KLANSMEN DENY
 RELIGIOUS FIGHT
No Quarrel With Catholics, Con-
 VentiOn Hears

Washington, Sept. 14 ND - Poli- cies of the Ku klux Klan were un- der consideration here today by its members at the third biennial klonvocation of the order which was opened by a colorful parade of the white -robed hosts yesterday up Pennsylvania avenue.
 Although business sessions are closed to the general public, news paper correspondents are admitted. But names of participants in the proceedings. however are not re- vealed, being given in the program merely as "klansmen of Indiana" ''an exalted cycIops," or "promi- nent Kan minister"
 The name of the first speaker at last nights session, for instance, was withheld, but he was intro duced as the man who seated Sen ator Mayfeld, democrat. Texas, and seated Senator Steck, demo- crat, Iowa, in place of Smith w.. BrookharJ. republican, whom he was credited with having unseated,
 Parade Not So Bright
 The parade was the second of it's kind in Washington in a little more than a year, and in it march cd delegates from practically every state in the union and from Alaska and Panama.
 Many more klansmen marched than was the case a year ago, but the demonstration lacked many of the decorative floats and apprently the number of drill teams and bands was less.
 From the time the first of the procession started down the wind ing roadway at the capitol until the last of the klans, those from New York state, had moved out of the avenue,4 two hours and 45 minutes had elapsed.
 The principal speaker at last ington. is said to hold a high place in the organization.
 No Religious Quarrel
 He predicted absolute exclusion of immigrants within a few years and declared that the klan had no quarrel with the Catholics, but was determined there would be re- moved from the body polite of America any influence of the Cath olic church.
 He declared that the recent eu- charistic congress in Chicago was a challenge to America.
 Keep Al Smith in New York, was his parting address as the delegates broke in a demonstra- ton, with applause, catcalls and whistling.

 tion Is Foreign-Born Plot

Rome. Sept 14 Rl-The authori- vinced than ever that Gino Lucettis attempt on the life of Premier Mus soini last Saturday was the outcome Of wide plot backed by commun- ists and anarchists in Italy and abroad.
 Relatively few actual arrests have been made. since concrete informa- ton is lacking. but about $50 per sons in all have been detained for questioning.
 L.ucetti still denies that there was a conspiracy, asserting that the bombing was prompted by his per sonal political faith. but the police say his story cannot be believed in view of the many indications that his intentions were known and ap- proved by notorious Reds"
 They have reports from France that Lucetti told an Italian self exile there that he was certain his attempt would succeed, adding, with a though 10 his own probable fate: "Mussolini and l are as good as dead now"

am asking the political support of
the voters of King County, for the
office of Prosecuting Attorney, on
the following platform:
FIRST. | will save the taxpayers
$4,000 per year by organizing the
office with the best legal talent OBJ
tainable, on non-partisan basis. Ev-
cry case, civil or criminal, will be
carefully prepared before it goes into
court. This will be great saving to
the taxpayers.
SECOND. Not dollar of the
taxpayers money will be used under
me for stool pigeon spies or bogus
detectives. In the past we have had
such able prosecutors as the late
James F. McElroy, the late Walter
Fulton, and Judge Kenneth Mackin-
tosh, now Justice of Supreme Court.
These men did not find it necessary
to have spies; and | will not, for
conssder it un-American to hire spies.

