Engineers"Frame-up

Against Pace

The Wayne county branch of the Kn Kluz Klan has taken a hand In poli

tics.

The Klan has its own slate of can

didates for county office, selected from

both Republican and Democratic nom

inees, and, furthermore, it has a cam

paign "slush.' fund, which, political weapon was supposed to have been rendered obsolete several years ago

with the enactment of, the Indiana cor rupt practice law.

The "slush land was provided by voluntary subscriptions from Klan

members.

The Klan'a political activities In

Wayne county are directed by a com

mittee or seven members, all promi

nent ciuzens possessing a thorough

juiowieage oi pontics.

Engineers "Frame Up" The Klan entered tha nnlitical ram

palgn in Wayne county as early as the

jauer pari or September when it engineered a "frame up" against a candidate who appears to be particularly obnoxioos to the organization, one James F. Pace, Democratic nominee for prosecuting attorney. The "frame up" against Pace resulted in his arrest on the charge of having liquor on his person. . Pace wa3 recently brought to trial in Wayne circuit court but the jury disagreed. Announcement has been made that Pace will later be arraigned on the same charge. The liquor which was "found" on Pace was placed in one of his pockets by a Klan agent at the same time Pace was seized by two police officers. This incident occurred. Sept 29. Twice before that date Klan agents attempted to trap Pace, by calling at his office and attempting to induce him to drink "mule" urith them TVm f!i ;

- UD lilDV 11U1C Pace drove the Klansmen out of his office at the point of a revolver. The second attempt to. "frame" him came four days later when three colored men, employed by the Klan, entered his office. They told him if he wanted their support that he would have to drink with them. He seized one of the men and shoved him out of the door. The other two followed their ejected companion without delay. . . Subject of Attacks. Beginning at the time he announced

ms eanaiaacy tor tne .Democratic nomination for prosecutor, last spring, Pace has been the subject of frequent anonymous attacks, but an investlgat tion has failed to reveal the iuthent- - icity of charges reflecting on his character. He is foreign-born, but has lived in this country since five years of age and is an American citizen. He completed his law education in the offices of a reputable Indianapolis attorney before he came to Richmond to practice his profession. He served as an enlisted man in the 148th infantry, 37th division, during the war and par

ticipated in the Meuse ana Argonne offensives, leaving the army after the

armistice witn an excellent record. William Eversman. chief of nolire

is responsible for the statement that he has no evidence, which would be held valid in court, connecting Pace

witn any violation or the liquor laws. Ambitious for Klan

An investigation reveals that quite

a rew men wno nave neen active political workers, both Republicans and Democrats, including several who hold county and city offices, are identified with the Klan. - It is these men who are particularly ambitious to make the Klan a powerful political organization. It may be stated that Mayor Lawrence Handley, of Richmond, is not a member of tne Klan, but certain members of his administration are said to be identified with it: Although the Klan has no colored members, the organization has been using its "slush" fund to pay thre3

Richmond colored men to influence; the colored vote to support candidates who have the Indorsement of the Klan. The "slush" fund is handled by a committee of three, high in the councils of thp Klan. Will Meet Tonight A meeting of the Klan is scheduled for Friday night near Pennville, and thp usual attendance of those who bear cards indicating that they are members of the "Mutual Life Insurance Company of Washington" is anticipated. It H probable, however, that a majority of the members of the Klan's "preferred list' will be present. The preferred list includes members who are particularly well known and who have bpen suspected of being Klansnien. To shield the preferred ones it is customary for the majority of them to dicntav themselves in nuhlio nlar-es

on nights when ghostly figures gather beneath the fiery cross in some rural

retreat.

Members deny their membership in thp Klan rn tha trround that thp real

name of the organization 'is the Mutu

al Life Insurance company or ashington and all membership cards bear

tnis title, in tnis way statements and affidavits can be made which cover up their membership, by denying Klan connections.

THREE GIRLS KILLED,

MANY HURT IN BLAZE IN CELLULOID PLANT

DONAHEY'S SCHOOL

POLICIES ARE SCORED (By United Press) COSHOCTON, Ohio. Nov. 3. Gover

nor, Harry L. Davis, in a speech here, charged Vic Donahey with openly endeavoring to take from the youth of

Ohio, the benefits of educational ad

vantages they now possess. He scored the Democratic candidate as heinsr

completely out of sympathy . with Ohio's established purpose to put schooling within the reach of all. Davis quoted from Donahey's speech at Canton Tuesday, in which Donahey criticized policies that permitted an increase in the direct state tax levy, and repeated his determination to do away with levies for welfare, institutional and state university buildings. ' "This attitude." said the governor "shows his unfitness to administer the affairs of the state, which demand broad-minded comprehension of the state's duty to its citizenship. No boy or girl should lack the opportunity to get the best education desired."

were killed, three more are reported
