EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY; OCTOBER 17, 1922 K. K. K. ONLY ISSUE IN TEXASELEGTION 'Invinlble Empire' Risks Its Fu ture en Election of Candi date for U. S. Senate OPPOSED BY COALITION By a fitaff Cerrupendtnt .Washington, Oct. 17. The Ku Klux Klnn Is the only issue In Texas this year. In ether states, the Klan Is nc tlve for certain candidates. In Mis souri, according te the stories brought te Washincten. thn Klnn linn Joined forces with the Anti-Saleen League te defeat Senater James A. Heed. In urcgen, the Klan ia out te defeat the Itcpublican candidate for governor and incidentally te put ever n bit of legis lation which would drive private schools out of the State. But In Texas, there are no side issues. It is Klan or no Klan. Enrl B. Mayfleld, nominated byVthe Democrats for the United Htntea Sen ate, is standing as the cnndldate of the Klan. He has net professed member ship In the organization, but it Is well known that he has received the Klan support througbeut his candidacy. Op posed te him will be Geerge B. B. l'eddy, n registered Democrat, who In this contest is running as independent, with organized support from the Re publicans nnd with the premised sup port of nnti-Klnn Democrats Advantage with Mayfleld Mayfleld and his Klnn supporters go Inte the fight with tremendous advan tage. They have, first; the normal Democratic support te count en. Then, in all probability, they will have the additional advantage of opposing a man whose name will have te be written en the ballets. Then they have the Klan funds and the entire Klan organisa erganisa organisa teon, for the "Invisible Empire" has sant word throughout the State that the Texan fight Is the Important one, de ciding as It will whether the Klan la te remain the political power In Texas or whether the voters of Texas are going te outlaw It nnd thus free the State, for the Immediate fiirnr. frnm Its influences. Mayfleld 's friends have begun their attack by refusing te pcrn.lt Teddy's imiuc iu go en me Duneia. xncy are in charge of the State election machinery. They contend, and rightfully se, that l'eddy was a registered Democrat. They add that Peddy voted ns a Democrat in tha primary. They contend that nominations in Texas can euly be mude through primary elections, nnd that the Itcpubllcans, having failed te nominate 1 man in the primaries, cannqt new put a nntr.e en the ticket. It ia a strong cage, and there is really little hone that Peddy's name will go en the ballets. Pcddy's friends have retaliated with a suit te enjoin Mayfleld and his friends from putting Mayficld's name en the ballets. Their contend thut Mayfleld violated the election law In the expendi ture of money and that the judges nnd clerks were chosen by Illegal methods. They charge perjury.
