What Glenn Frank thought of Phil La Follette was, and has remained, his secret. Wiseacres gossiped that Phil was hurt when, after his defeat in 1932, Glenn Frank seemed to get along just as well with Democratic Governor Albert G. Schmedeman.

The way out of the maze is for him to resign, handing over the sceptre to a regent in trust for the Princess Elizabeth, daughter of the Duke of York and heir apparent. This dignified gesture would hurt the crown much less than the current hush-hush hocus pocus, and would allow all parties to breathe easier...
