U S. PRESIDENCY
INDESCRIBABLE CHAOS. THE KU KLFX KLAN. ar habli--pbxss association-copyright NEW YORK, June 25. Mr.Fordney Johnson (Alabama), putting Senator Underwood in nomination, aroused great feeling when he announced his unalterable opposition to the Ivu Klux Klan, denouncing the intrusion of a secret order for the purpose of intimidating either party into actions at variance with the fundamental and constitutional provision guaranteeing equality of all races and religions. Fifteen minutes’ indescribable chaos ensued. Delegations began a procession through the aisles, and endeavoured to persuade others to join them. The demonstration when concluded had enlisted fully two-thirds of the State delegation, and many others seemed torn by internal disagreement regarding their attitude towards the Klan. Colorado’s delegation developed into an open physical battle for the control of the State standard, which was destroyed, and despite a number of casualties remained in the possession of Colorado’s pro-Klan delegation.
