KNIGHTS RESENT ODIUM

Special Despatch to THE NEW YonK HERALD
ATLANTA, Nov All branches of
the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and
every member Of this organization are
commanded TO use all the influence
within their power to suppress opera
tions Of so-called might riders" and
to assist officers of the law in their
apprehension, in decree issued to-
day by Col. William J. Simmons. I'm
perial Wizard of the Knights of the
Ku Klux Klan.
In connection with the official de-
cree. Col. Simmons, In n separate
statement, calls the attention Of the
Klansmen to the fact that in some
on cotton gins and. In some instances,
threatening owners who do not close
them, is being laid on the Ku klux
Klan because the men who commit
these acts wear masks or robes some
what resembling the official regalia
Of the Klan. In this regard he says:
For two reasons II is especially i'm
portant that members of the Ku Klux
Klan do all in their power to assist
officers of the law to suppress the op-
erations of these night riders In the
first place. they are guilty of criminal
violation of law and II allowed 10 con-
tinue these Is no limit TO the extent
which this power of intimidation un-
der cover of darkness may be used.
ThA mt of ha Ktt ra
sworn TO uphold the law under any
and all circumstances and II is espe-
cially necessary at this critical time
that every law-abiding citizen dis
charge this duty without fear or favor.
I'm the second place. the operations
of these might riders are bringing
odium upon the Ku Klux Khan because
In some instances their criminal con-
duct is being laid at the door OF men,
bers of this organization. There Is. Of
course, no excuse for this outrageous
slander other than the fact that these
night riders clothe themselves IN gar
ments somewhat resembling tho official
regaiia of the knights of the Ku Klux
of which has been legally bestowed
upon this organization.
However. since these gin posters
and gin burners are being confused In
the minds of some persons with MEM
bers of this organization ~ behooves
every member to be particularly vigil
liant in exposing them TO the proper
authorities and thus assist in the sup
preston Of their activities so that re-
spectabie Iaw-abiding citizens may
conduct their own affairs as they see
ft. without let or hindrance. and go
about their business with the knowl-
edge that their lives and properties are
secure"

 His decision was made known in a telegram to Jouett Shouse, Democratic delegate at large from Kansas, who had telegraphed MT.

 Mir. McAdoo's telegram follows:
 "Your telegram of June IT requires an explicit and immediate answer. I am profoundly grateful to you and to my other generous friends who, with such spontaneity and unselfishness have without my solicitation advocat- ed my nomination. To cause them dis appointment distresses me deeply, but I am unable to reconsider the position have consistently maintained, name ly, that would not seek the nomina- ton for the presidency. I cannot, therefore, permit my name to go be- fore the convention. This decision is irrevocable, as the path of duty seems to me clear and unmistakable.
