KU KLUX KLAN , THE ISSUE IN THE t TEXAS PRIMARIES ( Candidates not r<>ce<vlng majority of r votes will enter second primary two weeks hence, Main Issue before Voters—Ku Klux t Klan. t Approximate Voting Struth — t 625,000. t Senatorial Candidates Charles A. Culberson, incumbent,, opposed to Klan. , Cullen F. Thomas, Dallas, “strad- t die.” , Karlo B. Mayfield, Meridian, recog- i nixed as "chosen" son of Klan, but si- i lent. | Robert L. Henry, Waco, former .Con , gressman, champion of Klan. James E. Furguson, Temple, ImGovernor, against Klan. , Clarence Ousley, Fort Worth, mildly | against Klan. Gubernatorial Candidates Pat M. Neff, f*e-election, silent on : Klan issue. Harry T. Warner, Paris, newspaper I publisher, against Klan, . Fred S. Rogers, Bonham, farm-labor nonpartisan coalitionist, silent. i W. W. King, Bronson, restaurant man-farmer, silent. Dallas. Tex., July 24. —Bereft of the generation-old cause of political battle—prohibition—Texas is taking its campaign stimulants from the Ku Klux | Klan and anti-Klan bottle with a farmlabor coalition chaser. The issue will be partially settled at today's first 1922 Democratic primary. The lines have been closely drawn on this issue in the senatorial campaign, where six candidates are in the field The two candidates receiving the highest number of votes will enter the runoff primary, two weeks hence, unless the unexpected happens and one candidate recards a majority of votes. As the senatorial race is about evenly divided between pro Klan and antiKlan, the second primary will doubtless find this question the sole bat-tle-cry. In the gubernatorial race, where four names will appear on the ballot, the Klan does not seem to be so important a factor. Governor Neff is out for re-election and seldom, if ever has a candidate for the governorship for a second term received serious oppo sition and never has one been defeat ed under the primary law. Harry T.. Warner, Paris, newspaper man and avowed opponent o; the Klan, has conducted a strenuous campaign through his paper, the Paris Morning News. Fred S. Rogers, Bonham, law yer. backed by the farmer-labor-non-partisan coalition, and W. W. King, restaurant owner and farmer of Bron son, are the other gubernatorial can didates. Six candidates, including tho vener able Senator himself, are seeking the toga of Charles A. Culberson, which he has held for many years. Klan Main Issue There are too many divisions in the state it seems for the Ku Klux Klan issue to determine entirely the out come of tomorrow's election, but Texas primary law requires majority nom ination and whatever doubt remains as to the Klan’s strength, more than likely will be cleared up at the second primary on August 5. Senator Culberson announced early in "Itis campaign that he was unalterably opposed to the Klan. Former Congressman Robert 1. Henry, of Waco, declared he was a member of the organization and has solicited votes on that basis. Cullen F. Thomas, Dallas lawyer paid “the Klan must die or else be reorganized along different linos.” THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS MAY BE ON ITS DEATHBED The principal questions to be passeil upon by Third General Assembly League of Nations September 4 are: 1— Admission of Germany and Hungary to the League. 2— Canada’s proposal to suppress the famous Article Ten, of United States Senate Fame. 3— The adoption of Esperanto as an International Language. 4_The adoption of a Definite League Plan for the Reduction of Land Armaments. s_The Control of the Opium Traffic and the limitation of Opeum production. 6—control of White Slave Traffic and Traffic in Children. 7.—The Deportation of Women and Children in Turkey and adjacent countries. g—The Establishment of the League's International Health Organization. 9 —The Carrying on of the technical work referred to the League by the I Genoa conference, including finances. I 10. The expatriation of Russian refugees at Constantinople. I 11—International Co-operation. I 12 —Various amendments to the co-

venant especially relative to obligatory arbitration. 13- Increasing th<> Size of the Council and the election of the non-perma-nont members of that body. Rome, July 25.—0 n tho Third Gon oral Assembly of the league of Nations which meets this year ht Genova, on September 4. depends the future role of the league itself. It will depend on this meeting of the \ssembly whether the League shall be leveloped Into something of tho big powerful, international organization that its founders intended, or whether it shall be allowed to degenerate merely into a routine, bureaucritic organization for handling certain international technical questions and disputes, but without authority, prestige ,>r any great future Admittedly, the League to date has not been what its founders and sup porters hoped and Wished it would be. When the first General Assembly >f the League was he'd at Geneva in September, 1920, it developed that the Covenant as hastily drawn up at the Peace Conference at Paris was not the perfect instrument with which to meet he needs of the world as it now exists. From the very first, therefore, the members of the b ague, faced the I necessity of modifying the covenant and the league itself. However, the first assembly of the League of nations in 1920, largely at the instance of Balfour for England.' Viviani for France and Tittoni for ■taly, took the attitude that the league was still very much >f an experiment: hat the wise thing to do was to wait i year and give the league and the •ovenant a thorough tryout. As a consequence, everything tendng in modify the League and the Covenant in order to make the two more workable, was adjourned in mass until the Second Assembly of 1921. When the Second General Assembly of the League came on in Septerriber. 1921, it found the big powers no more ready to go ahead and develop the League than they had been the year previous. In the meantime, however, a new factor had developed—the Washington conference the following November. None of the big powers were certain just what the latter might develop. Hence, the big powers asserted, it was tgain wisdom to wait still another rear, before altering the League. As a consequent e, for the second

the authority to go ahead and at the same time refuse to take a definite stand as to limiting the activities of the League the result will be the same uh thought the latter decision had actually been taken. The League will go down anil out. In a general way, however, league supporters are hopeful. They point out that the Washington conference fell far short of the attainments that were hoped of it; tho Genoa conference fell far shorter, and the indications are that, tht Hague conference will dash the last hope of tho readjusting the world by means of international conference. They figure that the period of experiments has passed both for the Lague and for other methods of International co-operation and that the concensus of the world will be in favor of the League.
