CULBERSON BEATEN
?\ 1 J. : <
"Little Christian Governor" Feeble and
Broken After Long Service.
After serving Texas in higti office for
thirty-two years, United States Senutor
Charles A. Culberson, who won his
political' spurs as the "Little Christian
Governor," finally has been retired.
His defeat in Saturday's primaries,
confirmed by the count, was the first
he evci4 suffered in his l?>ng career. For
the first time in sixty years the voice '
of a Culberson will not be dominant In
Texas polities. Long before "Charley" ,
Ci?l!>erson attained prominence in the
seats of the mighty of the Democratic
party hk> fhther, "Uncle Dave" Culberson,
represented the old First Texas
district in the hulls of congress. In
fact, "Dave" Culberson died wiitle n 1
representative and a leader sn the i
jarty in the state.
His son succeeded him !n power and
influence and only to faii victim in the j
primaries to a Ku Klu.x candidate and
an advocate of the manufacture and
sale of light wine and beer. Texas has
a double primary system. First place i
in the initial contest went to Earle I
Mayflcld, state railroad commissioner j
and generally hailed as the klan candi- \
date. During his intensive campa'gn, |
In which since January he has deliver- !
ed 150 speeches, May Ac M has concluded
each address by waving violently
an American flag rnd announcing that
he will make every foreigner who
comes to the United States kneel and
kiss it.
Second place is held, by James Ferguson,
once Impeached and removed
from office as governor. He advocates
restoration of light wines and beer,
and during the campaign bitterly denounced
the Ku Klux Klan, charging
a general conspiracy on its part to eliminate
Catholics and Jews from the
Jiie or rne rcpuDiie. wuioi-rnvu, uir ,
eran, is third.
Senator Culberson has not s*t foot j
on Texas soil in more than six years. 1
He has not delivered an address to his j
constituents in a longer tlm \ His
health is gone. This was the chief
argument used against him in the campaign
and is accepted as the main
cause of his defeat.
Culberson, as a mere youth, with his
father's backing, was successively
elected attorney general and governor.
It was his refusal to allow the Fitzsimmons-Maher
fight that won Jor him
the "Little Christian Governor" title.
In order to prevent the fight he convened
a special session of the legislature
and asked authority to uso troops.
The authority was granted, the troops
and rangers ordered out and, despite
the fuct Jhat the arena had been erected
and all tickets sold, tHe fight was
prevented.
After two terms as governor, Culberson
was elected to the United States
senate and has remained there ever
since. Six years ago he was too ill to
visit the sUVa,7^tt4. his lifelong frieud,
Barry Miller, of Dallas, campaigned
for him. He won the nomination in
the primary and the nomination in the
runoff. His opponent then was Governor
O. B. Colquitt, an anti-prohibitionist.
So was Senator Culberson, but
he received the 'backing of' the
Anti-Saloon league in the run-off.
Hardly had the klan presented itself
as an issue in this year's campaign
than Culberson, from Washington, issued
a statement denouncing it. Mayfield
never publicly admitted membership
in or connection with the klan,
but his speeches were devo'ed to
Americanism, better public schools and j
reduced railroad fares. The klun sup
ported him solidly at the polls.
Culberson's friend, Judge Miller, who
had campaigned successfully for him
in the past and fruitlessly th's time,
also was eliminated from politics by
the klan landslide. He has been a
member of the state legislature for
bany years but was defeated Saturd*y.
He was anti-klan throughout.
The Culberson family is a pioneer
on? in Texas, politically and otherwise.
The original Culberson, a native of
Geo?fia, settled in Jefferson, now almost
an abandoned village of eastern
Texas* and lived there until his death.
The ffcpily is one of affluence as well
. as cuitk-e.
In th?run-off contest, two issues j
will pM^-ail, prohibition and the
klan. Miyfield will receive the klan [
support, ferguson that of the antiklan,
anti-tedcrul reserve, ami antiprohimtion
elements. Ferguson is
considered (?e of the greatest campaigners
evei produced in Texas.

