There has been a persistenl effort on

'Any one who will read the names of the
delegates will see that the larger part of
them are men who have been always mere

choice of the lay as well as of the official
members of the regular organization. After

Why? Because Col. Rogers voted
against the enforcement Act, which
Act gives the President power to put
down theiku klux and protect innocent
and defenseless people. Col. Rogers
expects the support of every ku klux
in the district. When he voted against
the passage of the enforcement Act,
he voted to license outrage and mur
der. He dared not vote for it ; had
he done so he would have sealed his
doom as the

who has heretofore belonged to the
Democratic party will be free and un

There are more men ol this ehaj-acter
