Bucharest, Rumania, June o.
R)-Free Of her wayward husband,
former Crown Prince Carol, Prin-
cess Helen intends to devote her
life to her adopted country and to
making q good king out of her six
year old SON, Michael.
Although the decree Of divorce
from Carol, whom she married in
1921, was absolute and she is free
to remarry she does not intend to
do so.
Princess Helen showed no signs of
exultation when informed that her
petition had been granted. She
seemed instead to be stricken with
sorrow at the position Of exile and
ostracism into which Carol had been
plunged since he eloped with Magda
Lupescu in 1925 she said:
II hope that now he will begin a
better life and will find the happi-
ness that he apparently failed to
find in me.
II can forgive, but never forget
the wrongs he did to me and my
child"

Candidates Sentiment

Houston, Texas, June 22.-tF-
The prohibition question has been
thrown squarely into the Demo-
cratic national convention here even
before the opening of the headquar-
ters Of Alfred E. Smith. It has
provoked an endless round Of dis
cussion as to the effect it may have
upon the conventions deliberations
and the New York governors can
didacy itself.
Although all along it has been a
smouldering issue, brought at times
to a flare Of flame, a series Of de-
velopments both here and in New
York state has served to center at
tention on the question at q time
when the Smith men particularly
were hoping to avoid any open rift
on the subject.
It was one Of Smiths foremost
supporters, Norman E. Mack, ma
tional committeeman from: New
York, who inadvertently opened up
anew the prohibition discussion.
Less than q week in advance Of the
gathering Of the national democ-
racy, he issued q statement in which
he declared that Governor Smith
was opposed to prohibition and
stood for temperance.
This was accepted in somc quar-
ters &s an expression Of the COVER
nor's own views and, while Mack
denied this, explaining that he
voiced only his own opinion, the dis
cussions had gathered headway with
full prospect that they would in

WITNESS IS THREATENED

Chicago, June 22.-(R-A new at
tempt was made with shotguns last
night to cripple the special grand
jury investigation into Chicago
crime.
Armed gangsters attempted to
break into the home Of James Huff,
negro, and kidnap him, thus silenc-
ing the chief witness againss John
ny Armondo, held for the Staying
on primary election day last Of
Octavius Granady, who was . can
didate for ward committeeman.
This new evidence Of terrorism
came = few hours after Frank j.
Loesch, chief prosecutor for the
special grand jury, had charged that
Chicago crime was rooted in high
places, and that police, prosecutors
and courts shared in the blame for
it.
Two men approached the Huff
home, but we're refused admittance.
They had started to force an en-
trance when the appearance Of three
men whom they mistook for detec-
tives caused them to flee. They
returned later bu: ran away when
they heard Huff call to his wifi to
hand him his revolver.
A police guard has BEEN placed
around the county building where
the investigation is under way.
This precaution was taken follow
ing an assault upon an agent of the
grand jury and IN attempt to rob
him Of important papers involving
contemplated prosecution.
Loesch, in his statement yester-
day, called for extreme measures,
urging that "gunmen be used to
fight gunmen" ii m effort - check
the slayings, kidnahngs and bomb
ings in recent months.

Williston, N. D., June 22.-Wil-

er taking off from the Fort Lincoln
flying field LANCER dropped down
from the clouds in Williston.
Thirty minutes later he was tell
ing an audience Of farmers in the
Williams county courthouse, many
Of whom had travelled so miles over
muddy roads to hear him, that there
is general misunderstanding regard
ing who will be governor OF North
Dakota If George F. Shafer is
nominated and elected.
He declared Shafer has . boss
and proved it by the record.
He named o. the man who will
actually direct the affairs Of this
state if Shafer wins the "Little EN-
peror Of Imperial Cass county, Mr..
L. L. Twichell."
His declaration was met by
demonstration from the crowd that
filled the Williams county court
house which clearly indicated that
it was Of the same opinion as
LANCER.
Appeals for Ticket

