become a
member of the lower house of congress.
The state constitution declares clearly
that judge OF the district court shall
not be eligible to any other Office during
the tenure of the judgeship. The con-
stitution of the United States, however,
contains a provision to the effect that
congress shall be the sole judge of who
shall or shall not be its members.
Judge Wade's friends say that the
word ''eligibe" is used in the state con.
stitution in it's technical sense. They
admit that if the judges term of office
as congressman commenced before his
term on tie bench expired there would
be serious question as to bis eligibility
| for the position. AS matter of fact,
however, Judge Wade will not be judge
of the district court after the first of the
year, and his term of Office as congress
man does not commence until the
! March following. Between January and
March it is claimed Judge Wade i.
clearly eligible for congress.
Should Governor Cummins be inclined
to interfere IN the matter it is claimed
that he would have q perfect right IL
refuse to sign the certificate until aftel
Judge Wade's term of Office as Judge ex
pred. After that time there appears tt
be no question that the governor could

Iquestion exactly similar 10 that under

in Pottawastamie county, was elected to

election was contested on the ground
that at the time OF his election he still

Congress passed ON the question and
Judge Smith was allowed 70 assume hia
seat.

for congress from this district. At chat

tested against Judge Prouty becoming a
candidate while be occupied his position
on the bench. Judge Prouty went TO
the trouble to look up the Law on the
subject and cited the case of Judge
|Smith to sustain his position-Capital.
{
Governor Cummins said yesterday he
would issue the certificate of election to
Judge M. j. Wade, of Iowa City, at the
same time he issues the certificates to
the other members of congress. In speak.
ing of the matter, Governor Cummins
said certain parties had filed objections
with him to the issue of certificate of
election to Judge Wade. He felt the OBJ
Ijections were without sound basis, but
he had consulted with Attorney General
Mullan, he said, and the attorney gen.
eral gave him written opinion in which
he held the certificate should be issued.
Governor Cummins says there are two
imperative reasons in hls'own mind why
the certificate should be issued to Judge
Wade. In the first place, under his in.
terpretation Of the constitution, he does
mot consider Judge Wade ineligible to
election as member Of congress because
be holds district judseship, the time
OF which will expire before he enters on
his term ss congressman. In the second
place, the governor holds the house Of
representatives is the judge Of the quail.

not for the governor to interfere. "Even
III I believed Judge Wade ineligible"
