...peasants, hundreds, then thousands, then tens of thousands from all over the countryside on a weird, terrifying, peaceful march to Bucharest (TIME, Mar. 26, 1928). Squatting and sleeping 60,000 strong in the streets of the Capital, the peasants demanded that the then No. 1 Oligarch, Prime Minister Vintila Bratianu, resign...

But what they had done gave Dr. Maniu the political potency to upset the Bratianu Cabinet in November, seize the Prime Ministry for himself (TIME, Nov. 12 & 19, 1928).

...Majesty well knows that King Carol knows that she helped to procure his exile, siding against him and with "her Disraeli" the late, great Prime Minister of Rumania Ion Bratianu (TIME, Jan. 18, 1926, et seg.). Naturally in Bucharest last week Ion's brother Vintila voted against proclamation of Carol as King (see above), but paradoxically Ion's son George Bratianu sided with Carol. After the vote George sought to call on his uncle Vintila who shouted wrathfully: "I am disgusted to see the son of Ion Bratianu acting as an errand boy for Carol. Get out of my house...
