Storm Brews as Congress Moves on Klan Exile
New York reports that ante-Klan forces in New York state will press Senators Wadsworth and Copeland to push for the expulsion of Texas Senator Earle B. Mayfield over Klan ties. The Senate Elections Committee prepares to resume its probe while New York Republicans urge a strong stand against Mayfield to aid 1926 re-election plans. A non-political New Yorker committee funds the campaign against Mayfield, as Mayfield’s fate could affect Texas politics and Governor-elect Ma Ferguson's choice of successor.
