to be separated He said that the
Khan backed Brewster because Brew
ster stood for the separation OF the
church and the state and added that
had Harrington believed thus, he
would have received the Klan's sup
port. AS an example of this. he said
the Catholic Church was influential
because il supported itself He gave
as another fundamental of the order,
that OF keeping the home clean and
with the idea OF morals he pointed out
the fact that the murderers in this

Khan Is an organization that stands
by the boys and girls OF this country,

stands for the good old fashioned
American homes Mr. Reynolds
also credited the Khan as DESTROYS of
bringing out an interest in political
affairs, urging that every man and
woman be interested in political mat
ters, and while Mr.. Reynolds said he
believed thai the foreigner has d
right TO a place in the world, he
thought it would be best TO stop EN-
migration for while. until We can
Americantke the foreigners who have
already come 10 this country. He
paid touching tribute TO his fathers
part in the Civil War and said that
the foreigners who came To this coun-
try, little realized what il had cost
us. He credited the Khan with keep
ing the high ideals of nation. clean
and pure to hand down TO succeeding
generations For the Khan itself. he
said that there were millions of the
best blood in the country in its Or
ganization and that it was an organi-
cation that shall spread into every
hamlet and town in the forty-eight
states. that il would go into Boston
and every city. because il is right;
that il was an organization that has
the best interests OF every man and
woman at heart, while his closing
thought was again on the school
question saying that the United
States had made more inventions be
cause of the intelligence of its people
and the general education which its
public schools afforded.
During the address several of the
Klansmen removed their hoods and
revealed a group of Madison and
Skowhegan men. A collection was
asked for and among the local citi-
zens who were among the robed men
were Dr. Edward White and Herbert
L. Ames While the collection was
being taken. the Reverend Mr. Brown
spoke informally and quoted the Khan
breed as being next TO the Apostles
Creed. He noted Rev H. L. Nichols
of the Methodist Church in the aud
fence and called upon him TO dispense
the assembly. This the Rev Mr.
Nichols consented 10 do and offered
prayer in which he referred to agree
ment and disagreement and urged the
people above all else TO recognize that
God is supreme.
