menac of the Ku Klux Klan to Amer
ican institution and organized gov
ernment wa described tn Prldent
Harding tlay by Governor John M.
Parker of Louisiana, who appealed
for federal co-operation In running
down activities of the klan which ai
declared actually to be overpowering
th function of the government of
hi state.
Governor Parker did not ask that
th federal government take over lb
government of Louisiana, a had been
reported, but he did e-k to obtain
federal aid In running down actlvllie
of the Ku Klux Klan which he b
believe are not confined to Louisiana
alone, but to odj.iccnt tatc. The
n. tiac-.' to Louisiana, lie 1 convinced,
doe not come from klanlstn within
the state alone, and for that reason
ha believe the federal government
may rightfully assist In breaking th
threatening power of this Invisible
government.
( 0-eraf ion Promised.
Following bis conference with th
president and Attorney General
Daugherty, a statement wa Issued
at th White House giving assurance
that the federal government did not
regard th situation at present be
yond the control of Louisiana author,
itle to deal with, but that It would
extend full co-operation whenever th
situation demanded.
Governor Parker Issued a statement
In which he said that Louisiana would
spare no expense to defend Itself
against the secret dominating Influ
ence of klanlsm.
Will Make Investigation.
"The responsible government of
Louisiana," said Governor Parker, "i
determined that, regardless of cost or
consequences, a most thorough In
vestigation will be made of tbe out
rages reported to have teen made by
the Ku Klux Klan in Louisiana.
"Certain terrorizing outrage have
been committed, certain terrorizing
crime have been reported, and It is
vital that responsibility shall b fixed
and the offenders punished, not l
cause of any organization, but In spite
of M.
"The law of tbe tate at.d nation
must be upheld under any circum
stances." Confer Wllh Burn.
Governor Parker waa accompanied
to "Washington and to th Whit
House by Attorney General A. V. Co
co of Louisiana. During their visit
to the tVhite House they conferrei
with Senator Isroussard, Louisiana,
and other members of the Louisiana
delegation. They also discussed witr
VV. J. Burns, chief of the bureau of
investigation, plans for government
assistance in solving the recent ;
terlous disappearance of two men ta
Mer Rouge, Morehouse parish, Lou is!
ana, and the attempted as-asslnatioti
of the mayor of the sain village.
Watt Daniel and T. F. Richards,
two resident of the town, were taken
by masked men last August and they
have not been heai'd from since. Then
was an investigation of the affair and
many members of the Klan are re
ported to have resigned from tha
organization on account of revela
tions the investigation developed.
