TV HUB UV VUV, m ua iuhuj nui uo,
announced at the Saturday meet
In that Glfford would be the
"progressive" candidate for the
' treasury Job, the atmosphere was
heavily tainted with odors of that
cent, and the deduction that the
cyclops would seek to capitalize
tils klan affiliations and avowed
sympathy for antl-Catholie and
anti-alien legislation in a political
way was not hard to make.
StaecJ for the Public
Saturday's itu kluxing feastlvi
ties reminded one strongly of the
eeremonies incident to the formal
opening of a dry goods emporium,
where the perfected organization
has been functioning for several
days and the grand opening Is
staged simply as a suitable means
of announcing to the dear public
that they have something to sell
that "no home can afford to be
without."
With true Ku Kluz instinct
Norman S. Richards, at one time
attorney for . the Northwestern
fclectrlc company, the firm from
which Gifford was Injected into
klan power, opened the meeting
by reminding the 200 klansmen
and 100 curious onlookers present
that the failure of the original
progressive party was due to tli
lack of money and that the resur
rected party would netd money.
Here and there in the audience
loyal brothers who had evidently
beard words similar to those be
fore began to fldgit, and Richards
hastened to add:
"Of course, we will not need a
great deal of money right away;
Just enough to care for our office
and Incidental expenses. A dollar
from each member ought to be
enough for the present. But I, for
one, will pay whatever Mr. Cleaver
says will be necessary, he. mo
tioned toward the party secretary
seated before him.
Officer Hand Picked.
Mr. Richards explained that he
was both the temporary and per
manent chairman of the reborn
progressive party of Oregon, that
George L. Cleaver had been made
secretary, and that he, Mr. Cleav
er and Mr. Glfford comprised the
general committee that would or
ganize the party, call the county
and state conventions and run
things generally. Something,
however, prompted him to add
that every member of the party
would have an equal voice In the
election of the candidates en
dorsed by the party and In fram
ing the platform to be adopted at
the state convention.
While he did not take the time
to explain In detail the manner In
which he bad . been chosen to
peak for the pany, or how the re
organization had been accomplish
ed so quietly through the state,
Mr. Kicnaras pointed out that
there are now 5000 progressives
in Oregon who, awake to the cry
ing need for a third party in the
nation's politics, were preparing
to take an active part in the na
tional political campaign In 1924.
With that single assertion the In
ference that the movement was
not wholly a scheme to inject new
factors Into state politics was
dropped. National politics were
not mentioned again during the
entire afternoon.
Pull Ticketi Probable.
As he progressed with his key
no tl tig it was quite evident that
Mr. Richards sometimes forgot his
lines. His declaration that tn.
progressive would place only one
candidate on the. state ticket this'
tall, for state treasurer, prompted

"it is the intention of the commit-1
tee to endorse a full ticket forj
state offices."
Heralded in the press announce
ments of last week as being a 1
meeting for the revival of the old '
- progressive party, It became evl-
aent early in the session Saturday
that the purpose had been mis-,
stated. When the would-be or-j
ganlzera arrived they found them-1
elves, or their party already
quite effectively organized and of-;
fleered. Their fun enlightenment i
came with the reading of the mln-j
utes of two previous meetings by
Secretary Cleaver, who followed
Mr. Richards on the floor. Omit
ting such minor details as who
called the meetings, where they I
were held, or by whom attended,
the minutes revealed that the pro
gressive party bad been reorgan
ised at a meeting held early in
April and that at that time It bad
been decided to bold another meet
ing on August , that Mr. Rich
ards had been made temporary
chairman, Mr. Cleaver temporary
secretary and that they, together
with Mr. Glfford, bad been ap
pointed as a temporary committee
to administer the affairs of the
party.
Officers Made Permanent.
Reading of the minutes of the
August meeting gave the in
formation that the temporary of-1
fleers and VominlBte bad been j
made permanent; that the com
mittee bad been authorized to:
make up a ticket to be presented ;

would call for the suppression o

plea for the moral and financial

"Is the state In danger by rea

Wagnon asked Richards with an

Richards sought to evade giv

that the endorsing of candidate!

bora would have a voice in those
deliberations.
"1 came here ready to leave the

"I can't tell you now who the
