lien W. Olcott of Oregon, who is on the way to the conference of Clovernora at White Sulphur Springs, announced in an interview last night that he would lay tho subject of the Ku Klux Klan before that gathering of state executives as a result of the amazing grip whicli the klan has gained in his State and the conviction that, if unchecked, this menace inevitably will lead to open religious civil war throughout the country. ihinkinsr Oregonians are at last awake to what has happened in that i-iaie. anu, liKe nimseir. are genuinely alarmed by the spread of what they first failed to regard as a dangerous manifestation, he pointed out.

Today the subject overshadows all other issues in be said, and the- consequences of the secret organization's work there should be brought to national attention. Outlines. Situation. Here are some of the features of this situation which Gov. Olcott wil! present to the conference, he outlined them last night: That whole communities irt Ore- i gon are now torn by such religious dissension, if not avowed hatred.

tht neighbors formerly best or friends are virtual families are disrupted, the spirit of religious intolerance is seizing upon the churches and spreading into all branches of business as a controlling factor. The same sort of outrages committed l.y night riders, masked in the white gowns and cowls of the order that have swept parts of the South have repeatedly occurred in Oregon, so that law and order is as muen usurped as in Louisiana, where Gov. Parker feared for the sovereignty of the State. Citiwns Arming. That in the town of Med ford, for example, in Jackson County, the citizenry have been so divided and roused to internal strife that they are going heavily armed, one group of 30 anti-klan townsmen men of the highest intelligence and prominence having bonded together, after be-i ing sworn in as Leputy Sheriffs, and having armed themselves, their fam-l ilies and their homes.

That the judiciary, schools -system, politics and even certain public channels of expression have become so influenced, and in some instances controlled by the klan. that all former normal relationships and processes of law and order are completely undermined. That this conditii is instanced by the passage at the last election of what was called the. "eompulsory school bill." which exterminates every private and parochial school -in the State and constitutes the most flagrant interference with religious' liberty since the pre-revoluiiona ry days in the L'nited States. I "a.4s Hanging I'ire.

That, although Gov. Olcott issued a proclamation before the State pri- maries last May denouncing the klan and ocdering all officer of the 1 law to unite in driving it from the State, a "move" which resulted in the finding of some 20 indictments against marked members of the or der, it has Deen impossible to bring any of the cases to trial, due to the combination of klan fores now at worh controlling the courts, largely by intimidation. That Portland has become a hotbed of the klan propaganda and the klan leaders are extending their field into the State of Washington, predicting openly that they will soon line up that and other Northwestern States, including Idaho and the territory' of Alaska. Issoe a Religious One. "We have few negroes and few Japanese in the State, comparatively speaking, so that the issue really comes down to one between Protestantism and Catholicism." said the Governor.

"To be sure one negro who was freed from Jail aft-r 6erv- nig uin a ill i vi i.v nu eirautig vietimizeu laKen out: at nigm oy masked riders and hanged, though cut down before he was dead. "But, generally speaking, most of the evil is in the steady growth of this religious warfare, and if it Is not stopped, if the nation does not arouse itself to its full meaning, it is bound to lead to a civil war that is too portentlous to need elaboration." Gov. Olcott, who was defeated at the last election laregly as a of his stand against the secret or- I der, whereas his opponent received its indorsement, exhibited a letter from L. I. Powell, signing himself 'King Kleagle and "Chief of Propagation Department for Oregon.

Washington. Idaho and Alaska." wherein Powell boasted of the klan's victory, especially in the passage of the revolutionary school bill. OREGON at a I I $15.00 HUD SON Vea: Whi I.jiT S3 C. G.
