Senior Senator, However, Denies
Statements in Document Be
ing Shown by Hardwick
ATLANTA, Sept. B.—Politicians
here are discussing today a nex.s
story sent out from Atlanta last
night by John W. Hammond con
taining tr.e statement that “the
whole State of Georgia is interest
eo in a letter purporting to show
that Senator W. J. Harris is a
member of the Invisible Empire, of
the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan,
which, it is reported, is being shown
by former Senator Hardwick’s cam
paigners in various parts of the
State.”
The letter, it is stated in the
Hammond story, was shown Satur
day at a mass meeting in Gaines
ville, with the name of the exalted
cyclops to whom it had been ad
dressed deleted. The text of the
letter as given by Hammond fol
lows:
“Atlanta, Ga., Haynes Building,
“March 16, 1922.
E. C.
“Cedartown Klan, No. 21,
“Cedartown, Georgia.
“My dear Klansman:
“Replying to your inquiry of the
10th inst., beg to advise that Hon.
W. J. Harris, A. K. I. A., is our
devoted friend and should bo
given every consideration possible,
the matter to which you refer, will
be given the most careful attention
at once, upon receipt of reports in
question will advise you further.
“Mr. F. L. Savage will immedi
ately see that this mitter is dis
posed of without delay.
“Very truly yours,
“ELIZABETH TYLER.”
Hardwick speakers who display
ed the missive it was said here to
day, explained the mysterious let
ters “A. K. I. A.” which appear
after the name of Senator Harris
therein to mean “A Klansman I
Am.’’
The charge that he is a Klans
man is denied emphatically by
friends of Senator Harris, who him
self declared when informed of tne
Tyler letter:
“I have never seen or met Eliza
beth Tyler.” “I have never writ
ten her a line, or received one from
her. As for F. L. Savage, whose
name is mentioned, I have never
heard of or from him, or seen him.
people of Georgia under
stand and members of the Ku Klux
Klan know that p am not now, nor
have ever been a member of the
organization or affiliated with it'.
I have been informed by men who
say they are members, that they
approve nty work to restrict ini
'migration, which work began prior
to the exisence of the organization.
As is well-known, my record on
immigration is approved by the
American Legion and at least 98
per cent of the people of Georgia.
I am surprised that Mr. Hard
wick would stoop so low as to read
and circulate in the closing hours
ot his campaign, an alleged letter
upon which he deliberately places a
ialse interpretation.”

Leopold, thc frozen man of a

hopeless eagerness now. He tries
to make friends with the cheap
thief who shares his cell.
“I want to live, to live, to live!
That’s all—just live,” the killer

A pitiful thing has been arrang

His duty will be to telephone the
