THE ONLY STAND
R
lEl'UHLICAN candidates for
governor, replying to a tines-
tlonalrn submitted by tho
Portland Qregonlan, with one ex
ception, repudiated tbo Ku Klux
Klan.
Tho exception Is Charles Hall,
wtfttfiai. Untlhu fAni Anltrlv Ka,
ti.iwav .v..,,... "i-l'i ,.-
tbo Question. He denies that ui
has any knowledge of Indorsement
,of his candidacy liy tbo Ku Klux
Klan, but "does not understand
that tho operators ot thb Ku Klux
Klan are regarded as a menace to
political freedom nnd public" safe
ty."
But Mr. Hall splits tho cocoanut
and npoMg the meat when, after
much verbal fencing, he declares
that ho "is willing to accept -and
appreciate thn support ot all good
American citltcns who approve
theiA nrincltrics fhls Dtitform)
whatever their fraternat affiliation
may be." "
Certainly there is nothing In Mr,
HiU'a statement to antagonlte the
Ku Klux vote.
It I too bad that tho other re
publican candidates should 'have
weakened their avowals of free
dom from alliance with this un-
American organization by reeking
to asperso tho motives ot Gover
nor Olcott In meeting squarely tho
issue that, was forced upon' him,
with tho couraxo that stamps him
a( a patriotic American and' a 'fear
lsa executive
Such display of petty political
Jealous? strengthens Olcott and
weakens his detractors. We could
wis. -surpuJlcan aiplranta for
the highest office in this atate,
they might have shown minds
broad enough, in the crisis, to
have laid by personal ambitions
and, merely a loyal cltiiens, sup
ported the governor of their state
to the full in his stand tor un
trammelled Americanism.
In tho heat of the battle per
baPti it Is too much to expect. We
turn with relief to tho reply of
Webster Holmes, democratic candi
date, untlngod by the prejudice ,of
political ambition. Hera Is the
analysis of n keen observer, who
seen no self-serving motives back
of Oovernor Olcott's defl to law
lessness and diserder: t
Tho question of whether thfs
Ku Klux Klan moiement Is going
to Impose Itself Into 'our state gov
ernment nnd at the sama time
proscribe every Jew, Catholic, foreign-born
and negro, is a head-on
Issue in this campaign and elec
tion. I am afraid to trust any man
who will dodgo It or is dodging IL
I feel certain that the klan Is. a
menace to both political freedom
and public safety. It tendf to"ln
tlmidate good and efficient men
from seeking office. It will ulti
mately lead to riots and blood
shed. It is an Issuo unquestionably.
I havo been told by mert rho'twere
backing Hall for governor, that ae
man who was not a CatboMc-hater,
a Jew-hater, a forelgn-bprn-hater
nnd a negro-hater stood any show
of being elected or even a' nomina
tion, 1 do not believe for a mom
ent thot the governor's proclam
ation was inspired by political am
bition.
Tho Herald wants Its readers to
conslder only facts: to base Judg
ment solely upon the truth.
Tho fact Is that Oovernor 01
cott's proclamation , against the
klan Is not a sudden and unp're
modlated action, arising from a de
s'lre to advancti hla political wel
fare, and tho records boar out this
assertion.
As oarly us last September tho
governor took cognizance ot the
situation. The organization ot the
klan was so quietly conducted that
he apprehended no' danger, ' and
considered it the beat policy to let
the movement die a quiet death,
relying upon tho sound Judgment
of the Intelligent Americanism of
Oregon to smother It. J
"Hut, maddened by desire 'for
power, with selfish men seeking of-
'flee who were willing to bo" ija
toolf, the Klan has in tlie last

KUnarnen raised the Issue. Ar-
roRantly they asserted and showed
beyond amy doubt their purpose
the soiling of the control of this
commonwealth nnd tho establish
ment of an "Invisible empire" with.'
In tho state.
with full knowledge of the sit-
ttallon and entire realltatlon of the
danger, Governor Olcott did what n
bravo and patriotic public official
must do tf true to hi. oath ot of-
urn thn nniv ihin hn pnntj iln
when tho Issue was thrust upon
. .
him iia mp ll rnnririssll- nlltl wo
believe entirely careless of bis po-
Jltlcal fortunes. Ho proved him -
self worthy of tho trust the poo -
plo of a great state reposod In
him. He met a great situation with'
a firmness that lifts him head nnd
shoulders above the men who seek
to' twist his motives to make po-:
luteal capital for thcmseUes.
In all falrnes. Governor Olcott
Is entitled to a falr weighing of hl
motives by tho electors of tho state
Wo trust that Impartli! American
Judgment will sustain him tomor-'
row at the polls.

There has been some mlsnppre

ot the county unit aplan and their

They fear thdt this will cut them
off from this apportionment Their
fears aru groundless tor this fund a
well as tho statu elomontary school
fund Is In no wise affected The onl
difference In thn matter ot taxation
will b0 the amount of special tax Ir.
the county school districts und that
will not affect Klamath Falls any
more than tho special school tax of
tho rural school districts at the
present time.
The law reads under ' Apportion
ment of County und State School
Funds" "All money recehed from
the state for use In any such county
and all county school funds of such
county shall bo apportioned by the
superintendent of tho county among
the several School districts of the

the santo Pro rata basis ns heretofore
pnnlded by law."
