GOV. HENRY ]. ALLEN
OF KANSAS, FLAYS
THE KU KLUX kLAN
preston News Service)

GREAT BEND. Kans., Nov IL
"One pistol shot could produce a state
of civil war in Kansas similar to that
in Ireland" declared Governor Henry
J. Allen in a statement last Thursday
in his fight against the Ku Klux Klan,
during the course of political speech
here.
His speech was part of a series of
political speeches in his prediction
campaign. He took a fling at religious
bigotry and community hatred Voic-
ing opposition to the khan, not only
because of its attitude toward some
community questions, but also because
of the manner its activities are said
to be carried out. He said in part:
Gas a fellow American having the
same impulses that you have, am op-
posed to the khan because it suggests
terrorism and outlawry, and by use
of disguise, men having a desire to re-
venge themselves, go out and say We
will go out and thrash that fellow Il
am not against the khan because it
does not like the Catholic Church.
am not Catholic. l am a Methodist
and S2nd degree Mason and Knight
Templar. belong to all these organ
izations. l belong to everything, ex-
cept the Knights of Columbus and
the Ku Klux Khan"
After draying comparison between
the conditions in Kansas and those in
Ireland, and telling of requests his Of
flee had received from men to be al
lowed to defend themselves, because
they were frightened, the Governor
asked, do you want turned loose in
this state the horrors of civil war?
God forbid such a war, and yet what
can you suggest to the Negroes of the
state, in some communities of which
there are thousands, when the old Ku
Klux Klan that terrified them fifty
years ago is riding again at night?
Can you expect them not to take any
means whatever to protect them
selves?
ireland is fighting over a quarrel
that is 800 years old, but we curbed it
in America when we wrote the consti-
tuition that all men should have the
right to worship God according to
their own ideas"

CHICAGOANS FORCE
RESIGNATION OF
KU KLUX BANKER
Especial to The Tribune)

! CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 1.-THE Ku
Klux Klan is on the run for good and
fair. Augustus E. Olson, President
of the Washington Park National
Bank of this city, was forced to re-
sign as the executive head of that in
stitution because it was discovered
that he was member in good stand
ing in the Klan. Tolerance, an anti
Klan periodical, was the immediate
cause of Mr.. Olson's resignation. No
one appears to be in position to di-
vulge in just what manner the anti
sheet came into possession of the facts
of his connection with the 100 per
cent American organization. The ex-
President, however, came clean. as
the saying goes, and acknowledged
his relationship but contended that he
had been '1ured" into doing so by
misstatements of the character and
true purposes of the organization.
When the first reports of Olson's
man SOuuOCIAOAS CdLu0 10 llSuI, SllSuL
attention was given it by the bank
officials. Later developments, though
compelled their attention. What
amounted to a run was being made on
the bank. Up to this time long lines
Of depositors was the order of the
average business day Matters began
to take on new appearance. With
drawals' began to take more than an
appreciable place of deposits In
quiries as to the reasons revealed that
they were the protests of clients
against the Klan activities of the
President Of the bank. Then it was
that the officials woke up and de-
manded President Olson's resignation.
His lure" defense failed to move the
directors and there was nothing left
for him to do but comply with what
actually amounted to a demand for
severance of his official relations with
the institution of which he had been
the honored head for longer than a
year

Especial to The Tribune)

LAWRENCE, Kans., Nov 1.-THE
community has just recently learned
of the marriage of Miss Sarah Rector,
reputed to be the richest colored girl
in America, and Kenneth Campbell,
crack high school athlete and winner
of a scholarship to Lincoln Univer--
sity.
Miss Rector will be remembered as
being among the first of the colored
Oklahomta oil land owners. Her trans
formation from a poor farm girl to a
possessor of great wealth has sur
rounded her name with romance.

in getting her fortune out of the hands

Miss Rector moved north.
Mr. and Mrs. Campbell will make
their home at their beautiful resi-
dence at Lawrence, Kansas.

RACE COOPERATION
NECESSARY TO PASS
dyer BILL, AYERS
preston News servicel

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 17-Speak-
ing before an audience that taxed the
seating capacity of Ebenezer Baptist
church, of which the Rev. Junius C.
Austin is pastor, Dr. James Weldon
johnson, executive secretary of the N.
A. A. c. P, made a profound plea for
racial cooperation on the part of mem
bers of the race to do all possible to
urge the passage of the Dyer Anti
Lynching bill now pending in the
United States Senate. The seating ca
pacity of the church is 1000 and fully
twice that number could not gain ad-
mission and had to be turned away.
The meeting was held under the aus
pices of the Anti-Lynching Crusaders,
OF which Mrs. Daisy E. Lampkins is
director general for the state of Penn
sylvania. The music for the occasion
was furnished by The Arion Male
Quartette, Robert A. Lewis director;
and William Blue, national music di-
rector of the American Woodmen
Rev. ]. c. Austin, president of the
local branch of the N. A. A. C. P,
acted as master of ceremonies. Mrs
Mary Turner-Burwell, chairman pro-
gram and music. More than a score
of the various women's clubs and or
ganizations of the city cooperated in
selling buttons and securing member
ships to the Anti-Lynching Crusaders
organization.
The speaker pointed out in detail
the long and difficult struggle that
had been put forth to pass the Dyer
Bill in the House of Representatives
and how it was kicked and cuffed in
the Senate, and finally left over un-
passed by the last session. He told
his hearers that if members of the
United States Senate were sufficient
ly convinced that the Negroes through
out the country were in earnest for
the passage of this bill to stop the
curse of lynching in this country, ia
vorable action could be expected. The
lack of cooperative interest shown
thus far by Negroes throughout the
country failed to compel the members
of the Senate to feel that they must
act favorably on the Dyer Bill. This
strenuous effort by Negroes through
out the country on the eve of this
important national election is bound
to bear fruit. He urged every Negro
voter to write his Senator asking for
the passage of the Dyer Bill. Millions
Of letters and kilograms from Negroes
from all parts of the country urging
the passage of the bill will aid great
ly in having the senate enact this bill
into law. He urged them to ask
their white friends to use their influ-
ence with members of the upper house
of congress for the passage of the bill.