uor violations, is to give jail sem
fences. Yet he dismisses cases against
his own drunken stool pigeons when
they are convicted, and he thereby
sanctioned their conduct. He Is
guilty of accessory after the fact.
Criminal assaults have been made
women and statutory crimes perpe-
trated on children, which was all
made known to Prosecutor Colvin,
and evidence furnished him, but he
refused to act and by so doing
shielded the criminals.
Corruption is openly charged and
sworn to in affidavits, yet Prosecut-
ing Attorney Colvin takes no action.
1t has been openly charged in the pub
lie press that the practice of giving
drunken parties by some county en-
ployees in the county building is so
notorious that respected employees
have resigned their positions.
Colvin has accused the Sheriff S
office, police department and detec-
tive department, If laxity oi law en-
forcement and has continued TO rail
ct them for failure to enforce the
laws, yet he himself has refused to
prosecute his own stool pigeons foi
violating the law, and has utterly
failed to administer the Prosecuting
Attorneys office with effectiveness
and dignity.
One Grand Jury made written
and signed request that the Prosecut-
ing Attorneys office be investigated.
The 1924 Grand Jury sent Colvin out
of the room because of his conduct
while / was before that honorable
body.
This is only a part of Mr. Colvin's
record as Prosecutor, and this is
why he does not dare meet me in de-
bate and defend his record before the
public. The taxpayers of King
County now have the opportunity for
day of reckoning and to clean out
the Court House political ring, and
Colvin with them.

County Commissioners, with real de-
tectives, our Sheriff, police and de-
tective department, should make them
and place their findings before the
Prosecuting Attorney for action.
THIRD. 1t is as much the duty of
the Prosecutor to protect the inno-
cent as to prosecute the guilty. Law
enforcement should be free from
persecution and oppression.
Justice is the aim of the law.
FOURTH. I possess the legal
qualifications and executive ability
necessary to serve as Prosecutor of
this County. graduated at law

Taxpayers Money Wasted On Stool
Pigeons and Spies

citizens.
Last year Ben Summers, one Of
Colvin's spies, was indicted for white
slavery, but the indictment was dis
missed by the ring who were afraid
to prosecute him.
Ragsdale, another of Colvin's fam
Gus Investigators, was arrested for
driving while drunk and smashing
into other machines on the Bothel
Highway, February 6, 1925. He was
convicted in Judge Dalton's court
April 30. 1925, fined $50 and cost:
and sentenced to GO days in jail. Col
win went into court, dismissed the
case and paid Ragsdale S1,148.30 Of
the taxpayers money after he prom
ised to dismiss him. The gang didn't
dare to jail Ragsdale.
Ed Lopanski and l Emerson, two
more of Colvin's men, assaulted {

Judge Pemberton
A FIGHTER FOR THE
PEOPLE!

The Star likes to see a man in
public life who is not afraid to fight
for the people.
It realizes that, too often, the peo-
pie fail to appreciate the fight that is
being made for them, and that
through sheer lack of knowledge on
the part Of the voters their champion
is crushed by the organized OPPOSE
ton.
Pemberton's decisions are based on
the facts in the case before him.
| He isn't much concerned with prece-
dents dragged down out Of musty old
tombs. His decisions have been
squarely in line with his fight TO
humanze the courts, and often have
been made in the face of opposition
from all the other judges.
It likes the fearless and humane
way in which Judge Pemberton has
/ gone about doing it.-Seattle Star.

WHY RAILROAD LAWYERS
OPPOSE JUDGE PEMBERT0N

The reason the corporation lawyers say
that Judge VIM H. Pemberton is unfit is
because he refused to decide a sufficient
number of eases in their favor. AS IN
illustration, take Volume 1913, Washington
Reports. In about on month eight railway
cases came before Judge Bridges and
Judge Pemberton in she same department.
The railroads won seven Of the eight.
Judge pemberton wrote the opinion against
the railways. Judge Bridges wrote a dis
senting opinion in favor Of the railroads
and signed the other seven, making him
one hundred per cent for the railroads.
Judge Bridges Lowers r. r. Taxes
In one of these cases, Spokane Inland
Empire K. Il. Co. VS.. Whitman County,
Judge Bridges reduced the assessed valua-
ton of the railroad over $4,000, 900, reduc-
ing its taxes $4,000 a year and placing
it upon the people already overburdened
by taxation. In Volume 1877 Judge
Bridges wrote an opinion reducing the
