THE KU JCLUX KLAN,
Police Officials, Mayors, Reve
nue Officers and Others En
dorse Knights of the Ku Kiux.
On last Thursday evening at 7
o’clock there was something mys
terious and at the same time thrill
ing appeared on the streets of Mc-
Donough. About the hour above
mentioned some one spied three
objects approaching the square
from the direction of the court
house, marching under “Old Glo
ry,” carrying an illuminated cross
and a cornet. When the Confect
erate monument was reached they
halted and blew a signal from the
cornet, and immediately from an>
direction you might look you
could see other white robed Ku
Klux coming to the rendezvous.
These robed figures then paraded
the streets of town, returning to
the monument, and then marched
to the Masonic hall.
The following extracts will show
clearly the motives and purposes
of this celebrated and mysterious
organization :
Law enforcement officers, state
and national, Congressmen, minis
ters, mayors, and a host of other
prominent citizens from every sec
tion of the country have emphat
ically answered critics of the Ku
Klux Klan by unqualified endorse
ment of the organization and the
principles on which it is founded.
Among these endorsements, one
of the most notable is that from
Bishop Fitzpatrick, of the African
Meth. Episcopal Church, whose
signed letter to Col. Wm. J Sim
mons, imperial wizard of Knights
of the Ku Klux Kian, gives the lie
to those enemies of the organiza
tion who assert the Klan is the
enemy of the negro and is seek
ing to create racial prejudice. Ex
tracts from some of these endorse
ments are given herewith:
From Congressman Wm. D. Up
shaw, of the Fifth Georgia Dis
trie!: “If anybody doubts the
patriotic purpose of the reincar
nated Ku Klux Klan, or questions
the wisdom of its organization, he
has but to read the press report of
the recent speech of Col Wm. .1
Simmons, imperial wizard, in the
Atlanta theater. Packed to stand
ing room even in the gallerjes,
that great throng sat or stood for
three hours, listening the wonder
fully interesting story of the ‘birth
and re birth of the Ku Klux Klan.’
It was a fascinating, inspiring mes
sage —a message of love and loy
alty, of beauty and bravery, of
patriotism and purpose, of human
interest and uncringing heroism,
of community peace and even
handed justice, of Anglo Saxon
achievement and unhindered An
glo-Saxon guardianship of the
South’s best ideals and the Na
tion’s h ghest happinc ss.”
From J T. Moore, chief of po
lice, and J. L. Couch, mayor of
Columbus, Ga.: “I take this meth

od of endorsing the Ku Klux Klan.
1 am personally acquainted with
many of the citizens of this city
who are members of the local
Klan, and I know them to be citi
zens whose integrity is above re
proach, and law-abiding in every
respect. Seventeen members of
this Klan volunteered their serv
ices and assisted the police depart
ment during a recent epidemic of
burglaries. They did good work,
and their services were appreci
ated by the police commissioners
and myself. 1 think an oganiza
tion like the Ku Klux Klan is a
blessing in any community.” “ I
heartily endorse the above.” —J. L.
Couch, mayor of Columbus. Ga.
From E. S. Garner, Sheriff of
Gwinnett County, Ga.: “1 do not
believe the Ku Klux was to blame
for the recent lawlessness in Gwin
nett and had nothing to do with
intimidating negroes My best in
formation is that the Ku Klux Klan
is trying to discover the guilty
parties in order to bring them to
justice. I believe the Ku Klux
Klan is seeking to aid law enforce
ment.”
From D. «J. Gantt, Federal su
pervising prohibition enforcement
agent for the Southern States,
with headquarters in Atlanta : “ 1
feel that I have the support of the
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in
enforcing my part of the law —the
prohibition part.”
From J. D. McMillan, prominent
Florida banker, at Winter Garden:
“ The Ku Klux Klan stands for law
and order, only ; intimidates no
one ; had no part in recent race
riot. Members stood guard thro’
three long nights protecting lives
and property in our colored sec
tion. Klan helps law in every case
where help is needed, and co-ope
rates with officers when desired.”
From Bishop I. N. Fitzpatrick,
African Methodist Church • “As
the president of the Colored Law
and Order League (a chartered
institution) 1 write tp thank you
for the sympathy and kindness
shown me by you when at your
office last week. Allow me to say
that my heart swallowed with
gladness when von told me of the
purpose of the Ku Klux Klan or
ganization, not becituse 1 am ex
pecting benefits myself, but for
the great principles that underlie
the organization. God bless you
and your co workers. I will call
Monday as you told me to do.
May the blessings of God rest
upon you and yours is my sincere
prayer.” W. J. SIMMONS,
Imperial Wizard,
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
