LA TOILETTE FACES
 HIS BUSIEST WEEK
Plans Important Address Thurs day in New York

Washington, Sept. 15,-Facing his most strenuous week since announce Ing that he was an independent presi dential candidate, Senator Robert M. La Toilette was busy today shaping up the speech he will deliver Thurs day night in Madison Square Garden, New York City. He expects to com plete the text before leaving for New York.
 No inkling has been given by Senator La Toilette as to the ground he will cover in his initial Campaign speech to an audience. Friends, however, predict that he will touch on all the issues he considers of ma- jor importance, singling several out for emphasis. Later in the campaign, they say, he will discuss the others at length. .
 Senator La Toilette, according to present plans, will not go to New York until Thursday. He will re- main there day or two after his address. perhaps over Sunday, for conferences with political lieuten- ants and supporters.

FLORIDA REALM KLANS
HOLD NATURALIZATION
West Palm Beach Unit No. SO Is
Host to State Ku Klux Khan
Delegations

WEST PALM BEACH, FLA, March
31.-Albert Sidney Johnson Klan No.
so of West Palm Beach held its great
est celebration since it was charter
ed which took place Thursday night
with great parade and public ma
tralization ceremony.
Plans had been under way for some
time for this event andall letails
were worked out far in advance. A
large class of candidates were ini--
tiated and several nearby Klans had
many aliens on hand for naturaliza-~
tion.
y The meeting was held under the
general supervision of the Great Ii"
ten of Province five, with the assist
ance of the Province officers. The
banner degree team of Klan No. 50
had charge of, and conducted the
naturalization proper, which insured
the success of the ceremony, as this
team has for some time been the
best in the state, and has been stead
lily improving through hard practice
and many rehearsals.
All the klans in the Realm Oh
Florida were invited, and many
Klans from as far south as Key West
and north to Jacksonville were pres
ent.

national conventions, the contest is
going to wax hotter and hotter.
MIR. McAdoo, who received consid-
erable of a setback through the dis
closure of his connection with Do
heny and Sinclair interests, has par
TALLY recovered his equilibrium by
his big victory recently in Georgia.
The McAdoo followers seem to feel
that if they can't nominate their
man that they at least can dictate
the nominee to the convention, al
though they have by no means given
up the idea of nominating the man
from Georgia-New York-California
next June, in New York.
Don't Want Religious Scraps
Some of the Democrats who are
partial to Governor AL Smith, of New
York, are going on the theory that
the fact of Smith being a Roman
Catholic ought not to prevent him
from receiving the Democratic nom
ination. They are saying that this re-
lgious question is bound to be fought
out some time, so why not bring on
the scrap in 1924 and settle it one
Way or the other, first as last. The
Klan Of the United States would wei
come such an opportunity as that to
make itself felt, but there is no use
Of expecting that fight to develop
this year The other Democrats of
the nation are too smart to walk in
to an open trap like that, not on your
life will they permit such fight to
be started this year. Smith hasn't
look-in for the Democratic nomina-
tion. If it were left up to one state,
and New York was that state, the
writer would say that he had an op-
portunity for the nomination, but
don't fool yourself, the Democratic
party of the nation is not going to
let New York state lead the party to
a premeditated suicide anything like
that.
Other Scandals -
Yes, the United States and the Re-
publican patry has been rocked with
csandals this spring. They couldn't
be much worse, but Uncle Sam is not
the only country to suffer in this way
1t is not so many years ago since
France was rocked far worse over the
Panama canal scandals which so
shocked the world at that time
Great Britain has had its upheavals
that have upset its cabinets and even
rocked it's noted premier, Lloyd
George, out of office.
OF course this is no excuse for the
troubles the United States is in. Our
oil affair is not lovely, in fact 1t
smells TO high heaven, but the thing
10 do is to clean house, thoroughly
fumigate il and go on. The Demo
Gratis say the Republicans can't sur
vive the 1924 scandals, but the Re
publicans are going TO try TO live and
clean house themselves and go on
with a clean slate II they can.
Thus we approach the 1924 cam
paign orators TO say nothing Of the
press to the country which undoubt-
edly will be drawn into the thickesI
4 the fray.

