The careers of Herbert Hoover ly alike—and stranely dissimilar. der age; each fought his own way to fame with little aid; each mas- tered his opportunities, rose to every occasion, climbed the ladder of success by his own efforts. The orphaned Hoover came aH by @ route that brought him a college education, a world-wide reputation as a mining engineer and wealth al- most beyond the dreams of avarice. The orphaned Curtis struggled his ~ Way from an Indian reservation through a career as a jockey, a hack-driver, a self-educated lawyer, a county prosecutor, a congressman and a senator of slender means. Curtis has spent almost a life- time in politics; the first and only office that Hoover ever ran for was that of president. ‘ see The curtain rose on the life of Herbert Clark Hoover in a clapboard cabin on a scrawny farm in rurai Towa on Aug. 10, 1874. His father— & qpowerful bear of a man—was TeNe Hoover, a farmer, who also ran a blacksmith shop at the village of West Branch. Both of his parents were devout Quakers, sober of mein and stern of speech, Before young Hoover was 10 years old both his father and his mother had died. For a time he lived with) », relatives on a nearby farm and then, when he was 10, an uncle took him to Oregon. There young Hoover worked in his uncle’s real estate of- fice, for the Oregon land boom was on, éd by the tales of a roving mining prospector who chanced that way when he was entering young meghiont Hoover decided to become a mining engineer. His savings were small, but Leland Stanford University was. just opening down in California so he went tnere and worked his way through. He waited on tables, collected laundry for fel- low students, managed a college ly- ceum bureau and did almost any- thing else that would earn an honest penny. eee After graduation Hoover worked as a day laborer in California mines to gain experience and then went to work in the office of Louis Janin, a famous mining engineer. Janin rec- ommended him to a London firm of mining engineers and, in 1897, the latter sent him to Australia to take charZe of its gold mines there. A couple of years later, on one of his brief trips to the United States he married Miss Lou Henry, who had been a classmate at Leland Stanford. They were the first and only sweethearts each ever had. Entering business for himself, Hoover began developing mining properties in China, India, Burma and other far-away lands. Fortune smiled on his enterprises and he became a man gf tremendous wealth. The outbreak of the World War found Hoover at his office in London. The story of his career from that day on is too well known to need repetition in detail here. Briefly, it isthe story of a who organized the Belgian Comiiission that fed eight million homeless souls through weary years of war, that spent $17,000,000 a month, employed 50,000 workers, op- erated its own ships, flew its own and issued its own passports. riefly, it is the story of the man whom President Wilson called home in 1917 to become food adminis- trator of the United States—who imposed “Meatless Tuesdays,” ius lief heatless Wednesdays” on a free|pes Fre and, what is more, made them ike it. It is the story of a man who, in the trying days just after the war, cont famine in devastated Eu- rope’ by seeding whole nations and spent more an $600,000,000 for supplies at an overhead cost of less than lf of one per cent. «% is the story a man whom President Coolidge called to take charge of relief operations in the Mississippi valley in the spring of 1927, when 600,000 were home- less by floods. It is the story of a man, who, as - secretary of commerce, American industry many millions by standardization of manufacture and other economies. His constructive achievements stand out as among the greatest ever by one man in all his- , but even more the career of [set i jin the gift of the American le. It is a story without Ory | that is possible only in a £ and opportunity prevail—a story that is in keeping with the parallel, a story of triumph land where freedom, equality finest of ee and Charles Curtis have been strange- ‘h was an orphan boy, bereft of both mother and father at a ten- Sees Se one day in 1868, a band of marauding Cheyennes had not at- tacked the reservation of the friendly Kaws. * . Young Curtis, then eight years old, was a fast rider and could speak both English and Indian, so the be- leaguered Kaws chose him to gallop to the cavalry post at Topeka for help. He slipped through the Chey- ennes’ lines and summoned the sol- diers, who chased the raiders Curtis didn’t go back to the In- dians. Instead, he made his home with hi er’s people for a time and then became a jockey, ig at Kansas race tracks before he was 10. When increasing weight finally ended his days as a jockey, he sold candy and peanuts around the rail- road station at Topeka and later