A GOLD BRICK PROPOSITION,
FOOLISH. Afli' vy
Gavernor Bickctt Characterizes the ,
Loyal Order of Klansmen . Which
Is Being Promoted by Extensive'
Advertising.. I
A gold brick proposition, transpar-,
-ently impossible, very foolish and des-
perately wicked is Governor Bickett s;
.1 i.f. f k. Ijival Order of
aenniiciawun
Xlansmen, an organization being pro
moted by extensive advertising which,
according to information reaching
the Governor has caused considera
ble alarm amongst the thoughtful
wonlo nf both races.
Convinced of all this, Governor
ickett sees in the whole scheme an
appeal to race prejudice. In a state
ment to the people of North Caroli
na, he is urging them t0 fron upon
any attempt to capitalize that pre
judice. With display advertisements, the
Loyal Order of Klansmen m putting
before the people its claims for
members, and contained in thoss ad.
vertisements and in the literature
of the order are the skull and cross
bones, stamped about with the words
"Kb Klux Klan." A description of
the character of the order puts it
down as "social, fraternal, military,
patriotic and protective A South
ern Order for Southern Gentlemen."
But Governor Bickett insists that it
is trying to underwrite the govern-
' ment of the State and of the Unit
cd States.
According to the propaganda of the
Loyal Order of Klansmen, is was or
ganized in 1248 by the Scotch people;
combined in 1492 with the Irish; or
ganized first in America in 1806;
prominent in 1812 when the Mexicans
. ersdriven across the border; and
In 1868 it saved the Southland.
A local range of the Loyal Order
of Klansmen is proposed for Raleigh
and it is announced
General Texas A. B. Ritchie, who
pulled automobiles around by his

er his head in a demonstration of
physical roughness at an automo
bile show in Raleigh a year or more
ago, will be in Raleigh Thursday
and Friday, July 3 and 4, for consul
tation over the matter.
"Running through the whole
scheme", says Gov. Bickett in his
statement, "is a wicked appeal to
race prejudice. There is a hark back
