KU KLUX KLAN
ACTIVITIES IN LOUISIANA ' AMERICAN NATION STIRRED (By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. While White House refused to authorise any statement regarding the conference with Governor Parker, Mr Daugherty issued a statement declaring that the State of Louisiana was amply capable of handling the Ku Klux Klan. The Federal Government is ready to extend aid wherever necessary. Hundreds of protests from every part of Louisiana have poured in declaring that no such situation existed as has been charged, but Governor Parker issued a statement declaring that certain terrorising outrages and horrifying crimes have been committed, and it is vital that responsibility shall bo fixed and such offenders punished; but he said the State was fully able to cope with the situation. Few recent events have so stirred the American public as the report of the Ku Klux Klan’s activities in Louisiana, and the item has overshadowed all other matters' in the newspapers of the country.