Before the oil investigating COM

Income tax officials told the COM

The people are thinking of former
Secretary Fall, Mr.. Doheny, Mr.. Sim
clair and possibly others. They are
wondering about criminal indict-
ments and they are not going to be
satisfied simply by watching the SEN
atorial fire department running to a
fire unless they can get action and
have the fire put out by that depart
ment when it gets on the legei scene.
c. c. Chase, collector of customs
at Ell Paso, Texas, has gotten out

son-in-law of Albert B. Fall, and sue

senate committee, and the country
about that 100000 loan. Chase tried
unsuccessfully to get a man in Cleve-
land. Ohio, to say publicly that he
loaned Fall the money. but the Cleve-
land man wouldn't stand for such
stuff and Chase got caught In the
trap. The senate has started pro-
ceedings to have congress impeach
him but he resigned and went in
hurry.
Harry Sinclair, noted oil man, will
in all probability find himself in real
hot water before he gets through
with the senate for failure to give
testimony. So will others. This
troversy is proving rich picking for
newspaper men and the readers.

KHAN LECTURE DRAWS CROWD AT
LARNED, KANSAS, DESPITE SNOW

LARNEE. KAN, March 31.-Al-
though almost snowbound by one of
the largest SHOWS that mad fallen here
in several years, residents of this
community filled the court room in
the court house at a recent lecture
on what is the Ku Klux?" delivered
by DIR. Andrew Potter, pastor of the
First Baptist church, Enid, Okla
homa. The large attendance was no
table because the meeting was adver-
tised only by handbills, the local pa
pers refusing to- print advertise
ments. Many persons in the audi
ence afterwards joined the order.
The impossible roads, covered in
many places by snowdrifts five feet
deep failed to discourage those de
sious of learning of the geat move
ment.
Declaring that they would not
print an advertisement concerning
anything that "they did not know
was perfectly all right" the publish
ers of the local papers refused to
print an advertisement of the lecture
announced as "Romanism, as / Saw
1t in Europe" although they pub
lished 13 patent medicines advertise
ments in the current issues.
Doctor Potter declared that the
community needed to learn what the
order stood for and changed his sub
ject. Both Of the papers at first ac-
cepted the advertisements and money
in payment for them but returned
them, branding the advertisements
as inflammatory. Observers declared
that the brief stories about the meet
ing printed by these papers were
more infiammatory than the adver-
tisements.

There seem to be two divergent
schools in South Dakota; one school
consists of the presidents friends and
supporters and the other school
seems to think that the president has
made a mistake in not swinging the
meat axe long ago on fellows like
Attorney General Daugherty, A. b.
Fall, c. c. Chase, and others. This
school of thought is of the opinion
that President Coolidge should have
hunted around long ago and found the
big stick that Teddy" had when he
was in the White House and proceed
ed to use 1t.
However, the presidents friends
claim that he thrives on a crisis,
that he is a tower of silence and per
fectly deaf to clamor. Nevertheless
the voters of South Dakota have
spoken and they have sided against
MIR. Coolidge. South Dakota is criti-
cizing him because he rejected the
advice of Senators Lodge and Pepper
when the senators sought to have the
president let his attorney general 60
The back-stairs gossip about Mr.,
Daugherty is frightening proof with
many people. Although up to date he
has not actually been found guilty
still there is no mistaking the sign
that public confidence in him is shak-
en-, and very badly shaken, at that
He is a liability right now to the adj
ministration, and not an asset by any
means.
People Want Punishment
The main thing that now concern:
the public is fear that those found
guilty, or who apparently are guilty
will go unpunished. The people want
action, sharp and decisive, and nc
monkeying or delaying matters or
