Klan officials estimated that over 10,000KliftSniert iff dm the northern part of the state were present at the after-fidbft and evening meetings. Everything was orderly, there being no tracfi Of disturbances from the Klan ranks or those of the opposition. The speech of the evening was delivered by a masterful oratorin stentorian voice. His true nameh6t revealed, he being termed as Johnson,, of Texas, but to close observers the fact that lw bore a stfljdng resemblance to Dr. H, W. Evans, the imperial wizard of the klan, the supreme ruler of that body led many to believe that it was Dr. BvAne himself. In the course of his speech he referred to himself as“Doctor” and his close associates addressed Him in the same manner. The speech was purely one. of ideal -Americanism and though there was stated opposition to certain existing conditions, the speaker emphatically assured the gathering that the Klan was not fighting the negroOs. was not opposed to Bo-man Catholics as individuals and hoa opposed to Jews as such, but insisted that certain practices of theirs wfcre In conflict with true American principles and that tl\e Klan’s aimwaa to set them to the right withoutdestroying their liberties, but releasing them from certain bonds that keep them from gpeat liberty and from being better citizens.The speaker declared that therewere well over ten millions Ivlans-men and women in the United Statesand that 30,000 ~ct~ theirwere preachers. He said that the accusation of violence were greatly misrepresented and that such deeds of vileness were against Klan principles which were in the main i embodied In the tenets of the Christian church.His bitterest attacks were directed at the press, which he declared was controlled by the opposition interests and afraid to print the truth about the Klan. He asked why it was that the press failed to recount that the Klan was doing daily deeds of philanthropy and restoring t*ie power of the church and the Biblical teachings, where thousands were brought back into the churches of God through their affiliation with the Klan after they had become derelict in their Christian duty. He sAid that, on that very night in millions of American homes the dusty and tinused Bible was taken out and read daily to a family circle and that the family Christian altar, once so prminent in1 the early American home was being restored after years of absence and decline. He said that this alone was well worth mention.He bitterly flayed the people whodo not go to church and said that though the Klan was opposed to the political influence said to be extorted by the pope and the 11011100 heir-arch y, he would have to “hand it to” the Catholics for their faithfulness in the church attendance. He .scoffed at the Protestant denominations which were said to be split apart On the petty differences where there should lie one united Christian church.Kurt her than practice of Christ inn religion he said the Klan aimed to hold the corstintKm inviolate and free from the influence and warping of ngignrly politicians who at will corrupt the government for personal gain. He said that through the Klan, the American people would soon he one united nation and that they would restore the government to the people, free from any v'.o-minion other than that of the principles embodied in the constitution and the Christian religion. He said Americans aro not obe.srving their duty In not taking a stand against corruption and urged that in the elections every voter vote, and vote for candidates who will guaranteeerr-promo rather than st ffcr the jeopardy of the unscrupulous.He said that the klan was not opposed to negroes and was supporting f two schools for negroes in the south, j believing that they could be better-t ed by education. He decried parochial schools he said that they were under the influence of the heirarehy of Homo rather than the constitution and that they would not permit an open Bible in the schools, lie said the Klan aimed to establish daily Bible reading in very school in the United States and have the American flag fly from the mast atcp every school in the country.He opposed Jews in that he said they had their organization and wore fighting Christianity. He said the Klan believed Christ a Divine being and that the Jews missed much of American ideals by not adhering to Christian, teachings.He said Klansmen were not the scum, but were the cream of the earth. “Could ten million people be misled? No.” ho shouted. He asked how many believed in Americanism as he outlined it. and practically everyone assented in the affirmative,[f this Signatureis NOT on the Box Jit is NOT“There is no other BROMO QUININE ”1Proven Safe for more than a Quarter and effective remedy for Colds, GripPreventive.of a Century as a quickand Influenza, and as aHere’s Another New CometHere H a now cumot.
