ADVANCE, Ind., Aug. 25. This little Protestant city witnessed its

first big Klan parade Wednesday night when 375 men and women of

the Invisible Empire held a splendid parade here, preceded by a Klan address in the city school building. The parade moved from a farmhouse in the south end of town at 9 o'clock, after the bomb had announced that a minister of Bethany Park had finished his lecture downtown. Led by the Red Men's large flags, and lighted by numerous red lights and fuses, the parade marched through town with the Lebanon Klan band and the Thorntown band play

ing inspiring music. Besides the hosts of Klansmen on foot, there were a number of women' riding in'

the parade and eight well-decorated

horsemen. Seven horsemen were also in the line. The parade marched

through all of the main streets of

Advance and returned to the starting point where it disbanded. More Demonstrations According to the Klan official in charge of the Boone county organization, the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan have met success all through this county. There are few who can not qualify for membership, and with

(By Kitter) TANGIER, Ind. Aug. 27. This little village, nestled in the hills of Parke county, witnessed its first Klan demonstration last Tuesday night when a parade and semi-public initiation was held here. Tangier is a little village of 800 citizens and it is a safe estimate to say that all of those citizens were on the streets

Tuesday night, in robes or on the

sidelines.

The parade moved off from a grove

east of town at about 9 o'clock. The

parade was led by three marchers.

a color-guard from Rosedale. Imme

d lately behind them came a Rock-

ville car bearing a large fiery cross,

electrically lighted, and made com

pletely of glass. This odd cross was

easily the feature of the entire affair, and the car carrying it was warmly applauded by the spectators who

lined the way Klansmen on foot and In cars made up the remainder of the parade. Cold Weather Retards Reaching the Tangier hill in the center of town, the line came to a halt, and the line of waiting candidates fell in and moved off with the column. The candidates were not in robes, but as they were from neighboring towns, none was recognized. The parade crossed the C, A. & S. tracks and turned south behind the railway depot, marching back into

ine wuas or rarKe county, across a

creek to a high mound overlooking

the town. There a thirty-five foot

fiery cross was ignited and the rit

ualistic work given to the candidates

by the Parke county Kludd, a promi

nent professional man. The candidates were from Mecca, Montezuma,

Rosedale, Rockville and Bridgeton.

The sharp coldness of the weather

prevented a number of candidates

from coming to the affair, It was

stated by the Klan official in charge.
