Alabama Klan
Hangs al Smith
In Effigy, Ayers

SmllH, O0mOCTdIlC uOHIuS0 AOl P1Oo-
ident, was lynched in effigy at
recent meeting in the Nathan Bed
ford Forrest klavern of the Ku Klux
Klan at Wahauma, according to a
report just received.
The gathering of Klansmen was
an open meeting, and the curious
mixed crowd numbered about 200
according to reports after some i'm
promptu speeches denouncing the
Houston convention had been de-
iivered and volunteer speakers
voiced their condemnation of Cathol-
icism when two klevaliers brought
in a dummy, which was introduced
as al Smith, Democratic nominee
for president"
Those gathered were asked by the
presiding officer what they wanted
done with the dummy, and, accord
ing to reports, there were loud and
numerous replies of Lynch him!"
One of the officers of the khan pro-
duced long knife and cut the
dummy's throat, at the same time
pouring a red fluid on the neck to
give the effect of blood running
down the chest of the figure. One
of the klavaliers then is said to
have "shot the dummy through and
through" after which rope was
tied around the neck of the figure,
which was dragged around the hail
to give those present an opportunity
to kick it.
One of the officers of the khan,
following the mock lynching, is de-
clared to have stated that such treat
ment was too good for Al Smith, add
ing that the khan would lynch the
Democratic nominee with good
Christian votes in November, and for
the first time in it's history Alabama
would go Republican
is described as being in wild
frenzy" during the spectacle.
Agitation against tthe Democratic
nominee for the presidency is being
promoted in other klaverns also, ac-
cording to reports. At recent meet
ing of one of the New York Klans,
the governor was roundly denounced
on religious grounds and klansmen
were urged to vote for the Republi-
that they will be entirely within
their rights in doing so, and they
were advised that they have no need
to fear that they would be penalized

work OF the institute In studying re-
statement and clariflcation OF American
rules of law, declared that popular
opposition to decisions of Judges con-
stitutes "a very dangerous movement" "
The heart and brain" of American
law, the speaker said. Is judicial law.
pointing out that the real basis OF our
law Is founded In legal principles laid
down by Judges in countless cases over
long stretches OF years.
While the supreme" law OF the
United States is found in the Consit-
tuition, he suggested that even this did
not displace common law as 1.-The ruler
OF this country" in that the justices OF
the United States Supreme Court must
continually rule on questions OF con-
stitutionality in way similar to the
manner in which common law itself
had its origin and growth.
Protests "Snap judgement"
In pointing to the need Of study
of the consequences of legal procedure,
he protested against snap judgement
concerning the efficacy Of American
legal procedure.
Protesting against efforts to legisla-
lures to set up new codes of laws, Mr..
Tenney declared:
The fact is that we lawyers are COM
pelled to observe. and canrot change,
the fixed rules Of practice. although
we may modify their virulence in prac-
tice. That power lies with the legisla-
lures and the courts The legislatures
