THOMAS HAS QUIT THE KLAN SCHOOL DIRECTOR ACCUSED OF VIOLATING HIS WHITE MAN’S OATH KLAN PROGRAM IS TOLD (IOOMAVH M(I GTEOM UNV M*VaVNV3 O£ NO» ASM BAYS XB3.1ÖNOJ George B. Thomas, member of the Portland school board, was accused of violating his obligation aa a nwa- ber of the Ku Klux Klan at the meet ing of the board Wednesday evening. In reply Mr. Thomas declared be would never be a klansman again. The question of klan membership waa raised during a heated discus sion of the award of th« architectural contract for the new Washington high school to the firm of Houghtai- ing A Dugan, the award being pro tested on the ground of the Catholic affiliations of the firm. T. F. Drake, raid to represent a body of Masons, presented the pro test saying in the course of hia re mark»: "Both members of the firm of Houghtaling & Dugan hav« at least brts affiliated with the Knights of Columbus in the past—an organi zation that ia and has been unalter ably opposed to the public schools. I need not remind you that the com pulsory school bill was fought by every force the Catholic hierarchy could command.” He also charged that Thomas had voted for the award because of his soreness over his recent defeat for the city commiraionerahip. During the colloquy a spectator asked permission to question Mr. Thomas. On hia request being granted he said: “Is Mr. Drake a klansman?” "Yes, sir,” replied Director Thomas. “You have violated a solemn obli gation,” returned the questioner, “a thing no white man would do. You are not a klansman.” “No, and I never will be again," said Mr. Thomas. ANNOUNCES KLAN PROGRAM The Rev. Dr. Oscar Haywood na tional lecturer for the ku klux klan and general evangelist of the Calvary Baptist church, New York city, has announced that when the klan com pletes its organization in New York the cry will be: “On to Canada.” From there and the British Isles, the lec turer said have come 500 or more re quests for membership in the secret organization, and so the invisible empire will seek to spread its domain over the civilized world. An inter national ku klux is announced aa the next plan of the masked mystery. British Columbia Anxious Victoria, B. C.—Reported activities of the ku klux klan in the interior of British Columbia, particularly in the neighborhood of Cranbrook, were being investigated Saturday by pro vincial police under orders from At torney-General Masson. Public notice of the proposed or ganization of a branch of the klan at Cranbrook by H. Moncroft, of the Canadian division of the order, with the object of “enforcing law and order,” resulted in immediate action by provincial authorities. “We are not going to permit any one to step in here to undertake the enforcement of law and order,” the attorney-general announced. Washington, D. C.—(N. C. W. G)— Semi-official announcement that the president will not issue a proclama tion directing the Ku Klux Kian to disband, as urged last week by Sena tor David I. Walsh in a letter to At torney-General Daugherty, has not dispelled the impression that the pres sure of circumstances will soon induce the administration to take a decided stand against further extension of the sovereignty of the invisible empire within the United States. The presi dent’s opinion, it is authoritatively stated, is that violations cf the law attributable to the klan constillute a “local iatue” which could properly be met by the local authoritiee. In ad dition. it is intimated that the chief executive is doubtful of the efficacy of presidential proclamations in cases of thia nature. Urges Legislation Almost coincident with the publica tion of Senator Walsh's letter to the attorney - general, Representative Harry B. Hawes of Missouri intro duced a bill in the house designed to curb the spread of Ku Klux propa ganda through the mails. If this bill become« a law it will prohibit the sending of anonymous letters or post cards through the mails except when addressed to a law enforcement offl- (Continued on Page 2.)
