Indiana SlUayed
Entirely by KLar
(Crusader Seryice)

indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 15.-In no
state in the Union, not even in mob
ridden Texas, is the domination of
the Ku Klux Klan as absolute as it
is in Indiana. It would be difficult
to exaggerate the menace to the COL
ored man of the Indiana situation,
with membership that even conserv-
ative anti-Klansmen admit approxi-
mates half a million men. The forces
of the Klan are threatening to sweep
everything before them in the 1924
elections, and a Ku Klux Klan dicta-
torship of the Union or of an indi-
vidual state spells disaster for the
legitimate aspirations of the colored
man.
Klan Behind Republicans
Edward Jackson is expected to be
a candidate for governor on the Re-
publican ticket next year. He is not
fighting the Klan, and the signs are
many that the Klan will swing it's
support to him in the primary next
spring.
Arthur Robinson, another Republi-
can, and, according to the Klan Off
cials, not a member of the hooded
gang, is said to be very popular with
the Moron rank and file of the Klan.
At present the Indiana Klan is
not much concerned with the DEM
ocrats, so far as state and local is
sues are concerned. 1t is to the Re-
publican party that they are giving
their support.
Compared with the feverish activi-
ties of Klan headquarters, the Re-
publican headquarters is like tomb.
Clyde Webb, who was until recently
state chairman, retired when it be-
came known that he was member
of the Klan. In the interest of Re-
publican camoufage' he resigned and
Lawrence Lyons was elected state
chairman.
Republicans Evade Issue
There was no anti-Klan news to
be had in the Republican headquar-
ters. It was said that the organiza-
tion did not feel called upon at this
time to do any talking.
In no state in the Klan belt has
the campaign of hate and bigotry
assumed such proportions as here in
Indiana, and all the reports are that
Ohio is a close second and that the
contagion is assuming alarming pro-
portions in Illinois and Michigan.
Just now the backbone Of the Klan
appears to be Texas, Georgia, Okla

Man Kills Lynx as
1t Springs at Him

Syracuse.-A 50-pound Cana
dian lynx, the first killed on the
American side of the Canadian
border in 80 years, was shot at
Harrisville, near Watertown, by
Berney Ellis of Antwerp.
Ellis was hunting deer, and
when he came upon the lynx it
sprang at him from a tree. He

Llora Hoffman, a most talented sing
er with a real voice; Frank Byron

tertaining qualities.

the fact that the members of the
ensemble were beautifully and stuff
GENTLY clothed at all times. The
Shuberts have given an artistic and
intimate touch to the production.
Every song picture in this show
causes one to experience the grand

lips, pains in stomach, was suffering
from constipation for months.

neighbor-came in and told my wife
to get bottle of DR.. True's Elixir,

MY boy was given a half dozen
doses of DIR. True's Elixir, when he
passed a lot of worms and right away
began to show improvements began
soon to eat with a relish, play around

take full bottle, and in later years,
whenever he got off his feed, few
doses would straighten him out quick.
