DES MONIES June 1O.-(specisl. THE
new petition of consent law affecting sa-
looms and breweries has put a stop to the
erection of several projected brewerles in
Iowa cities. 1t was not discovered till
after the enactment Of the law last winter
that the law affected breweries. Agents
of the Liquor Dealers association were
present at the sessions. but failed to dis
cover the connection. One $2500OO concern
was projected in this city and the petition
of consent circulated and secured at great
expense. Now it will not be built. 1t was
discovered that the law requiring petitions
of consent to be circulated every FIVE years
affected breweries as we'll as saloons and
prospective investors in breweries now re-
fuse to place their money in expensive
plants the life of which may be terminated
at the end of five years by the refusal of
the people to, renew the consent. For
merly the time was unlimited. 1t seems
that the existence Of the law has not be-
come generally known as information is
had that several other prospective con-
Germs have been abandoned.
wade Not for Congress.
! In an interview given out last night Judge
Martin j. Wade Of Iowa City, recently
democratic congressman from the Second
]
congress against Dawson, the present re-
publican congressman. 1t has been taken
! for granted by democrats up to this time
| that Wade would again be In the field.
| The vote is close in the Second district
and the district is recognized as being
nominally democratic, Dawson being elected
last time by hard campaign work and
the strength of the republican national and
state ticket Secretary Miller of the demo-
| cratic state central committee of Waverly
recently stated that Wade could be nomi-
mated for governor IL he would accept, but
that he had decided to run for congress.
Judge Wade last night stated that he
would not run for congress. He refused
to discuss the question of running for gov
ernor himself. turning the discussion to
the question of a democratic candidate in
the abstract declaring that 1t all de-
pended on the nomination by the repub-
licans. The democratic state convention
will be held in Waterloo the week follow
ing the republican convention in this city.
