HA[L AND KLAN
SUED BY ALLEGED
ILLEGAL VOTER

portland, Or, Aug. 14.-Fifty-
,wo thousand five hundred dol
,ars is the amount which Thomas
7 Garland, a well known attor-
nov of Portland, demands in a suit
t,lod in the circuit court Saturday
against Charles Hall, r. r. Coster
and the Ku Klux Klan, "a polit-
teal copartnership," according to
tho wording Of the complaint.
Garland asks for $4,000 gen
oral and $500 exemplary dam
opes from the defendants on the
ground that he has been DETAINED
and deprived of the confidence
and esteem of his neighbors,
friends and clients and the public
by reason of the charge in the
Hall recount suit that he ballotted
Illegally and that "the voters are
not residents of the state or are
aliens and not entitled to vote"
and the publication in Portland
newspapers OF the statements made.
in the Hall suit.
"The plaintiff considers his
right of suffrage as the greatest
privilege he possesses" says the
complaint, "and 10 say that he
'balloted illegally or is AN alien
and not entitled to yote,' is the
most humiliating accusation that
could be placed against him as an
American citizen
Garland's complaint says the X.
K. X. is a secret organization that
has not fled any articles of in
coropration IN Oregon, and asks
permission of the court to insert
the names of the copartnership
and members thereof as defend
ants in this action when they may
be ascertained by him.
The suit is filed in persons
propria," meaning that Garland |
will appear as his own attorney.
