Defending and upholding the
Constitution of the United
States and in a stirring manner
attacking the Ku Klux Klan,
Hon. W. H.Blanton of San An-
tonio addressed a large crowd
of Hill Country citizens at Lake
j Side Park last Saturday night.
. While the meeting was going
I on, a fiery cross was illuminated
j ir the Ola B. Gammon pastures
southwest of the city.
The speaker was introduced
in a fitting manner by Judge Ju-
lius Real who, during the course
of his remarks stated that he
himself had many warm friends
belonging to the Klan, and de-
plored that they had been mis-
led into joining, and expressed
the belief and hope that they
would soon see where member-
ship in this organization
leading them.
Mr. Blanton is a native Tex-
an, living for many years at
Gonzales before moving to San
Antonio. He is an eloquent
speaker and was well informed
on the subject on which he was
speaking and repeatedly chal-
lenged anyone in the audience
to contradict or correct any
statements he might make. He
held his audience spellbound
throughout the evening and
during the whole discourse was
never interrupted.
Declaring that the Constitu-
tion was the greatest document
of freedom ever written and
that it had been sufficient for
our forefathers; had been in the
past sufficient for us to live un-
der and rear our families, the
speaker urged his hearers to re-
frain from religious intolerance
and hatred and devote more
time to upholding the laws of
the country. He outlined the
Bill of Rights, which entitles
anyone accused of crime to a
j hearing before a jury of his
peers, and condemned practices
! of members of the klan in taking
upon themselves the punishing
j of individuals without trial and
without due process of law. Mr.
Blanton quoted several cases of
this character in the State as
well as elsewhere, in support of
his contentions.
Commenting on the reeent
Democratic Convention in New
\ork City, the speaker likened
it to the convention of the same
party in 1860, and warned his
hearers that u continuance of
the present day religious hatred
would inevitably lead to serious
conditions as it did in those
days unless the American peo-
ple came to their senses.
After declaring that he was
not a Catholic, and denouncing
practices of the Catholic Church
m olden times and foreign coun-
Uir Mnim in an
emphatic manner that the his-
tory of our country had reveal-
ed numbers of those of the
Catholic faith who had demon-
strated patriotism unexcelled
by none and cited instances
where Catholics had died rather
than betray their country and
their fellow man.
On the other hand, he cited
several instances of members of
the Klan, some of them minis-
ters of the gospel, who had been
convicted in the courts of per-
jury in connection with Klan
activities.
The speaker closed his ad-
dress by quoting extracts of the
Klan oath, as same was alleged
to have been given by Grand
Dragon Simmons in the Ku
Klux Klan hearings before the
Committee on Rules, House of
Representatives, 67th Congress,
and by calling particular atten-
tion to words and phrases there-
of. The sections of the oath as
quoted by Mr. Blanton are as
follows:
“Section 1. You will say, ‘I,’
pronounce your full name, and
repeat after me—‘In the pres-
ence of God and man, most sol-
emnly pledge, promise and swear
unconditionally, that I will faith
fully obey the constitution and
laws, and will willingly conform
to all regulations, usages and re-
quirements of the Ku Klux Klan
which do now exist or which
may be hereafter enacted, and
will render at all times loyal
respect and steadfast support to
the imperial authority of same,
and will heartily heed all official
mandates, decrees, edicts, rul-
ings and instructions of the Im-
perial Wizard thereof. I will
yield prompt response to all
summonses, I having knowledge
of same, Providence alone pre-
venting*.”
“Section 4. ‘I swear, I will j
keep secure to myself a secret I
of a klansman when same is i
committed to me in the sacred
bond of klansmanship, the [
crime of violating this solemn
oath, treason against the United
States of America, rape and
malicious murder alone except-
ed’.”
-II-
In order to make their cam-
paign promises good, a certain
administration in Powder City
began a half-hearted attempt to
bring one of their numerous
lawless gangs to justice. The
prosecuting attorney became
unduly enthusiastic and things
got altogether too hot.

who had been absent from the
