The organizer further stated that

The state claims approximately $4,000
members.
The organizer stated that he was
meeting with good success in his cam
paign for membership. 1t is expect
ed within two months that Brush will
be made a Chartered Organization.
While he declined to answer the mum
ber OF members received tc date

approximately 100 will be necessary
before application for charter will be
made.
The organizer further stated that
the klan stood for Americanism aad
insisted that wave of brutality and
thuggery did not follow in the wake
of the Klan. claiming that Governor
Walton of Oklahoma tried to become
member before he started his fight
on the organization.
The organizer asked that his name
be withheld for business reasons, ow-
ing to his connections nj Denver
One of the main objections to the
Klan seems to be the secret working
OF the Invisible Empire and the fail
ure to disclose its membership. This
affords those desiring to commit un-
lawful and cowardly acts an oppor-
tunity to accomplish their purpose
