BUT
He las the mistaken idea that the
Klan is an organization of capital-
ists, or was organized by and for
capitalists to domineer over Labor.
No man who knows will be side-
tracked by such an argument or false
statement, but ignorance can be led
blindly on any road.
What Texas Americans should
know is that the Ku Klux Klan not
only is NOT an agency for capitalists
is not founded on capitalistic ideas,
but that it has very, very few capi-
talists in it and no one in it who is
ruled by capitalistic ideas.
Another idea prevalent in the
minds of some, is that it is not only
to worry.
But they are in our very midst.
Their temples are erected here and
we do not even tax them. Their con-
fessional is at our doors and their
Jesuits roam our streets, although
they have been swept out of every
country on earth, save this, the fair-
est one.
It has taken bloodshed and un-
daunted bravery to rid the benighted
countries of these apostles of the
Romish political church.
Will it take that same bloodshed
here or will we rise in the might of
our untrammelled vote and deport

No man sa."? one who knows AB-

The J-00 per cent American move-
ment is not directed against the few,
the negro or the Catholic as sucft
but it IS diracted against the men
vno and the plans that would even-
tuate in making these United States
a mat for the Pope of Rome to wipa

There are those who believe the
Klan is composed of outlaws and
stands for outlawry, and yet there
is not a more steadfast band on

Wounded In Muskogee
Outwardly, the little city was as
quiet as though nothing had happen-
ed. Occasionally groups of two or
three persons gather in front of the
dry fcoods store to point out the bul-
let holes that were left after the fight
but the ma'u interest was in the min-
ers' election ther.e for the town is in
the heart of the mine fields.

tinued today with both Constable
Davis and Deputy Sheriff Roscoe
Bean working on it anl so far, neith-
cr has loarnc-d the whereabouts nt
George Frew cr Homer Pennequir.s,
who were injured in the fight.
At Spelter City it seem to be a mat-
ter of general knowledge that the
•nen are in a hospital at Muskogee,
though this has been denied.
Klan Not Yet Connected
Dr. W. C. Sanderson of Henryetta,
who says he was called shortly after
the fight to perform an operation on
Frew, but who denies that he did so,
said today that it was his under-
standing that the men were taken
to Muskogee.
Other reports said that they were
in an Okmulgee hospital, but these
could not be verified.
Assistant County Attorney L. D.
Williams at Henryetta said tonight
that he has not gone into the case
far enough yet to determine whether
members of the ku klux klan played
any part in the crime, but that such
an investigation will be made.

REV. It. M. BRIDGES
FACTS IN HIS CASE
It is doubtful if there has ever
been a medicine endorsed by so many
ministers of the Gospel as has Tanlac.
Indeed, there is scarcely a faith, creed
or denomination In all the land in
which one, oT more, of the clergymen
has not publicly expressed their In-
debtedness to the Premier Prepara-
tion for the benefits they have de-
rived from its use.
One of the latest to speak out in
this connection is Rev. B. M. Bridges,
a widely known and beloved Baptist
preacher, residing at Mooresboro, N.
C.., whose statement follows:
"Tanlac has given me a good ap-
petite, toned up my system and re-
newed my strength in such a grati-
fying way that I am glad to recom-
mend it to anyone who Is in a run-
down condition. For ten years past
I have had such a severe case of in-
digestion that I could not find any-
thing to eat that agreed with me.
Finally I became very nervous and
could get but very little sleep or rest.
"It seems that I took nearly ev-
erything trying to get myself right,
but nothing helped me until I ran
across Tanlac. My nerves are so
much better now that my sleep Is
sound and refreshing. I enjoy my
meals and have also gained weight.
I can say from experience that Tan-
lac is a splendid medicine and tonic
for it has built me up wonderfully."
Tanlac is sold by all good drui-
gists.—Adv. 11-4-22

SAME OLD STORY BUT A GOOD
ONE.
Mr3. Mahala Burns, Savanna, Mo.,
relates an experience, the like of
which has happened in almost every
neighborhood in this country, and
has been told and related by thou-*
Rands of others, as follows: "I used
a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic and
Diarrhoea Remedy about nine year3
ago and it cured me of flux (dysen-
tery). I had another attack of the
name complaint three or four years
ago and a few doses of this remedy
cured me. I have recommended it
to dozens of people since I first used
it and shall continue to do so for i
know it is a quick and positive cure
for bowel troubles."
