XII KLUX KHAN DE-
NOUNCED BY NAME
John w. Davis Hits Organization of
Racial and Religious Prejudices.
NOMINEE ASKS COOLIDGE'S AID
IN KILLING 1T AS DAYS ISSUE

SEA GRIT, N. J. Aug. 81 job
". Davis delivered to-day his secon
important speech in the campaign.
He denounced the Ku Klux Khan b
lame.
Since my arrival in Sea Girt
| have been asked by more than
one person now present in this
audience what views / entertain
concerning the organization
known as the Ku Klux Khan.
Il am constrained to think
that those who ask this question
did not hear or have not done me
that honor to read the speech of
acceptance which I delivered at
Clarksburg on the 18th of this
month.
In that speech / took occasion
to declare that nothing would so
utterly destroy our happiness
and security at home and our
dignity and influence abroad as
the separation of the citizenship
of this country into discordant
groups along racial or religious
lines.
II affirmed my personal belief
in the great guarantees of relig-
ious freedom and religious tolera-
tion which have made this coun-
try what it is, and | assert it to
be the solemn duty of every be-
lever in American Institutions
to oppose any challenge, organic
ed or unorganized, of this sacred
doctrine, under whatever name or
in whatever characer it might
appear.
1T was my purpose to state
these truths in language plain
enough to leave no room for
doubt or misunderstanding of my
personal views, and in terms suf-
iciently broad to include any and
all forms of bigotry, prejudice
and intolerance. On that declara-
ton, | stand.
IF any organization, no mat
ctr what it chooses to be called,
whether Ku Klux Khan or by any
ether name, raises the standard
Of racial and religious prejudice
or attempt to make racial origins
or religious beliefs the test of
fitness for public Office it does
violence to the spirit of American
institutions and must be condemn
ed by all those who believe as /
do in American ideals.
I repeat that these matters
must not be permitted to divert
the attention of the public from
the vital questions now before
them. | venture, therefore, to ex-
press the hope that the nominee
Of the Republican party will see
fit by some explicit declarationto
join in entirely removing this
topic from the field of political
debate"

A PLEASANT VISIT TO THE
STATE CAPITAL

Last week your Uncle Bill, thought
he would take in the sights and
scenes of the State Capital. He climb
ed board the 1:25 a. m. train at Phil
ippi, and everything worked alright
until he got off the train at the Union
Station at Charleston. During the
run from Philippi, to Charleston
something went wrong. The world
had reversed itself and "Old Sol' was
coming up over the Western Hills.
After rubbing his eyes he looked a.
bout and "got his bearing.
As there is several former Barbour
County boys here, visit would be
incomplete without call on them.
In passing along the Hall way" |

ney' printed on it and as the Latch

was the same Fred.
/ also called on His Excellency the
Governor. The way he smiled and
shook hands thought he was glad
to see me. told him that / was
getting a little short on money. He
offered to loan me so much as As
cents to help me out.
/ looked in on the Teachers Insti-
tute that was held last week. / met
our good friend DR.. W. H. Hunt, a
former Institute Instructor for US

about worn out saw large mass of
stones and thought it was one of the
Pyramids of Old Egypt. / asked
fellow passenger what it was and he
informed me that it was the new Cap
itol. l asked him if it was in West
Virginia. Eyes" said he at is in the
suburbs of West Virginia" / asked
him how the members of the legis-
laure would reach it. He said that
the plan was to run an aeroplane.
This plane would be in charge of the
capitol Wiring" and the members of
the Legislature would be instructed as
to how they would vote and if he re-
fused to do as he was told, he would
