DEFENDS KU KLUX KHAN
Rev. P. C. Fletcher Says Organization
 Can Exert Powerful Influence.

Little Rock, Feb. 27.-A strong de- tense of the Ku Klux Klan was pre- sented last night by the Rev. Philip Cone Fletcher from the pulpit of the First Methodist Church, Eighth and Center streets, in his sermon on eff I Were a Member of the Ku Klux Klan. 7"
 "The Klan has a noble mission" :" said the Rev. MT. Fletcher, "and has not come into being a minute too soon. I can see how if can exert q mighty influence. I am told that the klan stands for law and order and upholds the dignity of the law. I am told that the real purposes of the or ganlzatlon is to see that every com- munity has as few undesirable citi- zens as possible and as many desir- able citizens as possible"
 In the beginning of his discourse the Rev. MT. Fletcher said he had no first hand information concerning the Ku Klux Klan, and declared that the sermon was an assumption" based upon information which he had ob- tained from the newspapers. He read several newspaper clippings showing the strength of the organization. q am told," he said, that the Klan is composed of the leading citizens of the communities where it exists"
 The minister declared that if he were member of the Ku Klux Klan, he would, unqualifiedly stand for white supremacy, but that he would be in favor of the protection of the negro. He read figures of population increases which tend to show that world supremacy of the white race is being threatened.
 The Rev. MT. Fletcher answered several objections which he said he had heard made of the Klan. To the criticisms which he said had been made that there was no need for such oAA OA5e]AAAoIAOA, VI CAC pe&oIOA OCSAoA Cu that "that was probably what Emma Goldman and other anarchists would say" To the charge that the Klan is a secret organization, he declared that many other organizations, including the church, the home and lodges, are, in degree, secret bodies.
 Other principles which the minist- CT declared he would advocate if he were member of the Ku Klux Klan were good citizenship, deportation oi anarchists, Christianity and the pro. lection of women. 'I am told" hs said, that the Klan has a way o dealing with men who offer insults to women"

MANY ARE WILLING
 TO ACCEPT OFFICES
Will Be No Dearth of Candi dates in State Primary
 Next Year.

Little Rock, Feb. 27.-If present indications carry through 1922 will be an interesting political year for Ar kansas. Ordinarily, political gossip does not begin to crystalize into actu- al announcements until later. The primary still is six months distant, but there is much industrious groom ing up and down stable row." and several entrants already have been made formally
 The past week brought forth two political andidatcs-neither of whom made formal amour cement-who had not been the subject of political gossip before. A. A. Allen of Bigelow son of former county judge and .her- l lii John 0. Allen of Perry county will be a candidate for nomination as state treasurer, he says; and Sam Crawford of Fl Dorado is currently rumored as candidate for state com l missioner of mines, manufactures and agriculture. MT. Crawford is an Ar Kansas guardsman of long standing and now holds commission as major in the guard.
 Ferguson a Candidate. I Jim G. Ferguson, present commits sioner, will be a candidate for re- (election, and State Senator Robert Collins of Drew county also is an a. vowed candidate for the nomination. Joe Ferguson, state treasurer, will be opposed not only by MT. Allen, but by A. J. Walls of Torberlin, Lonoke county, and it is also said that Ernest Tlpton of Little Rock, defeated in the last primary by MT. Ferguson. intends making the race again.
 B. P. Toney of Lake Village will be candidate for governor, opposing Gcvernor McRae, who will offer for re-election. Former State Senator D. 'E. Alexander of Blytheville, who will manage the Toncy campaign, was here yesterday in conference with po- |litif al friends,sand it is said that he Twill open Toney headquarters here in |April. \
 T J. L. Bond, superintendent oi nub- Fllc instruction, will retire from public life at the close of his present term. A. $. Hill, state supervisor of high schools and former president of the Arkansas Educational Association,
 has been endorsed by the superin- tendent of schools of Conway, and D.
 IL. Paisley, superintendent of schools
 of Hope, and formerly of North Little IRock, also are mentioned as possible candidates.
 Attorney General J. S. Utley, State Auditor James; Guy Tucker and Ira c.
 Hopper, secretary of state, probably Twill have no opposition for second
 terms, nor is it likely that Associate
 Justice J. c. Hart, who is up for re-
 election this year, be opposed.
 Wilson May Have Opposition.
 Herbert R. Wilson, state highway commissioner, will be a candidate for
 reelection, and so far there has been
 no definite announcement of an op-
 position candidate. Political wise- acres, however, have voiced the opin- ion that the unamicable relations ex- isting between the McRae administra- tion and the Highway Department may result ih opposition to MT. Will son, and it also is Said that the High way Department may again be at tackled in the 1923 legislature as it was last year when administration legislators sought to have it abolished as an entity and attached to the Ag- ricultural Department.

WAKEFIELD, Mass. Sept g.

