DR.. Frank died instantly. His
son. a reporter on the Wisconsin

few moments after he was brought
to st. Vincent's Hospital in Green
Bay. Stumpf suffered a neck in
jury and burns. but his condition
was not regarded as critical.
Sheriff Kellner said Stumpf told
him he was doing in the back seat
at the moment OF the accident, but
that he believed young Frank was
driving.
The sheriff disclosed that Dr.
Frank had been due in Green Bay
at 1880 o'clock last night, but that
he had telephoned Roger Minahan,
one of the men he was to see, that
he would be late because SOME
thing had gone wrong with his
autos headlamps. The accident oc-
Cured at $50 p. m.
Sheriff Kellner said that pending
a complete investigation, he did
not know whether the crash was
caused by another failure Of the
headlamps.
Nationally known as a brilliant
educator and journalist. and for his
part in framing the 1910 Republi-
can platform, DR.. Frank was killed
almost on the eve of Wisconsin
primary Tuesday, in which he was
a Republican candidate for the L.
s. Senate. He made his final cam
paign speech Sunday afternoon at

the University of Wisconsin in
1925. He was removed IL years
later, during the governorship of

foe of what he called "LaFollette-
ISM, and In his final campaign
talk Sunday pledged himself to
finish the fight which two years
ago resulted in the defeat at the
polls OF Gov. LaFollette and the
entire Progressive ticket.

end. During November Frederick
county had seven fatalities, with
six in Baltimore county.
But five counties had no fatalities
during the month. These are Mont
gomery, Talbot, Garrett, St. Mary's
and Caroline.
There were 9S6 persons injured
in traffic accidents in the State dur
ing November, 537 of them in Balti-
more and 500 in the counties.
The weekend fatalities sent the
States record of traffic deaths thus
far during the year to total OF sol.
It is the first time that the fatality
toll has gone beyond 500 since 1887.
To date in 1910 the death toll for
the city is 11S, for the counties 1888.
