Editor World: To tho l2 questions asked by
me, "a Republican" answers by saying, II /
know the khan to be guilty OF the crimes charged
1t is my privilege to bring charges and produce
proof of the same"
lie knows we'll that such proof will have
to come from knnsmen themselves and that
they are bound by solemn oath to keep the
secrets OF the khan, Therein lies the great dan
ger to orderly government.
don't believe there is an honest kansman
In the United states who will deny these charges
through your columns
"A Republican" knows well that many times
have men walked into towns he-smeared with
their backs marked X. K X and sometime
whipped 10y the Ku-KluN Klan."
Is u not a notorious fact that former kleagie
In the klAn has made confession to planning
a raid made by the khan AT inglewood Cal?
| suppose now, Mr.. Republican. that you are
a member OF the khan and know something
Since you ccnsure me for condemnlng thing
| know nothing about Will ask you why were
you eager to become member Of an or
Eanization you knew nothing about. since you
did know that the khan is accused OF the crimes
| mentioned and more?
In my opinion, the activities OF the khan ought
TO be made free and open discussion In every
newspaper In America and let It stand on its
merits with the unvarnished truth known.
"Ono hundred per cent American" coming
from pulpit orator, sounds rather siCkening
about an Organization 80 generally accused of
fagraut violations OF the law and the tramp
ling of the constitutional rights OF citizens under
It's feet.
1t is claimed by friends that the khan will
help to stop crime by creating a reign OF terror
among criminals.
DO you think that theft, hootcgging, ana
other crimes have decreased since you have been
actiye2
am Of the opinion that crime generally has
increased since your activities began and be-
levo further that the really hardened criminal
has taken pattern of you in the way OF a mask
to conceal his identity.
Mr. Republican, feel that l should express a
personal opinion to you, by saying that your
letter shows great weakness. You boast OF be-
Ing eligible 10 membership iR the khan and ques-
ton the eligibility OF the editor. believe him
TO be an American of the true-blue type. who
gives ample expression OF real Americanism in
an open forum.
You seem to he an American by your sworn
allegiance 20 masked organization and sworn
allegiance to the VIII OF an imperial wizard
Why did you need much severe fOgmallty
20 become a 200 per cent American"
