KLUTTZ LISTED FOR DEMOCRATIC RALLY IN PARK TONIGHT ii FATHERMAY PLEAD IN SONDEFENSE help the democrats in other quarters. Population groups of foreign antecedents are well up in the democratic list of sources of support.

Those groups are classified generally as Catholic and as of liberal views on yet it is agreed that no hard-and-fast line, can be drawn there. Of peculiar interest is the development below the Mason-Dixun line of a factor whose importance cannot be foretold. There the republican party has been at pains to disassociate itself from past negro domination, and many observers declare the negro has voluntarily quit that party to remain apart from the Ku Klux Klan, which lias been openly asserted to be working against Governor Smith. The situation undoubtedly has had its reaction north of Dixie where the negro vote is of importance, and wholesale shifts from the republican to the democratic party are looked for by Smith's managers. Intermingled with all these questions is the ever-present discussion of the protective tariff and ils bearing on prosperity, a discussion that is of particular import to the industrial regions.

Standing beside the tradi scene of earnest solicitation by air. Hoover's agents and has inspired democratic hopes of an unusual harvest. Mr. Hoover and Governor Smith have, themselves, talked fervidly to the farmers of their future welfare under the respective party -standards. Although both sides claim victory In that field, neither knows exactly how many votes will be changed on the farm Issue, and the same in-defimteness applies to prohibition and religion.

With Governor Smith hammering almost daily at the wet and dry question and some republican spokesmen contending it is not an issue, nevertheless, it is inevitable that thousands will have prohibition uppermost in their minds when they mark the ballot, and some will swerve from one party to the other because of it. Like prohibition, religion has marched us a factor not only through the solid democratic south, but also through republican sectors to contribute to unrest whose settlement on Tuesday will cut squarely across party boundaries, Just us both points arc expected to bring republicans Unucciistomed support in the south, so are they depended on to The Post, as Usual Will Provide Complete Election Returns Service Slay-at -homes mi election night will be served with fast ret urns liy The Tost through an elaborate system of special telephones and a battery of experienced oocrators who will give out returns.

The words didn't do it they did it," murmured shortly before she died today made of Alfrieda Knaak, the woman who confessed immolation by burning in a police station furnace, a greater mystery in death than she had been for three days while she fought for life In a Lake Forest hospital, Whether she was conscious of what she said or whether the words were intended to contradict the fantastic story to which the attractive book agent ami Sunday school teacher clung tenaciously for three days, those at her bedside had no way of knowing. Her words, however, sent Lake county authorities on a new search for others who might lie involved in her death, after they virtually had accepted her story, repeated many times since she was found Tuesday morning in the basement of the Lake Iiluff village hall nude and with arms and legs burned to the bone. in her statement to which she ad hered for three days, even when told ishe would die. Miss Knaak. a former 0r said she spent Monday night in the deserted village hall and at dawn Tuesday morning decided to burn herself In the basement furnace to prove her love and attain spiritual purity She said she removed and burned her clothing and then thrust legs and arms into the live coals.

The story at first was scoffed at by the authorities. Then, as it, was told over and over, tl" came to believe it for want of. other explanation. Shortly before dawn to-oay, however, from the swollen, cracked lips of the dying girl came a mumbled: "I wonder I wonder." "You wonder asked a nurse as relatives bent over her. "I wonder why they did it," muttered the girl.

2. AT'. The crash tional republican argument Niat that party alone desires and knows how to wield thj tariff weapon stands the democratic declaration of belief in the protection for the American workman, employer and consumer from foreign competition, and that the tariff is not an issue between the parties. There again is the uncertainty of the pulling power of arguments, with the rival managers contending that on the tariff and prosperity question alone, each party will acquire votes that normally go to the other. All of these conflicting factors have been catalogued and cross-indexed at political headquarters and even though the directors arc far apart in their estimates of the vote changing value of each, they have by lumping them all together arrived at a common assurance of victory.