worked in a livery stable. Next, he got a job driving a hack. Tt was while he was a hack driver that Curtis studied law, often read- ing his lawbooks by the light of the oil lamps on his cab as he waited for fares. A sympathetic lawyer finally took the youth into his office. At 21, Curtis was admitted to the vr and at 25 (in 1885) he got his irst political job when he was elected as a county prosecutor. In 1892 he was elected to Congress and served seven terms. In 1907 he was elected to the senate, in 1912 he was beaten but in 1914 he was re-elected has since served there. named Republican floor leader upo' the death of Senator Henry Cabot . | Lodge of Massachusetts. eee Such is the story of the two or- phans, Herbert Hoover and Charles Curtis, who have struggled their way upward through lean ant bitter years to the two highest offices that the nation can bestow. It is an epic of personal achieve- ment, proof of the real opportunity that beckons to the young men of every generation in a land where all men are born equal; it is thoroughly, in accord with the’ finest traditions of America. Thus the barefoot son of the Iowa blacksmith and the part-Indian boy who spent his early days on an In- dian reservation as a government ward will become president and vice resident of the United States next KENTUCKY GOES HOOVER-CURTS Democrats Sustain Greatest Defeat in Republican Poll Stampede Louisville, Ky., Nov. 7.—(AP)— Crushed by a stampede of Republi- can votes, the Democratic party in Kentucky suffered its greatest de- feat at the ‘polls in the 1 election gestern, for not only did the voters accord the Hoover-Curtis ticket a majority estimated at 160,- 000, but yielded six seats in the house of representatives. Early today, with only 300 boxes in the state yet to be tal ted, it ap- ared certain that the party. which been a predominant, factor in the political life of the .common- wealth since the civil war, had suf- fered a complete loss.

North Carolina went over to the Hoover column this morning with nearly two-thirds of the state tab- ulated.

SBLF IN SPELL Anonymous Letter Confession Says Miss Knaak Was Hypnotized Lake Bluff, Ill., Nov. 71—(AP)— An anonymous letter from a \man who confessed causing the death of Miss Elfrieda Knaak by hypnotizing her into sacrificing herself in a fur- nace was under investigation today by State’s Attorney A. V. Smith o: Lake County, * ‘rhe statc’s attorney said the let- ter was written by a man who claimed to be a deep student of oc- cult mysticism and was remarkabie for its apparent rationality, com- position and evident intelligence of its writer who signed himself in cryptic symbols as A-OS-WON AREN. ‘the letter said the writer had hypnotized Mi-s Knaak and led her to burning herself in order to burn from’ her mind the memory of Charles Hitchcock, Lake Bluft ,po- licéman, actor and teacher for whom the girl maintained a secret love. The author said he had thought the flames would burn only the memory and when the blaze in reality seared the flesh to the bore he fled from the basement of the Lake Bluff city hail where he was conducting his experiment and where the giri was found, fatally burned. The message was post-marked from Chicago and an effort is be- ing made to trace its origin. Miss Knaak, before she died from the burns, told of burning herself to eay her love and faith for Hitch- cock, SOLDIER DEAD REMEMBERED Burleigh County Marking 16 Graves of World War Vet- erans in Bismarck Burleigh county will not forget soldiers who lost their lives in the World War, it is shown by action being taken by Burleigh county of- ficials and the federal government. Stone markers, giving the name,| age and record of the soldier, will be placed at the grave of each sol- dier who gave his life for his coun- try in the war. Although the graves will not be marked until spring, practically all ony work will be completed y Armistice Day, according to E.| J. Gobel, Burleigh county coroner, who is Eoin, & with Captain’ Herman Brocopp, Mary Cashel, of the Red Cross association, and the federal government in the work. Applications have been’ received from the families of many. of the veterans who lost their lives in the: World war, Gobel said, and these’ are being checked over as quickly, as possible as that orders for the markers can be made. The only specification is that the official dis- charge from service papers must be| sent in to officials. Approximately 16 graves which are in Fairview and St. Mary’s cem- eteries, Bismarck, will be marked next spring, Gobel said. Orders’ for many of the stones have been sent in but the‘markers will be placed in a warehouse until work- ers are able to take them to the cemeteries. Besides the orders already placed, twelve applications have been made| for markers, Gobel said. They are for: the graves of Leonard M. Sather, Arthur M.
