There is no grayer issue before this convention or before the American people than this klan issue, and It has to be settled here so Ar as the deoc ratio party is concerp-ed.
Senator Underwood made public a copy of his anti-Klan plank, which will be introduced in the convention at Madison Square garden as soon as the convention gets down to receiving resolutions. Senator Underwood made public a copy of his anti-Klan plank which will be introduced in the convention at Madison SqilSre Garden as soon as tha convention gets down to receiving resolutions. If the platform committee attempts to straddle the issue It will be carried tb the floor in a fight that may make democratic history, for behind this anti-Klan movement lies the combined strength of the most northern democartlc and a few western states. There is no use of drawing a picture of a horse, said Underwood, without labelling It a horse. Of course, we could describe the KJan and then not name it, but why? Why not have the courage to com out and condemn this thing.
