Government Proven ~ Ottac5a.
Khan Document.
While FIVE or SIX other papers
in the State have been attempt
ing to show the danger of the
Ku klux Khan, Mr.. Holloman
and his paper have remained
omniously silent.
Not a word have we seen re-
garding this subject. Though
one of the Invest topics of the
day the Atlanta papers have
hands off. "
Has Mr.. Holloman and the
Constitution awakened at last?
1t so, we fear it is too late. If
Georgia is not in the hands and
at the mercy of the Ku Klux
klan' then we can't read the
handwriting on the wall.
Back to Mr.. Holloman's Sun
day story. He says:-
Invisible government from
which evolved h list of
the delegates to the State CON
Vention' was carried into
every county in Georgia in which
the Invisible Empire has an Of
neral, and the delegates affiliat-
ed with that secret political re-
gln1e in Georgia were thus in
sstructed, from the headquarters
IN Atlanta, to be at the conven-
ton, even if necessary at the ex-
pense of the secret organization.
TO vote against the time-honored
democratic principles of district
conferences, and for national
committeeman who, the instruc
Cions alleged had assured the IN
visible Empire that he will pro-
tect the interests of Invisible
government at the New York ma
ClonaI democratic convention.
such bold stroke at break
ing down democracy has perhaps
never been atten pied before
since America became a republic.
and since the Magma Charta of
Poitlcal liberty was written by
Jefferson. "
such a secret, cabalistic body
dow at free speech, at the funda-
mentals of a representative gov
eminent of the people, has new
er neen before made in Georgia,
nor In any other state in this
country of democratic institu-
tions.
That's very strong indict-
ment, but Mr.. HolIomon usual.
~ knows what he's talking
about. He continues by describ-
ing how a roll call of delegates
was started but stopped when
only one response-an alter
nate-came from the first three
counties"
It will be recalled also that
upon motions put mainly by Mr..
Cunning, (of Fulton, a delegate
from Chatham) the "chief of
start OF the Grand Dragon of
Ghe Realm of Georgia" who sat
beside Randolph and his fellow
caballsts, all roll call votes were
smut off, debates or speeches or
motions or other than represent
atives of the Invisible Govern
ment were eliminated, and the
voices OF the very few Georgians
VINO attended this meeting-oth-
er than the representatives SUM-
moned to duty by the Grand
Iragon-were silenced.
And thus the high-handed mn
heard of, unthinkable proceeding
progressed-unti the prooram
OF the representative of the In
visible Empire was put througb
by the rising votes of scores
packed into the hall without Gre
dentials, and without any legal
voice in the proceedings.
The reason for all of this NAV
be summed up in the instructions
that went out to the Exalted Cy-
ciops-or head of local klans-
of the Invisible Empire-from
the Grand Dragon of the Realm
of Georgia, a copy of which is
before me, the Monograph orig
lnal having been brought to the
Constitution office by a member
and indeed an official, of the
Invisible Realm, who unhesitat-
ingly and voluntarily declared it
a stencil in the nostrils of true
klansmen, who did not indorse
even the suggestion of Invisible
government, the political dicta-
ton of the Imperial Castle, or as
democrat, the abject and out
rageous surrender of that party
Gas in Georgia. to any secret po-
litical machine.
