Miss Knaak said she told the truth.
 If she had survived, plans had been completed for amputation of one foot, toes of the other foot and both hands which were prac- tically burned to the bone.

ADDRESS IN CUMBERLAND

ON HOOVER TRAIN, Cumber- land, Md. Nov. 2.-The basis Of progress fn th1s country must be it's continual prosperity, Herbert c. Hoover told an enthusiastis audience last night which greeted him here enroute to his Cali fornia home.
 Speaking in the public square near the station, MT. Hoover said prosperity, at the base, rests on there being a job for every man, that there shall be stable employ ment and advancing standards of living. It rests equally upon stable agriculture and industry.
 You will recollect that when the Republican Administration came into power seven and one half years ago, many millions, unemployed, walked the streets. Our people were discouraged and apprehensive of the future.
 "A series of constructive acts not only restored employment but has built standards of living and added to the security of every home.
 ''The Republican Party gives an administration which has pro- tected and upheld these results am confident the American people wish it continued.

EXTRAORDINARY ERA.
 AMERICAN POLITICAL
 HISTORY WEARS END
By BYRON PRICE GA. p. Staff Writer)

When the voters translate their decisions into ballots at Tuesdays election they will be passing judg- ment on one of the really extra ordinary chapters Of American po- litical history,
 Whether the verdict is for Hoo yer or for Smith, the year 1928 is likely to be memorable for req sons quite aside from the person. alities of the candidates and the issues for which they have stood. It has seen beth of the major part ies letting go the traditions of geo. graphical and industrial sectional ism, and groping for more se- cure footing; third partyism re- duced to it's lowest ebb in this political generation, and many of the ordinary customs of the years abrcgated altogether.
 It may be that the political stu- dent of the future will call 1928 the year of the militant minorities. Everywhere over the country new life has been imparted to mori- bund state and local organiza- tlons which in past years have been oyerawed by the hostile ma jorities about them, and have given up the struggle before it began This time there has been organized Democratic activity in nearly all of the heavily Republican states and an organized Republican cam paign in nearly every Democratic stronghold

Explosion Starts Flames, Quickly Enveloping
 Family Residence

Mrs. Harriett Conn, aged 24 years, well known Gastineau Channel woman, wife of John J. Conn, was burned to death this noon in a fire which practically destroyed the two-story frame building at the corner of Frank lin and Fourth Streets with all contents.
 Mrs. Conn was cleaning dress, with gasoline, at the time. There was an explosion and suddenly the room in which she was working on the first floor of the building. to the rear, caught on fire and within a short space of time the entire building, owing to light construction and paper ing, was a mass of flames.
 An alarm was turned in from Box 13 and the Fire Department, two blocks away, was on the ground in quick time. The fire had gained such headway it was impossible to go to the woman s rescue, even with gas masks on and it was some time before her body, burned to crisp, was brought out and taken across the street to the c. w.

By BYRON PRICE associated Press Staff Writer)


 The Presidential campaign is ending, as it began, with mighty currents of emotion at war be- meath the troubled surface.
 To many millions of Ameri- cans, Tuesdays election will be- come vastly more than a choice of men and parties.
 Throughout the whole country. new and surprising forces are on the march toward the ballot box.
 Turmoil Exists
 The stormy spirit of the times has found expression in the stir ring of racial and religious groups, confusion of class im- pulses and turmoil in party or ganizations and the return of the old time feryor of the political crusader
 Tossed on these closing days of the campaign, weeks of debate have produced no agreement as to paramount considerations that are to be solved by the voters.
 Each side denies that the other has defined its positions clearly; each denies the existence of is sues thrust forward by the other
 tumble of Issues
 Farm relief, Prohibition and all other issues are jumbTed together in a tangle of argument.
 One thing is fully apparent this has been campaign of self examination.

They fur. ther agree that no matter whC wins each party will have left al its disposal, for future use, a more truly national organization thar either has had for many years.
