WHITE COUNTY GOES OVER THE TOP!

Aliens Aid Klan at Wolcott by Un-American Actions Meetings Grow in Size

MONTICELLO, Ind., July 14. Monticello and White county have gone over the top with their share of the one-halt million Klansmen in Indiana. Cold facta and figures show that lor every night during the past four months there hag been a meeting of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan at some point in this county. One of the moat picturesque ceremonials ever held in this county was staged on the Monday night before the Fourth of July when two fiery speakers of eloquence addressed a great crowd near this town Immediately

preceding the initiation of almost

two hundred men. Aliens on the Job

Wolcott, a little town in the western part of the county, was the scene of a public meeting at which there

were about 2,500 people recently, and at which meeting it was rumored that alien influences were to start trouble. Undeterred by threats and rumors of planned violence by the opposition, which at the present time Is operating a "reign of terror,"

the speakers fearlessly unfolded the principles of the Klan. At the' close of the meeting a crowd of men professing the Catholic faith made their presence known and while they did not start actual violence, their remarks and actions resulted in a large number of persons "making up their minds" in a hurry with the result that a big Increase in Klan membership followed

quickly.

The Klan in White county is 'carrying on" and each meeting Is

larger than the preceding.

GREENVILLE, O., July 16. Twen

ty thousand people gathered at the Darke county fair grounds to attend ceremonies of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan here last week.

Automobiles jammed the roads

from all directions and by noon,

Greenville had witnessed the largest

crowd in its history.

After many patriotic speeches in

the city, a band of twenty pieces

in full Klan uniform, led the throngs to the fair grounds where the chief

ceremonies were performed.

Flag Shall Never Perish The chief speaker said in part:

"That's the America and her flag

which all Klansmen love and have

sworn that it shall never perish from

the earth or fall from the galaxy

of the nations until the enemies of our organization have marched over

the bleeding and mangled forms of the last Klansman and out from his

veins shall have flowed the last warm, red drop of the Kiansman's blood to mingle with its clay, to give it color, to sanctify and glorify and make of it a pleasant memory in the minds of the angels of God. "If a man among our ranks wants to demand that we put a plank in our platform denying the freedom of religious worship to Roman Catholics we will fight that man to the bitter end, not caring who he is. We are not anti-Catholic, anti-Jew, or anti-negro- we are anti-nothing. We are strictly a pro organization."

(From The IrnlL. lanolis News) TERRE HAUTE, led., July 14.

Reports that members of the Anti-

Horse Thief Association of the coun

ty have been exceeding their author!

ty resulted in the board of county

commissioners taking steps Friday

afternoon toward curbing the activi

ties of the association members by

revocation of their authority to act or increasing their bonds to a figure

assuring the public that only men of good intention will be permitted to

aid in the enforctment law. Board Asks Opinion

The board asked Robert G. Catlin

county attorney, lor an opinion on

the right of the commissioners to revoke commissions given to the vigilantes, and the future action "will

depend on the interpretation of the

law as given by the county attorney

Feeling against the association, al

ready strong with the members

the board, was accentuated Friday

when Don Wright of Coal Bluff ap

peared at the office of Sheriff Fred

Armstrong with a story of mistreat

ment of his family at the hands of

members of theTassociation.

House Torn Up

wrignt, who is owner ot a gen

eral store, told the sheriff that tl-

anti-horse thief detectives went to

his home while he was away

aroused the family frem bed and

acted rudely and tore up the house in a most unnecessary manner, scattering contents of drawers about the rooms, but finding no evidence of liquor law violation. Officials about the courthouse say

Wright never has been suspected of violating the liquor laws, as he ran a general store which had no soft drink bar in connection or any other appliance suggestive of liquor law violation.
