of the press of the state is that the
Democratic national convention did the
wise and proper thing In the matter
of defeating the proposition naming the
ku klux klan in its platform. AS a
result Of Klan opposition att the con-
vention there is a decided movement to
increase the membership in this state
and one hears more Of the work Of the
klan thar has been the case for many
months. The fact that there was
disruption and detection from the par
ent organization, that it has gotten to
the courts and been penalized, were suf-
heient to create some dissension and
to: cause many quietly to drop out, but
now the promoters are invading many
sections and receiving applications.
in this city there are some 5000 men,
bers. Membership in the state Is per-
haps 10000. In the rural sections the
