Tiu speaker was presented by State Organizer Neenl, who made the dosing tialk, and declared that he was not in the business to make money, that the organization had a lui per klan here than many persons think, and that he would be glad to txp!ain the principles of the invis ible empire fully to Americans who ure interested.

The speaker also (isliked the press, which he said was controlled absolutely by Catholics and ':.iews and he delivered most of his iam munition against the JewB.
