There has been considerable good natured rafflary, some ridicule and sar-

and means that when the excitement of lite campaign is o\er we will all settle
Sown to tegular duties ami be friends and neigfibars again. Of course, into
all campaigns there will creep some highly exaggerated HaUvnents and even

Denison, Texas, April 3—Opposition
to their appearance in their masks and
robes at tlie services developed Sunday
night at both the First Presbyterian
and the First Baptist churrfies here
when a party of masked members of
the Ku Klux Klan, altout 50 strong,
visited these churrfies.. At the First
Baptist church. Dr. W. L. Smith ,a
deacon of the church, was struck in
tlie face by anotlier worshipper, whose
identity ' has not been learned,
wlieu he arose from his seat ami as
one of the Klansnteit passed hint,
Mtatrltcd the mask from the lattcr's
face.
The Klansinen Inid finished their
visit at the church, with a talk from
tlteir leader announcing their presence
in Denison and outlining their princi-
ples ami ideals, and their intention
I make war on immorality in Denison.
Mid were leading tHe church, when
Dr. Smith arose and attempted to re-
\eal the identity of one of the mask-
ed men. \Vlien the Klansman's mask
was taken from his face, be snatched
his robe tPdcltly. ovar itis headt pd
Itnrried out of the church.. His Ideii-
t£fy ^s not learned. .
I As Dr. Smith snatched the mask
from the Klansman's face, lie was
struck a blow by another person in
t the congregation. He was not injuren.
and others sitting near him quickly
quieted him without furtfier disturb-
ance of the service.. The Wansmen,
outside the ihurch, entered automo-
bile*. surrounded by a large crowd or
interested onlookers ami drove away.
VISIT ANOTHER CHI RCH.
Prior to their visit to the First Bap-
tist church, a party of about the same
size visited the First Presbyterian
Church. Ret.. James M. Martin,
evangelist, of Sherman, was preaching,
and was well into his sermon when
tlie robed and masked Klansmen en-
tered the church. Dividing at the
doior tff the Cliunh, half of the Klans-
men marchcd through one aisle to
one side of tlie pulpit and the other, half
readied the other side of the pulpit by
another aisle. The servicc of worship
was complete!) interrupted with the
first appearatire of the Klansmen, and
not a sound was made as the leader
of the party addressed the preacher
with a request to interrupt the service
to make a statement to the congrega-
ion. Tlie presence of the Klan In
Denison, and ttieir principles and
ideals were announced, an well as the
intention of the Klan to fight Immor
ality in Denison, and to give ,tlto
church its backing.
JSKANDLD AS COWARDS.
After the speech was finished, the
Klansmen turned to march from the
churrli. Dr. Alex W. Aehctton, former
Mayor of Denison and civic leader here,
a member of the congregation, rose
•iml said: "I cmuit forty-four cow-
art's afraiil to face tlie world without
masks.". This remark was the only
one matle. aside from the speech of the
Klan party leader.
A number of Sherman people were
in tlie congregation of the First Pres-
byterian church, and saw tlie robed
Klansmeu there. ... ,
It is rumored here that included in
the party of Klansmen wltieh visited
the two church were a number front
Sherman, but. this could not be con-
firmed.
" li t* generally supposed that thr
party / abandoned visits to othrr
churches after the incident at the
First Bant is: church. By this time
also a larcf crowd of persons were fol-
lowing thfr robed men. and crowding
about them as they entered their can
after visiting tlie church. Reports thai
the Klansmen visited others churches
here could not be verified as true.

Income vacant this year will he held
in Sherman Tuesday. The offices to
be filled are the only elective ones In
Sht rman under this City's Commission

" Setrtti' Council men are to la* elected
from a field of fourteen which have
been nominated. They "will be elected
for two year terms. Under Sherman's
form of government, seven of the fif-
teen members of the Council are elect-
ed one year for two year* terms, and
eight and the Mayor the next year, in
regtilaK tfotktiofe"
Ttmttfs etevtlon Win mark the cul-
mTnatfon of an intensive political cam-
paign in the interest of the two lists
of candidates nominated for jdaoes
made lt>' two factions in the city. It
is • boflcved that a large vote will be
polled in the ele 'ti<m. from the gtuiecal
interest wJdcti has been taken.
Although both factions have announc-
ed declarations of principles and plat-
forms, numerous factors and discus-
sions have been injected iuto the cam-
paign, and no well defined Issues have
teen made, except a demand on the part
lof one faction for the discharge, in
toto, of the volunteer auxiliary traf-
tic police recently appointed. Another
demand of this faction is for the re-
hahtliatlou of the city electric light
plant, and the discontinuance of the
purchase of electricity from the Texas
Power & Light Company. Although
these issues have been iriade, tliey have
iWen overshadowed iu the campaign
by several other question*, including
affiliation of different candidates
with the otganlzation known as the Ku
Klux Klan. A published demand from
the "antl Ku Kltix" Klau citizens of
,Sherman" that candidates make known
their position with l-eference to this
organization, has resulted in but one
of the fourteen candidates making a
public statement of his position, al-
though the claim was nutde by one of
the factions tnat they dhl not believe
their candidates were members of the
organization
