says. “We shall push our light to
the end through pitiless publicity
and political battle.”
When Mayfield ran for the Sen

he was a klansman, that the klan

that he had addressed klan gather*

But when Mayfield was asked to
come out flpt-footedly on the Ku
Klux issue he said that it had no
place In his campaign, declaring
his issue was the repeal of the
Esch-Cummins railway legislation.
He repeatedly refused to state hiB
position on .the klan.
Later Mayfield asserted he had
been a member of the Austin klan,
but that he had resigned in Janu
ary, 1921.
James E. Ferguson, Mayfield’s
anti-klan opponent, declared dur
ing the Texas campaign that high
officials of the klan had written
ters endorsing Mayfield and declnr
Ing he was a klansman in good
standing long after that date.
Seven western senators who can
not now lie named have pledged
themselves tn demand that Mpy-

WASHINGTON — MIs s Hazel
Hite, of Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Dayton and other Ohio points, has
shouldered the job of “putting
across" the National League of
Women Voters fourth annual con
vention at Des Moines, April 9-14.
Heretofore, it is explained.
League leaders wno were sche
duled direct the actual work of
the conventions have been worn to
a frazzle in advance by $lie neces
sity of themselves looking after
all the arrangements details. Wo
men orators, expected to sway
the conventions with their elo
quence, have mounted the platform
hoarse and exhausted from the
strain of arguing .pleading and co
ercing baggagemen, printers, hotel
manugers, decorators .entertain
ment! committees and all the doz
ens of others whose efforts are
necessary for a convent.on’s suc
cess.
WHAT THEY
MEANT. .
the
ALBANY, Oa.—Permanent or
ganlzation of the. Georgia Peanut
Growers co-operative marketing
association formed here Friday will
be perfected by executives appoint
ed at a huge farmers meeting ad
dressed by Aaron Sapiro, market
ing expert. "Hundreds of planters,
business men an dothers interested
in the future of one of Georgia’s
leading erops attended.
The legal plans have been placed
•with Colonel R. E. L. Spence,
chairman; Jas. W. Morton, presi
dent of the Farm Bureau Federa
harge under the corrupt prac T . r „ ...
ticesart. Thus, since Mayfield Is £52.*1;.“‘"t t £St
i Democrat, the Democrats will
have mi their hands ft parallel to
Hu- rase of Senator Newberry, Re-
I'jliliVun. of Michigan,
"Wp claim that because of 'May-
(plil's alleged membership in the
Ku Klux Klan and because of the
hlanendorsement of his election,
le rannot take the oath of a sena
tor,Rutledge says.
"We believe this la so because
every klansman. Is..awom hot to
reveal anything corictrnlngthb ac-
tions of n brother klansmafi aftl
because the so-called klan kralt
tenets innke every Ku.Klnxer an
en.my to the religious and other
freedom of American citizens guar
wired under the constitution.”

v- BALTIMORE, Md*—A- .luJy. 'in'
superior court'hepo Friday thought
Mrs. Hagerty was humiliated to
such an extent that they awarded
her 1600 more than she asked in
her suit against tsador Lakeln, n
jeweler. Mrs. Hagerty alleges she
purchased a ring from Lakejn and
when aho went to the establish
ment to tell him It was not what it
was guaranteed to be, she was
■cdected forcibly. She sued for
61,080 and was awarded 81,600.
