"What we need in Harrow county is
to create a scutiment against Ku Klux i

Governor Hardwick at a conference held '
yesterday in Atlanta. "That is why I
we intend to keep on having a citizens

I wen- the two questions wlljch brought 0,
cl.ish of view, when the meeting was
(thrown open to debate .shortly before
' midnight aftr an address by Governor
Ol-ott, of Oregon, in which he asoailed
; t he klan as a national menace,
j Governor Muriison, o North Carolina,
taking the iloor, declared he opposed in
' t roducl ion into the cfinfereiice of either
'the klan or piohibilioii rpu-fct ions, which
; prev ioiisly had been brought lip by (loV
ii i iior I'aiki r, of Louisiana, in an ad'ki-KS
i i uhiih in- declared juoliibitiou wa al
i i o.si a farce ami that the khin should
I - curbed by federal legislari',!!. As
it'vo of 11 touchiest ' ' questions be-
I . ii i - thr country, Govriiiof Morrison
'sii , h opposed their i-oiisiderati"ll at
i a conference which he believed should
; lc devo'id to an exchange of ideas on
I tin- administrative duties of governors,
j I'artiiularly did he object, Mr. Mor
rison said, to Governor I'n rkcr ' proposal
; I hat tii- conference adopl resolutions on
'tliese questions, or any re.AiltitiollH look
ing toward uniform h-gisl.-tt ion of a piw
'li.-e charaiter. At this point Governor

parting from its policy against adoptin

I .- legi dateil out of existence but i-ouhl
I.- met affectively only by argument. As
t i Governor Talker's assertion that pro
hibition was not being enforced and his
opinion that the sale of light wine ailil
I ..er slinuld be permitted under govern
nient regulation of its manufacture and
distribution, Mr. Morrison said he was
astonished" at what he described n
the Louisiana, governor's willingness t
surrender to the " lavvnessiiess among
aiiti-prohibitioiiists" on. the one haul
ami his desire to fight what he conceiv
ed lo ,e lawlessness ill the klan on tho
n'lii r. Governor Talker rejoined that ha
did not conceive his attitude on prohibi
tion to he a yielding to la wnessi-ss.
"While he did not mean to defend tho
kian ami deplored its possible danger !
lie country in arousing the spirit of re
I gions intolerance and racial feeling.
Governor Morrison said he could relate
i.ianv acts o f benevolence attributed to
(ii, secret organization. '
Taking up Mr. Morrison's assertion
that the vvuv to meet the klnn was fa-'e
to face iii argument. Governor Kilbv, of
Alabama, asked how it was possible ti
argue vvith a masked man. Mr. Morrison
r-plied that highwaymen were masked
i at that the state s knew hovv to argue
