Faithful and Esteemed Klans-
man:-At the regular meeting on
June gath of the Walla Walla pro-
yisional khan, it was unanimously
voted that this khan should con-
tribute an amount equal to two
dollars $4,000 per member to as
sist in financing a recount and
such other legal action as Is neces-
sary in order that the will of the
majority Of the people of Oregon
may prevail in the recent primary
nominating election.
Evidence has been submitted
which leads us to believe that
Charles Hall was nominated but
was outcounted by corruptness
which can be substantiated Dy a
recount; the estimate of the total
cost is approximately fifty-thou
sand dollars and the burden will |
not be great If equally dIv1ded
among the klansmen of the north
west.
I'VE have until July 9Th to file
the intention of the recount and
finance it; therefore, kindly get
your contribution into my office
as early as possible.
Make checks payable either to
cash or to P. L. Wadley and i'm
mediately destroy this letter by
fire upon reading it.
Yours in the sacred and un-
failing bond,

an:-Wednesday evening, June
lst, we had with us Senator
Charles Hall who made a talk, go |
ing into some detail, relative to
the primary election and the pros |
poets of a recount, giving us an
outline Of fraudulent counting
and other Irregularities in differ
ant precincts as brought to light, |
which he believes justifies a re
,ount; also going into the matter
If expenses for legal talent, bring
ng in witnesses, and necessary
court expenses where contests are
tiled in account of election re-
suits.
This matter was taken up by
the khan and it was unanimously |
decided to make a voluntary con
-ribution equal to So per member
to further this good work.
"Inasmuch as we have some
members who are not at this time
in a position, to make any dona-
tion, it was decided that any mem
Der who was financially able to do
so, and felt SO inclined, could do
nate more, while any member who
IS not able to do so need not feel
under any obligation to make
donation.
"Klansmen, it will be necessary
to get this fund together at once
and we urge all member who can
10 so to either mail a check to
his office or bring in their mon
y at the earliest possible date. =
L might say at this time that :.

gathered in a considerable sum of j
money to be used for the recount I
