1T meant they would go down the
line for the klan," said Emmons, "and
that the khan should go down the line
for him"
The letter said Claris Adams, the
opponent of Watson in the republican
senatorial primary, was neutral" and

Emmons, at Reeds prompting, ex
planned that the neutral" meant the
klansmen of Indiana should oppose
Adams while supporting Watson in

Rosenwald Got Indignant.
The first time Rosenwald got his

both are intensely patriotic and yet
both see public duty in a different

Rosenwald recollected that Abraham
Lincoln was born in the state of ILL

the honor of old Abe's native state.
He went hunting for a candidate.
Finally he located Magill, who ap.

quite a while to convince Magill that |
