Ounce of Old Blood Is Re-
moved to Relieve Pres
sure on the Brain
is RESTING WELL
Condition of Roy Frazier,
Also in Hospital Here,
Continues to Improve

A slight operation was performed
this morning by physicians to ease
pressure on the brain of A. G. Sorlie,
of Grand Forks, Nonpartisan League
candidate for Governor, who is suf-
fering in IA local hospital from a
fractured skull and other injuries
sustained in an automobile crash.
Following the operation it was sta
ted that the patient was resting
quietly, and his pulse and temper
ature are nearly normal.
The condition of Mr.. Sorlie con-
tinued to fluctuate at intervals since
ment was seen early last evening,
when n setback was suffered again
during the night. There was gen
orally more optimism felt about his
1ondition last night and today, how
ever, than at any time since the ac-
cident Saturday.
The bulletin issued by DR.. f. p.
Quain at the Bismarck Hospital at
il a. m. today said:
Mr.. Sorlie became more restless
again during the night. In view of
the continued symptoms of pressure
on the brain spinal puncture was
Wade this morning. One ounce Of
old blood which had escaped from
the fracture in the skull. was re-
moved. The patient is resting quiet
ly since the operation. Pulse and
temperature are nearly normal.
With respect to Roy Frazier, IN
in n ha
Quain said: Mr.. Frazier has inter-
mittent periods of severe headaches,
but his general condition continues
to improve.
No visitors have as yet been sd
mitted to the sick rooms. Many
floral bouquets have been received
at the hospital for the patients.
Hopeful Last Night
The condition of Mr., Sorlie wa S
such last night that Dr.. +. P Quain
in charge of the case, for the first
time yielded to anything akin to pre-
diction and indicated he was hopeful
Of Mr.. Sor!ie's condition, while he
felt that Mr.. Frazier's recovery was
probable in the absence of any unto
ward symptoms developing later.
"Mr. Sorlie is about the same as
earlier in the day" DR.. Quain said
at Z O'clock last night. "The fact
that he is not getting any worse and
the absence of any signs of increas-
ID fntracranial pressure is hopeful
condition. He has some new pains
but they are minor.
"Mr. Frazier is also about the
same, and improving more rapidly
than Mr.. Sorlie. I feel confident
that Mr.. Frazier will improve rapid
ly, and his recovery is probable
DR.. Quain reiterated his bulletin
Of earlier in the day when he said
What Mr.. Sorlie 'is somewhat i'm
proved" and added that "No special
measures have as yet been required
to overcome the intracranial pres
sure"
Denial was made by DR.. Quain of
reports that no operation was under
taken because Of the condition of
Mr.. Sorlie's heart. While he said
Mr.. Sorlie ''has a bad heart" the
operation had not been attempted be-
cause it was not necessary to take
special measure to relieve the brain
pressure.
Mrs. Sorlie, who has been an al
most constant companion of her hus-
band, felt much encouraged last
night, and left the hospital to dine
with friends.

WINS INDIANA

indianapolis, May 7.--(By the A.
P)-President COolidge's walk-a-way
victory over Senator Hiram Johnson
in the primary, giving him 33 votes
more in the national convention al
most faded from the sight of political
observers to-day with interest center
ed in the contest for, the Republican
contest for Governor, which acl mt
uated the Ku Klux kan issue.
Belated returns from the balloling
yesterday failed to change the early
standings. Ed Jackson, Secretary of
State, running with Ku klux Klan
support, has far-outstripped his five
opponents for the gubernatorial nom
ination and in doing so apparently
has gained a majority vote, making
his selection binding on the state
convention that meets late this
month. Jackson's closer opponent,
avowed opponent of the klan, was
many thousand behind.
In the Democratic contest, inter
est also centered in the nominee for
Governor and while DR.. Carleton
McCulloch, who headed the state
ticket in the last election led in the
eight contest it was soon aprar-
ent that he would fail of majority
vote, leaving the nomination to the
state convention to be held later tslia
month. McCulloch's closest OPPONENT
was Mayor George r. Durgan Of La
fayette, an anti-Plan candidate. No
votes were cast by the Democrats on
pres idential preference.
Not only did the Klan issue bob up
in the Governorship race but also IL
some of the Congressional contests
but likewise in the race for county
offices.
