KLAN STICKS FINGERS INTO G, 0, P. ‘PIE’ Wide Split in Republican Ranks Follow K. K. K. Activities. BY DIC K MILLER Tlrnti Stiff Writer When the regular Republican slate is passed on to the ward and precinct workers late Monday, with instructions, “There are the candidates Cap’ wants to put over,’ several names regularly on the list in years gone by will be missing. At any rate, that is the idea gathered from converstaions between henchmen of George V. <Cap> Coffin. The Ku-Klux Klan organization, which once controlled the Republican party in Indiana, is making a determined effort to make itself a political power again. With its early activities, it seems, came a wide split in the Marion county G. O P. ranks. “Doc” Farrell, national representative of the klan, who has been entrusted with the work of reviving the once strong organization in Indiana, is reported to have sought out Coffin when he first came to town. Coffin Recommends O’Nan Coffin, unwilling to pass up a political chance, is reported to have recommended William A. O'Nan, reputedly a former active klansman. as “just the man for Farrell to line up with.” O'Nan is said to have gone about the business of reviving the klan and to have connected it with politics to such an extent that he and Doc Farrell parted ways. O'Nan, it is reported, took over the Golden Eagle Republican Club, Inc., settled in the regular Republican rooms in the People’s Bank building, and began work actively in the interest of Walter Pritchard for mayor. Farrell is then reported to have interested himself actively in the race of George Denny for mayor. Although Farrell has stated in several instances, it is said, that while the klan will not put out a slate on primary day, word will be passed down the line to his ward and precinct workers as to whom he has put the “o. k." on. Golden Eagles to Meet The latest Golden Eagle flare comes in the form of a circular bearing the picture of a red cross in the red beams of light coming from the cross are the words, “Fiery Cross on High.” Below, printed in black, are the words: “Golden Eagles, remember the meeting Saturday night. Candidate Cal House. Sec.” When the Golden Eagle organization was incorporated Cal E. House was listed as a vice-president. He is a candidate for Center township trustee, carrying the Coffin stamp of approval and certain to be slated. The klan has been thrust full force into the fight for the judgeship nomination of superior court five. There are nine Republican candidates for this bench, two of them Jewish lawyers, Saul I. Rabb and Charles J. Karabell. Judgeship Battle Waged Karabell originally was listed in the incorporation papers of the Golden Eaglej as a member of the advisory board and his opponents openly charge and produce sworn statements to support their allegations that Karabell has visited “Doc” Farrell's offices in klan headquarters. Although the Bar Association vote recently favored Homer Elliott, it is reported that the regular Republican organization, in seeking to balance their ticket for the fall election, prefers to have a Jewish candidate on the ticket, and Rabb is said to be the favorite. Rabb and William Miller have been active as attorney-investigators appointed by Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox to investigate affairs of the Meyer-Kiser bank, and the reporl he and Miler filed charged numerous criminal acts and was lauded by Judge Cox. Further. Rabb has been active in behalf of the hosiery workers’ union, and both the Meyer-Kiser interests and Real Silk Company are alleged to be actively engaged in opposition to him and in Karabell's favor. Favorites Named Municipal Judge William H. Sheaffer is another Karabell advocate, along with Sol Bodner. attorney for the Real Silk and actively engaged in prosecting striking hosiery mill workers in Judge Sheaffer'.! fourt. Ed Hecker. Irvington Republican Club worker, is expected to gain the slate support for congress from the Eleventh district, with Delbert O. Wilmeth, former city judge, selected in the Twelfth because of his soldier support. William tDuke> Bain for superior court two; George A. Henry, present city councilman, for room three; Leo T. Brown, Golden Eagle favorite for room four; Lloyd Claycombe, for probate judge. Palph Spann, for criminal judge, and John Engelke. for juvenile judge, are expected to be the candidates named on the regular Republican organization slate. Hazel Oris Blackwell, for joint state representative; Edgar Hart, for county clerk, and Samuel Montgomery. for county auditor, may be included. Harry W. Collins, wiil be slaved for county treasurer, instead of the old favorite, Frank Cones. CHAIRMAN TELLS OF LEGION’S CHILD AID 182.194 Children Helped in 1933 b* Organization, Is Report. A total of 182.194 children were aided by the American Legion in 1933 at a cost of $724,537. the national executive committee of the legion was told by Milt D. Campbell, Cincinnati, national child welfare chairman.
