der an investigation of the activities
OF the Klu klux Klan in this com.
munity.
In letter to the governor early
Saturday, Mayor Fleming alleged that
most of the offices and men in the
guards are members of the khan and
that the local armory is a hotbed for
the dissemination of the doctrines of
the khan.
He further stated that because of

the khan, great bitterness between
the citizens has been stirred up, re-

brought about the good. and if it
does any bad, he can tell them that
the council outvoted him." Dan
Swanson, commissioner of public
lands and buildings, said in summing
up the governors plan.
Another objection is that while
Bryan would hold the council respon-
sible for work done by his appoint
ees, they would have no voice in
naming men who would be RESPONSE
BILE for carrying out their directions.
To say certain members of the leg
islatures were astounded by Bryan's s
recommendations would be putting
their feelings in mild words. For it
wasn't more than three months ago
that Governor Bryan was marching
up and down the state calling Govern
or Mckelvie "czar," Sultan" and
even harsher names. And. yet, under
the plan of government in effect un-
der the McKelvie administration, the
head of every department was named
by the governor and confirmed by the
legislature.
Another surprise sprung by Bryan
was his failure to keep faith with his
campaign pledge to regroup state ac-
tivities under constitutional officers.
Everyone confidently believed this
would be his plan.
However, the people choose to elect
only one democratic constitutional
officer, excepting the governor, and
carrying out his campaign promises
would have taken from the demo-
cratic machine the power to pick po-
litical plums.
So, Governor Bryan, despite his
rrotestations of nonpartisanship, has
been forced to come into the open and
prove that he is politician, pure
and simple, demanding such ap-
pointive powers as the state never
heard of in past years.
