CYCLOPS OF
KANSAS MEET
A Large Number of States Most
Distinguished Citizens
Attend

Wichita, Kans.-Klansmen from all
parts of the state assembled here
last week at the state meeting of the
exalted cyclops. Never before, it was
declared, was there such splendid
gathering of distinguished Kansans.
The dawn of a new era in the state
was prophesied as a result of this
meeting of the Knights of the Ku
Klux Klan, who through their men,
bership in the order are devotedly
pro-American in all things relating to
their citizenship.
Stirring Resolutions.
Stirring resolutions were passed.
The resolution endorsing the admins
tration of DR.. H. w. Evans, imperial
wizard, was passed with much enthus-
iasum and proved another blow to the
enemies of the order, who have been
hoping against hope that an inside
row would develop from the attack
made on the head of the order recent
ly by a few malcontents. Indorse-
ment of the oath, the present con-
stitution and laws, support and coop
Grafton to George McCarron, imperial
representative of Kansas, and a
pledge of loyalty and support to the
state of Kansas and the governor
thereof and all constituted officials of
the law likewise received favorable
consideration and were unanimously
approved by the attending members.
A concluding pledge of loyalty and
respect to the Constitution of the
United States of America, which in
cludes all of its amendments of the
specification that violation of the
eighteenth amendment of the same on
the part of any Klan official will be
punished by banishment forever with
out fear or favor, was strongly en-
dorsed.
Strong Representation.
Ninety-five per cent of the organ
ization of Kansas were represented
by their exalted cyclops or field rep
resentatives, Notwithstanding that the
state is in the midst of it's harvest
season, the busiest time of the year
for he whole state.
The consensus opinion was that
never before was a state meeting held
where there was such a uniformity of
purpose and such decision manifested
to abide by and conform to the con-
stitution and laws and the authority
constituted herein. And never before
was there so much progressive and
constructive legislation enacted upon.