Lot, dry weather is badly needed now in
sections that have been so wet lately to

no INJURY, have occurred in northern low
lands, says the weekly crop report Of the
agricultural statisticians. Referring to
the various crops the report says:
Corn, though generally backward in
most places, made rapid growth where
conditions were at all fayora bic. but on
the whole 1t is a poor crop, including
sweet corn for canning Oats in north
ern Maine are a big crop and being har-
vested in good condition, but elsewhere
the crop is poor to fair. due to so much
ram and wind. Many sections have cut
their oats for hay because they were
blown down badly.

Unit Power Plant Adopted.

The introduction of the unit power
plant in the latest Franklin, by main
tanning perfect alignment between en-
CINE. clutch, and transmission, pre-
vents strains and consequent irregu-
larities, the result being apparent in
even engine performance and quiet
operation of the transmission gears.
The standard S. A. Z. shift has also
been employed in the gear box and an
adjustment has been put on the clutch
pedal. BY means of a Yale lock on
the transmission, it is now possible to
lock open cars either in neutral or in
reverse position. Door locks are used
to secure the enclosed cars.
Quiet operation of the two-unit
lighting and starting system. North
East equipment, is coupled also with
quiet starter engagement secured by
the Bendix drive operating on a steel
gear on the fiywheel. Previous Frank
Inns have employed Il single unit cleo
tFical system.

A Device for Cleaning Air.

\ novel arrangement introduced in
the latest Franklin il an air cleaner by
which dust is removed from all the
air that enters the carburetor. This
device Is of self-acting centrifugal
type employing the same principle as
a cream separator. Air is drawn in
through the top and Il whirling action
of the vanes inside. set<up by suction,
throws all dirt particles out through
Il separate passage This instrument
delivers air which is practically 100
per cent pure and win have the effect
of eliminating much of the wear
caused in the average motor by the
mixture of dirt and oil which acts as
an abrasive.

Carburetor Controls Simple.

Cold weather starting, according to
Franklin experiments, can be readily
effected with the new motor at tenn
peratures as low as 20 degrees below
zero. For this purpose Franklin en-
ploys the same type Of electric vapor-
izer as heretofore, but with several
refinements. The control of carbur-
etor adjustments has been greatly sim
plified, as pressure of a magnetic but
ton operates both the Choke and Va
porizer, and a T-handle regulates the
needle valve.

Double Flywheel Effect.

The double flywheel effect contrib
uung further to the counteracting of
vibration, results from the mounting
OF the Sirocco Fan at the front end
and the hywheel at the rear end of tbe
crankshaft. The crankshaft ifseIf

last year by the Franklin COMPANY.

larger diameter than heretofore II i

Each MANS Rinhta Limited.

Every man must work out his own
salvation, but in doing so must recog-
nize that millions of other men are do
ing the same thing and have rights as
well as he. Therefore, what he does
must not unnecessarily interfere with
what they are doing.

fabrication.

Chassis fabrication of the latest
Franklin is by the BOwen-Empress
system by means of which either oil
or grease as required is forced into
the connection under high pressure.
There are only five grease connections
on the entire car, including universal
joints, and oil used for lubricating
purposes as other points. Manipula-
ton of the plunger in the oil gun
builds up the desired amount of pres
sure and when the nipple of the gun
is attached to the point to be oiled,
the pressure is automatically re
leased, resulting in flow of lubricant
which fiushes all old oil or grease and
grit out of the bearings and replacing
it with a fresh clean supply.
Brake Efficiency Increased.
While Franklin brakes have always
had a reputation for efficiency, vari-
Gus improvements have been made
which have increased the effectiveness
of the service brake - per cent and
that of the emergency brake is per
cent.

AIirro-TiIt Lights.

From the standpoint of night driv-
ing, the AIirro-Tilt lights on the
Franklin are interesting. Pressure
on button on the toe-board makes it
possible for the rays to be projected Il
considerable distance ahead of normal
position, 50 that the roadway is given
ample illumination, especially under
conditions of fast travel Upon APP
proach of car from the opposite
direction, release of the button re
stores the rays to normal.
An item of convenience is the gear
ing of the tire pump to an idler in the
transmission, engagement of which
can be made by turning the shifter
shaft by means of a screw driver. The
tube is constantly attached to the
pump and is coiled under the left
front seat

Duralamin for Connecting Rods

Certain factors contributing to
smoothness and quietness of operation
have been perfected. among which the
use of Duralamin for connecting rods
is an innovation. This new material

weight of corresponding steel parts.
makes possible considerable tighten
ing of reciprocating parts, succeeding
thereby in reducing vibration. In the
same connection. it is worthy of note
that Franklin engineers were also
first to introduce the use of the alumni

for light inspiring weight, have been
made standard equipment on Series
10 in the form of the Rubsam wheel

gineers. leaves easy riding qualities
