LATE CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
MAKES SUCH STATEMENT.
Mason City Man Says Reason He Was
Not Elected Was Because He Re-
fused to Wear Yoke.

statement issued by Judge Martin j.
Wade that all is peace and harmony
in the democratic party in Iowa, Ed
ward G. Dunn. defeated candidate for
governor, has issued statement in

the yoke of one man in Iowa in the
democratic party He uses no names
but intimates he was stabbed in the
back. He says that the fact that IS
members of the new congress of 400
congressman are Knights of Column
