THE CONCORD TIMES
KLAN LOOMS AS ISSUE
, IN THE NEXT CONGRESS
Ftght Against Seating of Mayfield, of
, Texas. Will Put Senators on Record.
Special to Philadelphia Record.
AA’ashington, D. C., Oct. 4. —Governor
AA'altou's death grapple with the Ku
Klux Klan organization in Oklahoma is
attracting keen interest in AA’ashingtom j
'especially because of. the likelihood that !
the Klan will become an issue of no j
small moment as soon as Congress re- .
assembles. # *
In the last session of Congress, follow
ing the expose of the magnitude of the
“Invisible Empire” and its “super gov- J
eminent,” one or two bills aimed at
the Klan were introduced in Congress, |
but the extreme cautiousness of the poli- j
ticians in that body caused these bids |
to be pigeonholed so as to prevent open
discussions on the floor. There seemed
to be common agreement that the Klan j
issue should be kept iu the background ,
so as not to increase the hazard of po
litical eausalties among members who
would be compelled to take sides in the .
fight.
AA’ith the convening of the new Con
gress, two months hence, the situation
will be different. The right side of Sen
ator-elect Earle R. Mayfield. Democrat,
>f Texas, to a seat in the United State
Senate is to be sharply contested, and
: an issue is certain to be drawn that will .
necessitate Senators disclosing their at- •
jtitude toward the organization.
One of the specific charges against
Senator Algyfield will be that he vio
lated the law limiting campaign expendi
tures. An effort will be made to show ,
1 he Ku Klux Klan spent approximately 1
530.000 in his behalf, and under prece-'
' lents established in other oasis, if this
: -barge i«? substantiated, the Texas Sena
tor will be held responsible for the acts
>f his agents. It is true that this prin- |
;?iple was. somewhat upset by the Senate
vote favorable to Senator Newberry, of
Michigan, but the result in that case
was manifestly due to the heavy pres- '
sure from the AA’hite House, which
caused many Republican Senators so
vote contrary to their own convictions,
end Newberry was compelled to bow to
he force of public opinion and resign. ,
Different From Newberry Case.
The circumstances jn the Texas ease
ire somewhat different, but the south (
nent against seating a Senator who may
>e affiliated with an organization which
ias attempted to override the law in
many States may prove strong enough
to defeat and unseat Mayfield if a legal !
•aso can be made against him.
Prior to the death of President Hard
'ng the case against Alayfie’.d had been
iretty well worked tip. H. B. Creager.'
Republican National Committeeman from
Texas and an old friend of Harding. •
nade a number of visits to AA’ashingtou
before Congress adjourned Alareh 4th. j
It was understood that the groundwork '
was laid for the Mayfield fight during
hose visits, and that Harding and Ad
ninistration Republicans in the Senate
would co-ojierate to wage a successful
iglit to oust Atayfield. Harding's influ J (
*nce was wanted to keep wabbling Sen- ,
itors of the administration group on line
,vith the anti-Alayfield element.
George E. B. Peddy was the Republi- j
•an candidate for the Senate in Texas,
ind owing to the strong anti-Klan spnti- j
nent among Democrats in that state j
here was a party division which gave (
lie Republican nominees the support of I
i considerable element of Democrat*,
‘f Mayfield is ousted, the Republicans
will again try to elect Peddy in the'
special election which would be called. .
but if a candidate not affiliated with the
Klan is nominated by the Democrats it '
s not likely that would
nise much dust in Texas.
The fight centering around Alayfield’s
bilberson for so many years is expected
so be extremely bitter. His alleged
Klan affiliations will inevitably become
the chief target of the fire of his oppo
nents and the campaign expenditures
luestion will probably be minimized.
From the nature of the contest, it will
not be a party vote which will determine
the outcome.
In the Newberry case, except in the
ease of six or eight Progressive Repub
’icaiis not amenable 'to administration
pressure, all of the votes to sustain New
berry came from the Republican side
and the Democrats were lined up solidly
against him. with the expection of tire
'ate Senator "Tom" AA’atson. of Georgia,
who did not vote. In the Mayfield
contest, if his Klan affiliations are prov
en, there will be a number of Demo
cratic Senators who would be inclined to
vote to unseat him regardless of any other
•onsiderations involved.
The Klan lias claimed that its mem
bership included sevenal United States
Senators. This is not generally credited
in AA’ashingtou. although the hooded or
ganization Is N not without representation
in she lower of Congress. A
majority of the Texas delegations are al
leged to be members, and the claim is
neither denied nor affirmed. The Klan
is known to have much strength
than it claims in high places in AA’ash
invton.
Politicians in the national capitol be
lieve that the Klan as an issue in the
next Presidential campaign is inevitable,
unless Governor AA’altou's fight in Ok
lahoma put a quietus on the masked or
ganization. That a plank condemning
it will be offered in both national con
ventions appears certain at this tune.
