J. T. Fain, Editor
Hendersonville Times-News
Hendersonville, n. G..


Hendersonville, N. c.
Dear Mr.. Fain:
| do not believe that Chris
tan gentleman such as we believe
YOU to be, would knowingly print
a falsehood in your paper. Yet
| have before me in the Hender-
sonville Times-News of March 9th
an editorial which you carry by
Bruce Cation, which constitutes
the most unbroken chain of false
hoods, with the exception of two
statements which | have yet seen
printed in one issue Of any pc
riodcial.
I want to say at the outset that
We are not personally placing the
responsibility of such an article
upon you at this time, since it is
obvious you know nothing what
soever about the Silver Legion OF
America. 1t sincerely believe that
if you were familiar with the
aims and detectives of the Silver
Legion, and if you were familiar
with the mass of irrefutable docu
mentary evidence on the diaboli
cal plan which is being perpetrat
ed upon our nation by the inter
national aliens within our gates
evidence which would win a cas-
in any court in the United State
evidence upon which we bias,
the tenets of our battle againS
the international plans to spreat
Red ommunism, tear down on
government, destroying our con
stitution. enslave our people, d.
away with the free institution
upon which this nation is found
ed say. if YOU knew thes'
things, | believe you would re
frain from ever again disseminat
ing such bilge as Mr.. Gator
writes to an already debauchet
American public. who are ailowe'
to think only what the hierarch,
of international marplots insid
our nation wants them to think.
If you should find out tOda
that the foregoing is true, if W
could show you wherein you ar
being used as a tool to destro
everything which Christian Amer
leans hold dear, would YOU con
tinue to support such a diaboIica
plan?
By way of correcting Bruc
Cations faisehoods, | want t
point out first that the Silver lie
gion of America is not Fas
cist or Nazi organization, no
have we. any connection wit
these or any other foreign plans
: We are an American Christia
militia organized to uphold tn
, government of the United States
the constitution and principles o
freedom and liberty upon whic
, this nation was founded.
We are not revolutionary no
: do we plan to "seize" the reins o
: the government of the Unite
= States. We are 100 per cent flo
: representative government.

Silver Shirts when and wher
they will. 1t does not cost 81
to join the Silver Legion. TIL
cost of membership is 81.
