DRYS AND kLAN
ARE ASSAILEQ
BY GOVERNORS

White Sulphur Springs, W. Va,
Dec. 15.-State executives attend
ing the 14th annual conference OF
governors turned from conference
discussions to an inspection of coal
mines near Beckley.
Prohibition and the Ku Klux
Khan questions brought a clash Of
views when the meeting was
thrown open to debate about mid
night after Governor Olcott Of Ore
gon assailed the Khan As q national
menace.
Governor Morrison Of North Car
olina opposed introduction Of eth
er the Klan or prohibition question,
which previously had been brought
up by Governor Parker Of Louis
lana, who declared prohibition was
almost . farce and that the Khan
should be curhed by federal legis-
lation. As two OF the -touchiest"
questions before the conference,
Governor Morrison opposed their
introduction at q conference which
he believed should be devoted to an
exchange Of ideas on the admins
trative duties Of governor.
Khan vs.. Vets.
Governor Morrison declared he
disagreed with Governors Parker
and Olcott on methods for fighting
the Khan, which he said could mot
be legislated ont Of existence, but
could be met effectively only by
argument. AS to Governor Par
ker's assertion that prohibition was
not being enforced and his opinion
that the sale Of light wine and beer
should be permitted Mr.. Morrison
said he was "astonished at the Lou
isiana governors willingness to
surrender to the lawlessness among
anti-prohibitionists" on the one
hand and his desire to light what
he conceived to be lawlessness in
the Khan on the other. Governor
Parker reioined that he did mot con-
ceive his attitude on prohibition to
any yielding to lawlessness-
While he did not mean to defend
the Klan and dep3ored its possible
danger to the country In aronsing
the spirit Of religious intolerance
and raciap feeling. Governor MoEri-
son said he could relate many acta
Of henevOlence attributed to the
secret organization. ss.
