Twelve Year Old Boy Seen Drunk on
Pelican Rapids Streets
A splendid Klan meeting was held
short time ago at Pelican Rapids.
The theatre of that village was filled
to capacity. The large audience
listened most attentively to the lee
ture on Klan principles. After the
meeting, large number of the finest
people of Pelican Rapids community
placed their applications for men,
bership in the Knights of the Ku Klux
Klan with the field representative of
that Order. On the very night that
fathers of Pelican Rapids were hear
ing the heart-breaking cry for the re-
vival of the old-fashioned home and
consecrated parenthood, a boy not
much over twelve, was staggering
the streets, under. the influence of
liquor. Some might contend that this
was merely an isolated case, but many
people came forward and testified that
there are many things in the North
western part of Ottertail county that
demand attention on the part Of
Christian men and women.
At Henning and Vining the Kan
lecturers were well received. Al
ready in these two villages a large
number of the best people have join
ed hand in hand with the Protestants
of Ottertail county for the purpose
of bettering the community, the state
and the nation.
Mile Laos and Kanabec Counties on
Klan Map
In Wilkins county, the center of
Klan activities naturally is Brecken-
ridge. Recently, the Baptist church
of that city was used for Ku Klux
Klan meeting. A large number of
the finest people of Breckenridge at
tended. If we were to tell you how
many reputable citizens of Wilkin
county are now members of the Ku
Klux Klan, you would be inclined to
doubt our veracity. In fact, the men,
bership strength of Ottertail, Will
kins, MilleLacs and Kanabec coun-
ties have recently shown unusual
growth. The people of the latter two
counties have not had an opportunity
to get Together through the agency Of
the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan but
very short time. Most wonderfully
are they rallying around the Fiery
Cross and Old Glory. Anti-Klan
newspapers filled with distorted facts
and lying propaganda have accom-
plished nothing. 1t is evident that
the people of MilleLacs and Kanabec
counties understand the source of the
attacks made upon the Ku Klux Klan.
1t is very heartening indeed to find
people who have the capacity Of
grasping the truth in an unbiased
manner, as is conspicuously true Of
the people of these two counties.
Northward moves the Klan up in Pine
county, through foreignism we'll es-
tablished in sections there, ON into
Carlton county, up to the very shores
of Lake of the Woods. In the Iron
Range district the Klan has already
gained permanent foothold. In Be-
midi strong Klan membership has
already been attained and big things
are expected from that city and the
county of which it is a part. Through
concentrated efforts of several.months
in the Southern part of the state, the
Invisible Empire is we'll established.
Organization details are rapidly being
completed and it won't be long until
the machinery of Klandom will be
functioning as it should Although
the Klans in Southern Minnesota
have gained strong membership,
steady growths are revealed by re-
ports coming into the Office of the Call
of the North.