LANCER talked, appealing for the
success next Wednesday Of the en-
tire League state ticket. At z
o'clock this morning the telephone
was still jangling in his room At the
Great Northern hotel and friends
were congratulating him on the
most forceful speech made in this
campaign in Williams county.
Today he was delivering lie same
message he gave here to the voters
Of Mountrail and Ward counties in
meetings at Stanley and in rural
Ward county.
LANCER named three "isms" in
this campaign which he said are q
greater menace to its welfare than
ever the state industrial program
was. He defined them as "Twichell-
ism. Nestosism and Forumism."
His indictment was courteous, dis
passionate and from the facts as
they are written in the record of

Packed Hail Greets
ThOresen Exposition
Of Campaign Issues
Scores Twichelsm Before Audience Of Business Men and
Farmers-Ponts to Tax Reduction, Highway Depart
ment and Better Marketing Conditions AS Accom-
plshments of League Regime

T. H. Thoresen, Republican candi-
date for governor, spoke to a hall
packed with farmers and Bismarck
business men last evening. If the
applause and close attention are in
dicative, his logic impressed the
representative audience and con-
vinced the city folks that the League
candidate is not wild-eyed radical,
seeking to destroy, to wreck or to
ruin, but rather to suggest con-
structive program for the better
ment Of economic conditions in the
city as we'll as on the farm. In a
most graphic fashion, he linked the
interests Of the farmers and the
business men. Never before in Bis
marck from the mouth Of a League
candidate has there been such q con-
servative and clear exposition Of
what the general industrial program
seeks to accomplish.
Fallacy Of l. v. A. Program
He even found endorsement Of
his position in pamphlet recently
circulated by the forces Of Twichell-
ism in explanation Of the /. V. A.
platform. In this pamphlet the
hail department under the direction
Of s. A. Olsness is roundly COM
mended as is the work Of the Work.
mans Compensation Board, another
department dominated by the
League administration. He reiter-
ated the charge made Tuesday eve-
ming at Sterling that the Independ-
ents had purloined the platform Of
the League and sought to ride into
office through . most patent ruse.
Accomplishments Of Sorlie Regime
The accomplishments of the Sorlie
administration were praised by Mr..
Thoresen, and Gov. Sorlie was an
attentive listener to the entire ad-
dress. He showed how taxes had
been actually reduced during the
last four years. Touching on high
way development, he gave the fig;
ures indicating that practically all
highway development has been made
during the last four years, and that
North Dakota had not issued any
state road bonds, but, unlike Mime
sofa and other states, paid as roads
were built.
He paid his respects to Twichell-
ism IN much the same terms q he
used in hfs Tuesday address. Chal-
lenging Shafer's position on the
mill and elevator issue, he contended
that such stand was politically IL
logical and ridiculous, and on the
surface, at least, q complete COM

Chamber Of Commerce map as
proof.
There was a smile and . humor-
GUS infection Of the voice as the
term Socialism" was employed.
The crowd caught the point and
there was q hearty laugh.
Branch Bank Ghost
The branch bank issue was dis
cussed in brief. Mr.. Thoresen
quoted from the present law show
ing that the industrial commission
can now establish a bank system,
but he drove home for the benefit
of the business man who might be
terrorized by the campaign Of
ruin, bankruptcy and impaired
credit" originating in Independent
camps, by showing conclusively that
such. banks, If established, could only
make real estate loans and loan
money on elevator receipts-in fact.
there could be no competitive ex-
tension Of the banking structure
until the people through the legis-
lature had altered the present law
putting the state specifically into Z
general banking business.
Mislead Voters
He charged the Independents with
deliberately misleading the voters
Of the state on this issue. He con-
tended great sums Of money from
sources which have fattened upon
certain lines of business were beina
used to wreck the farmers program
He challenged Skater to tell the
voters Of the state why he refused
to second the motion Of Governor
Sorlie to purchase the seed bonds Of

ing in interest charges. These pur.
chases, he Indicated, could Be made
out Of the funds Of the Bank Of
North Dakota and at . great savins
to farmers Of the state. He CHARGED
that al the forces fattening on the
traffic in state securities are ops
posed to him and through their
allies are seeking Il necessary ia

To Protect Private Interests