I
Imperial Wizzaitf Says He Has Been
Misn? resented.
Atlanta. Ga., July 24.?Edward
Young Clarke, imperial wizard portem
of the Knights of ?,ho Kit Klox Klan,
late today issued a statement denying
that he had unm;nked the Ku Klux i
Klan in Georgia, or a?y other part of
the country.
The only thing he <id, Mr. Clarke
said, was to (issuo an executive order,
applying only to Georgi:., stopping for
the time being all parades and the use
of the mask and costume for any purpose
in Georgia by the Kitngmcn except
in the Klavern o^ lodge room of
the Klan."
Emphasizing that the executive or- j
riot* wnu r?nnfini?rl fri \1 PlnrL'n
in his statement said:
"The correspondence between myself
and Governor Hardwick regarding the
Ku Klnx Klan published in the Sunday
papers has l>een grossly twisted
and it is causing considerable misunderstanding
on account of this fact, j
"First, 1 have not unmasked the Ku j
Klux Klan in Georgia or anywhere ,
else in the nation; the only thing t '
did was to issue an executive order)
stopping for the time being all ,
parades and the use of the mask anU
costume for any purpose in Georgia*'by
Klansnien excejrt In the Klavern or
,v RAIL OFFICIALS
Tha picture shows four execi
lu tho shops of the company as cai
Chicago yards and shows therfi eati
lodge room of the Klan.
'Second, the order affected Georgia
only, and the statement which has
been broadened that it applied to the
entire nation has caused a flood of
telegrams to be received at headquarters
and considerable confusion in the
ranks of the organization all over
the country.
Reason for Order.
"In explanation of the reason why I j
issued the order stopping parades and
the use of the-mask and costume in
Georgia for the present time, 1 desire
to say that I did so because of con- .
certed effort at the present time in I
Georgia to make it appear that tne
Ku Klux Klan is either directly responsible
for acts of lawlessness in
the .state or indirectly responsible hecause
of imitation of our costume by
lawless elements or by those seeking
to discredit our organization. I |
thought the best way to clear up such
a situation was to issue the executive
order which I did, and when I discussed
the matter with the governor
ho agf-eed with me that this would
solve the problem. In addition to the
ftvoonfirn <ir/h>r etnnninf** nnpiwHis. I
havo also issued orders for a 60-day
educational campaign in Georgia by
a largt> body of Klan speakers in order
to educate the public regarding
the Klan trtxl Us costume.
"I have also ordered a searching
inquiry into recent crimes in Georgia
and believe we shall lie able to show
that not one per cent, of same in any
way involve the Ku Klux Klan.
"I issued last fall a similar executive
order in Texas when the stale
was in the midst of turbulent conditions
regarding law enforcement and
had under way in the state centered
light on the Klan by those who wanted
to see us destroyed. My order in
Texas was faithfully complied with
and completely met the situation in ;
Texas to the satisfaction of all concerned
except those who wanted to
see the Klati destroyed."

HANGING BEE POSTPONED
Editor Responsible for Six Day Extension
for Convicted Man.
Frequent comment is given to the
power of the press, but only onp case
is on record where "an editor was
able to add six days to a condemned
man's life to avoid getting out an
extra, relates the Sioux Falls Argus
Ledger.
In Minnehaha county in 1882 according
to the ancient archives of
tiie country, E. W. Caldwell, editor of
the weekly newspaper was faced with
a terrible predicament for one in
the news game. The first execution
ever held' in Minnehaha county was to
take place on Friday when Thursday
was the day of the week for his paper
to come out.
He was faced with the necessity'
of either issuing a paper without any
news in it, for the approaching hanging
was the only topic of conversation,
or of holding the account of the
hincrimr n week Inter until it was an
?
old story. I
Thomas Egan of Tipperary county,
Irelund, convicted of murder was the
man whose life hung in the balance.
As a last resort the troubled publisher
went to Judge Kidder and asked
him whether there was anything that
required in the law that the man
should be hanged on Friday. He said
there was not.
Mr. Caldwell's own account of the
incident is as follows:
"Then I told the judge that I ran
a weekly paper which I issued on
Thursday, and if Egan were hung on
Friday, 1 would either have to postpone
the issue of my pai>er or hold
the account over a week, neither of
which I wanted to do. He asked me
if I had seen Judge Carter, the prosecuting
attorney, and 1 said I had not,
but 1 would; so I went to Judge
Carter, told him the circumstances
and asked him if it would make any
difference to him.
"He said he didn't care when the
man was hanged if he was only hang- j
ed. I then went hack to .Iiuljjo Kid- [
dor who finally said that he intended '

!t. Paul Railroad, who are worklnj
ike. The picture .was taken in tb
to appoint Friday, July 7th, for the
hanging, but that as it was so soon
after the Fourth it might put a damper
upon the celebration, and if it
would be any accommodation to mc
he would fix it for Thursday, July
13th. 1 told him it would just suit
me and so he did. Afterwards I was
telling Mr. McLoney of It, and he took
me to task for depriving the poor
man of one day of life. I replied that
I did not deprive him of a day. On
the contrary I was the means of pro
longing his life six days."
As a result of the action on the
same day that the hanging took place
the weekly came out, and the editor
probably had the biggest story of his
career.
I
? Lieutenant Milton B.. Mackull, who
for the last three years had-'lain in a
bathtub at the Ft. Henry hospital, near
Baltimore, Md., as a result of a wound
received in the World war, died Tuesday
night. He was conscious almost
until the last. The ease of Lieutenant
Mackall was without parallel in the
military annals of the country. He
was tiie only patient not removed from
the. hospital when the grain elevators
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
burned several weeks ago. Physicians
believed his removal would be fatal.
I Attendants remained witli him, in case j
removal should become necessary as a
last resort. The wound which caused
his paralysis and death was suffered
October 1C. 1U18, when a German
sniper shot him in the back as he
crossed No Man's L?and.
