Any One Body

San Francisco, Oct. ia bite
anti-ku Klux Khan resolution, submit
ted by Charles Kendrick of San Fran
cisco and a pro-Ku Klux Khan resolu
ton submitted by Z. w. Whitney o

Fifth annual convention Of the Ameri-

The resolution of the Michigan del

denunciation of the Khan, was almost
unanimously adopted.
Text of the Khan Resolutions.
The resolution of the Michigan del
egates condemning the Ku Klux Khan,
which was adopted, was as follows:
Whereas the fundamental law of
our country guarantees to all peoples
equal rights and equal opportunities
and the right to worship their God as
they see fit; and,
Whereas it is provided that our
laws shall be made and enforced by
representatives Of our people, chosen
under the law to do so; there
fore be it
Resolved by the American Legion,
That we consider any individual,
group Of individuals or organizations
which creates or fosters racial. re-
ligious or class strife among our peo-
pie, or which takes into their own
hands the enforcement of law, deter
mination of guilt or infection of pun
ishment to be American, a men
ace to our liberties and destructive Of
our fundamental law, and be it furth-
err
Resolved, That we consider such
action by any individual group or or
ganization to be inconsistent with the
ideals and purposes of the American
Legion"
The drastic santi-klan resolution,
submitted by Charles Kendrick of
San Francisco. which was defeated,
was as follows
Resolved. That the Ku Klux Klan
Is an organization destructive of
American principles and ideals and
was unfair to hundreds of thousands
Of American soldiers during the world |
war.
Therefore this convention de- !
1ounces the Ku Klux klan as an or |
of disloyal citizens"
Oklahoma's resolution. which was
submitted by 4. w. Whitney. who
stated to the press that he was a
of the Ku klux Khan, and