The old heads to whom campaigning is a year-in-and-year-out occupation are wont to examine the future in the light of the present, but, being wise in the way of a fickle electorate, arc accepting no conclusions as definite. For i ho most part they fall in witii Ihe idea that it is better to dispose of 1 12S and let its successors take care of themselves. OF ENTIRE FAMILY Rejected Suitor's Body Found In Ruins of Home After Triple Murder Tht the Associated Press Santa Itosa, Nov. 2. Officers expressed belief today that jealousy and desire for revenge caused a rejected suitor to wipe out a family of three here this morning and then kill himself after setting fire to the family's dwellings.

An axe was used to kill C. J. P.er-lola, retired grocer and member of prominent and wealthy California family, and his wife and young daughter. Camille. The man who is supposed to have committed the murders and set the house afire was Charles lirakor, 45.

A body, identified as P.raker's, was found with two of the others in the embers of the destroyed dwelling. It had a bullet wound in the head. Uraker had a divorced wife and son here. Sheriff IM Dougles Pills said the man rented an automobile and drove to the P.ertola homo. The car was standing in front of the house when neighbors discovered the fire.

The theory is that liraker went to the tlertola home to settle matteis, and ended by slaying the family and then shooting himself.

JEALOUSY ATTRIBUTED CUE FOR Ml By D. FIELD RRITTLK Associated Press Staff Writer AS ELECTION day nears, It seems certain that, although the personalities of Herbert Hoover and Alfred E. Smith will be powerful factors in the winning and losing of votes, the issue will turn largely on the four pivots of farm relief, tariff, prohibition and religion. That lias been fairly definite since the beginning; what is not known and what the ballot markings will not reveal, is the relative importance of each. A greater degree of openness has been claimed for those who will vote for Hoover or Smith because of the tariff, prohibition and farm relief than for those who will decide because of religion.

Although there has been some outspoken opposition to Governor Smith because of his Catholicism, the democratic charge has been that many of those ho cite prohibition or something else as the basis of their dissention really mean religion; that party has charged also that a whispering campaign of intolerance has been used ugainst tlu-governor. There has been no disparaging; of the unrest in the farm belt. That normally republican stronghold is the EXPENDE POLITICALPARTIES Republicans Report Receipt of $823,251 More Than Democratic Group By the Associated Press Washington, Nov. 2. Approximately $9,000,000 has been received by the two major political parties during the presidential race of which $1,911,744 went to the republican committee and $1,088.113 to the democratic national committee, as shown in reports filed today with the house campaign funds committee.

ENDS IN SLAYiNGS BOARD 10 SOLVE Republican Nominee Declares St. Louis Promise Is His Final Word AGRICULTURAL NEEDS TO BE STUDIED BY EXPERTS Assures Voters He Will Support Efforts to Stabilize Basic Industry Bu the Associated Prest St. Louis, Nov. 2. A new in stitution in government, designed to care for agricultural, problems, present and future, was promised here tonight by Herbert Hoover in what he denominated as his final word to the American electorate on the is sues of this campaign.

The institution would be comprised of a federal farm board, he said, composed of men in sympathy with agriculture and clothed with the broadest powers to determine the facts, the causes and the remedies, which should be applied to the va-: rious problems affecting the basic! industry of the nation. This declaration, formed the focal point around which the republican presidential candidate built his prepared address. As a corollary to this formula for farm relief, he proposed adequate tariff protection to agricultural products and the speedy development of a great system of inland waterways, which would give cheap transportation outlets both by the Mississippi river and its laterals and the Great. Lukes through the St. Lawrence river.

"In addition to the tariff and cheaper waterway transportation in assistance to agriculture," Hoover said, "the republican party promises to go farther. It proposes to set up an institution which will be one of the most important institutions in our government, designed to meet not only the varied problems, which confront us today, but those which may arise in the future. "We propose to create a federal farm board composed of men of understanding and sympathy for the problems of agriculture; we prcpose this board should have power to determine the facts, the causes, the remedies which should be applied to each and every one of the multitude of problem which we mass under the general term 'the agricultural "The program further provides that the board shall have a broad authority to act and be authorized to assist In the further development of cooperative marketing; that it shall assist in the development of ade-(Continued on Page Three) TO SUPP0RT TICKET State Presidential Elector Nominees Reiterate Pledge of Party Adherence nil the Associate'! fress Tallahassee, Nov. 2 Reiterating I that they are "positively and un- equivocally" for the democratic ticket, both state and national, in the coming election, Robert ('.
