KLANSMEN WON'T
Be TIED To ANY
SLATE OR CLIQUE
Members Will Vote as They
Please Tuesday, Herald
Announces in Regular
Edition Today.
(By The Assoclated Press,


MuSkOGEE. Okla.-The biggest sen.
sation that the present political cam.
paign has brought, broke here Monday
with the publication of the Oklahoma
Herald, official organ of the ku Klux
klan, the state, carrying a front page
editorial which denounces the effort
Of certain state officials of the Klan to
force the vote Of klansmen for pre-.
fered list Of candidates sent out from
Oklahoma City.
The Oklahoma Herald, brands as
"maliciously false" reports that the
klan will vote for preferred list OF
candidates, said TO have originated from
the Oklahoma City realm, in the pr.
mary election tomorrow.
The Herald says: "The people o.
Oklahoma will judge for themselves
whether the Klan stands for principles
or mere Klannishness. Enemies of the
order have spread poisonous rumors
That one OF the highest officials in the
Realm has undertaken to force the
nomination of u personal friend TO
whom he is obligated professional,
and the Klan is the weajon TO be used
These enemies have caused the belief
IN many quarters thai the Klan viii
vote as a unit under the dictation OF
officials. The Herald brands such pro.
paganda as false. The intelligen,
klansmen throughout Oklahoma are
hot so easily deceived. Many Klansmen
VIII support men who seek office but
not for the sole and only reason that
they are klansmen. A candidate who
parades himself as member, but
whose business or office IS honey.
combed with employees whose allegiance
Is beyond American authority, need nor
hope for klan support. whether he
seeks the high office OF governor, or the
modest place of road supervisor.
Let it be kiiowN definitely tina,
Klansmen are not bound to the support
70 any slate. They are not to be led
like so many cattle TO the polls for the
discharge W personal obligations ack.
nowledged by other Klansmen. A
klansman is an American first and one
of his proudest attributes Is independ
ence, IL will therefore be perfectly
plain that the genuine American will
exercise his personal judgment"
This official statement, comink as
Il does. after the publication OF what is
said to be n Klan preferential list OF
states and congressional candidates Is
taken to mean that any slate previously
made has been smashed and that the
members OF the klan all over the state
will vote as they please in Tuesday
primary. As the Klan is credited with
having $4,000 votes and has been an
enigmati the political situation fol-
many months, this official notice is re
garded as having cleared the atmos
phcre considerably and probably dis
arranged the plans of many a candi
date.

AID
ASKED. BY
INDIANS
Chief Deskaheh, Of Six Nations,
Also Calls on Other ENJOYS.
Split With Canada.

Diplomatic Washington today is
recovering from tour Of embas
sizes and legations made yesterday
by Chief Deskaheh. an Iroquois
sachem. In behalf of the sovereign.
ty Of the Six Nations of Grand
River, Canada.
The chief asked the Dutch embas.
sy to bring the cause Of the tribe
before Queen Wilhelmina for sub
mission to the League Of Nations.
Other embassies were requested by
the chief to support the plea when
1t finally comes before the league.
The Six Nations of Grand River
occupying a strip of land twelve
by six miles, on the Canadian side
OF Lake Erie, insist that they owe
no allegiance to Canada or Great
Britain. on the grounds of an an.
cient treaty made with King George
III. :,
This question has long been in
dispute In Canada. and was recent.
ly put up for arbitration. During
the procedure, Canadian troops
marched into the territory of the
Six Nations. The Indians, number.
ing a scant 5000, resented the In,
trusion, and placed their affairs in
the hands Of Chief Deskaheh.
The chief remembered the tribal
stories of an old frienship existing
between the Six Nations and the
early Dutch settlers Of the Erie
region.
Queen wilhelmina of the Neither.
lands seemed to be the logical per.
son to whom the appeal should be
made. The details were arranged be.
tween the chief and George p.
Decker. attorney for the tribe, OF
Rochester, N. Y.
The two came to Washington yes.
terday and laid their case before the
officials Of the Dutch embassy for
transmission to their Queen. Chief
Deskaheh made plain that the men
Of the tribe. sensitive Of their rights.
were on the verge of war.
Following his visit to the Dutch
embassy, he and Mr.. Decker went to
others. At each Of these places the
chief spoke ominously of the trouble
afflicting the Six Nations.
THE Iroquois warriors are lying
low" said he. Ito give their sachems
one more chance to effect q peaceful
settlement. What may come IL the
sachems fail, do not know"
The chief left Washington last
night for the tribal territory.
