Growth Of Ku Klux Klan Makes It National Issue Ami Outlook Now N Tliat Neither of llic I5i? I'arlit-* Will 1)?- AI?lo to Si<li>t<-p It in l-'oi-iiMilutiiig I'lat lorin for N'p\t ^ car's (.ainpai^n Itv 1?.\VII> i..\\vkk\< i: Ca?yri?M IV2J th# Oally A??jh*M Washington, Sept. 2o.?The Ku KIux Klan issue will in evitably be an issue before the Republican and Democratic na tional conventions. Politicians reluctantly have come to that conclusion after re ceiving reports from various parts of the union. It will be agitated not by those who favor the principles of Kii Kluxism but by those "whooppos" the Idea. And naturally the opponent* will not be permitted to have tilings their own way for both conventions will number among their delegates ZICU "*"H actually affiliated 7^lth the Ku Klux Klan. ? The difficulty of. avoiding or side stepping Issue has been fully d48Ctl&8ed in the Inner councils of political leaders, but It seems appar ent that the various people who are oppqped to the Ku Klux Klan will demand denunciatory resolutions as the price of their continued support. The situation in the Republican party arises out of the fact that the Republloan vote In some of the pivotal Northern states has been in creased since 1920 by hundreds of thousands of negro, votcrfr"Who have migrated Northward. They are de manding that the Republican party denounce not only lynch law but all forms of tawlessness and all opera tions of secret, oath-bound organiza tions. The Democratic party receives much of Its support in the populous states of New York. , Massachusetts. New Jersey, where Catholic societies are well organized and can wield considerable political power. The party that denounces the K. K. K., will make a strong bid for the Irish Catholic vote which was strong enough in 1920 to swing several states on the league of Nations is sue, for instance,-which so many of the lrishJAmerlcans violently oppos ed. The fact that the Irish Cath olic vote will leave the Democratic party If the issue Is serious enough has been demonstrated with suffi cient proof to make the Democratic leaders wary about Ignoring that element In the party. The K. K. K. Issue Is so much a factor already that it may even have! an influence on the choice of candl-1 dates. There are rumors, for in- i stance, that friends of Senator Oscar Underwood are urging him to take ' the leadership in opposing the Ku Klux Klan, contending that since he comes from the South his opposition] will be evn more welghtly than, might Otherwise l>e the case. The growth of the Ku Klux Klan in the three years since the 1920 convention has been so widespread that political leaders ha\'e no bails' of comparison with other v.-ir?. There are always movements In every convention to denounce things but tho Ku Klux Klan in 1920 was relatively a negligible factor in na tional politics. Should an effort b' made in thg-platform committees of either party to squelch the question without any expression whatsoever. It seems certain tli. t the will J he raised from the floor. Reports' received by some of-tb.? party leaders, here Indicate that both political par ties will be chal'.enr^d to say some thing on the subject which will in substance seek to compel the Ku Klux Klan to thro*-/ >ff its mask and conduct its cu'na).i'*.H In the "p<n like other social, political or religi ous organiz t ion: ROVING MKXIt'AXS MAY HEAD El Paso, Texas, Sept. 26 ?
