H' / 'W z ' Z ' A yy' ~ - "'(femctts Arthur) According to reports that have trickled through responsible political channels, King Alexander, of Jugoslavia, is weary of sitting on a throne, a target for the criticism of his discontented subjects. Since he suspended the constitution in 1929 and proclaimed himself a virtual dictator, Alexander's life has been anything but a bed of roses. Many attempts have been made to assassinate the monarch since he ascended the throne, and his life is said to have been made still more unhappy by domestic troubles with his queen, the former Princess Mariana, of Roumania, sister of King Carol. The report further states that a deputation of Jugoslavian parliamentarians is even now in London to offer the throne to Prince Arthur, of Connaught, son of the Duke of Connaught and cousin of King George V. of England Prince Arthur is forty-nine. He served with distinction in the World War as an officer in the Scots Greys, and after the war was sent to South Africa as Governor General of the Union. If he should accept the crown of Jugoslavia, his wife, Princess Arthur, would automatically become a queen. But before the prince can make any decision, he must have the consent of King George. Alexander's downfall is said to have been due to his failure to keep his promise 'hat he would grant the nation a liberal and democratic constitution. His opponents charge that though he has apparently abandoned the dictatorship, he still dominates the Jugoslavian Parliament.

LONDON, Eng.—Though it is no longer news when a European throne topples and scatters a roy-il family all over the face of the earth, it is distinctly unusual when one hears of a King . voluntarily offering his crown to another. It is still more remarkable when the other happens to be a foreigner and not even a remote blood relative of the monarch. Such, however, is the situation in Jugoslavia, if rumors that have seeped through responsible political channels can be believed. King Alexander, who has ruled the land of the Croats, (Serbs and Slovenes as dictator and King since the new Kingdom of Jugoslavia came into being, is said lo be weary of the never-ending strain of trying to please all the different factions in his Kingdom and would be glad to exchange his luxurious throne for a good, hard bleacher bench at a ball game. Furthermore. It is authoritatively stated in London that a deputation of Jugoslavian parliamentarians is even now- in the Englfsh capital to offer Alexander’s throne to Prince Arthur, of Connaught, son of the Duke of Connaught and cousin of King George V of England. From the same source of information it was learned that King Alexander has seen the handwriting on the wall and has put bj a neat little nest egg against the rainy day when he will be demoted to plain mister. He has transferred his private fortune of close to $30,000,090 to London, in case of eventualities. The trouble that promises to put King Alexander among the army of throtielessjnonarclis is th" re-

It must be under stood that Jugoslavia is peopled by ! three tribes. Croats, Serbs and , Slovenes. each anything but J friendly toward the other. . Alexander undertook to wipe out )i the dividing lines between those ■' tribes and bring them all under ) one bead — Jugoslavs. Rut he , I might as well have tried putting a , tiger, a lion and a bull moose in , one cage ami labeling them love-, , birds. They just refused to behave , under a dictator. .1 There have beeti many attempts , on the life of King Alexander by , his discontented subjects, and sev- .' oral times since he ascended the throne he has had narrow escapes from death. Recently he aban- , doned the dictatorship ar I pro;n- , ised that he would grant the na lion'a liberal and democratic con i stitution. But his opponents declare he has not kept that promise, charging that the Jugoslavian Parliament is still dominated from ,' the throne. It wasn't had enough .1 to have his State troubles keep--11 Ing him awake nights, 'out it i - > whispered in court circles that 11 Alexander is also having domestic . i difficulties with his queen, who jiwa- Princess Mariana, of Roufl mania, sister to King Carol. ! Therefore, it is not at all surprising that the harassed monuri li ’would welcoftie a chance to shift .(the crown and all the burdens that go with it on to another head. Prince Arthur, of Connaught.

After the war he went to h Africa as j Governor General of the Union.' In the event of his accepting the Jugoslavian offer, his wife, Princess Arthur, would automatically become a queen.

Strength of the wet vote in the party as revealed in the primary, is virtually certain to precipitate a bitter battle In the state convention over the question of inserting a wet plank in the party's state platform. Evidence of the force behind the wet vote was seen clearly in the sixth and fourth districts. In the former, the anti prohibition element iln Vigo and Vermillion counties combined lo force the retirement ' of Courtland Gillen. Incumbent who voted against the Beck-Linthicum resolution. In the fourth district a record vote was cast to nominate James 1. Farley, wet candidate, who ! was runner-up for the nomination In 1930. The liberal Democrats a'so re-
