W. Doan of Fairfield has withdrawn from the democratic gubernatorial race it'would appear that State Senator Edward Breen will have clear sailing to the mountains.However, it is known that neither of Iowa’s senators is entirely satisfied with the setup and it is not unlikely that two or three more candidates may onter the race before April 24 deadline. Who they will be is another question but the talk-candidates still are Ex-Governor Nelson G. Kras-chel, Ex-Treasurer Leo J. Wegman, Ex-Congressman Fred Biermann, or State Senator Lester S. Gillette, who is now a candidate for congress but might be persuaded to become a gubernatorial candidate.Of these it would appear that Gillette or Wegman is the most likely to take action. Biermann has said on several occasions that he is not interested while Krasohel has declared himself “neither in nor out” but has practically cooked, it is fairly generally agreed, what small amount of goose he had left in criticising GovernorGoorim A.
