Zach Harris, national lecturer for tho Ku Klux Klan, talked here this afternoon to an audience that punctuated his two hour address with frequent applause. No members of the klan present wore regalia. Harris stood on tho platform of tho auditorium alone, with several American flags draped near him. Harris paid little attention to Jews or negroes In his address and devted { a major portion of hi* time to de- ! scribing growth of alleg'd Catholic Influence in America. Harris, charged the following: That since 1880, SO per cent of the immigrants to America have been non Anglo Saxon and non l’rotestant. That prior to that time 90 per cent of tho Immigrants were Protestants. That American-born citizen are guil ty. In a majority of instances, of race suicide while the immigrant* are not. That every American citizen is pledged to uphold the constitution relative to equality and freeittn of thought In religion and Isdlti'* and that Americans had made no visible protest against an alleged order tAr a recent poi>e against intermarriage of Catholic* and Protestants. Such a rule, obeyed, he declared, by a majority of Catholic*, was in vio lation of the equality and freedom provisions of tile constitution. That during the civil war when Americas future was in jeopardy an attempt wa* made to establish a Catholic monarchy in Mexico "at (he foot of tile Unit'd States." In defense of th'- kjan. lie asserted. Catholics had secret organizations eli gible to Catholics only, Jews had simi lar organizations open to Jew's only, and negroes bud organizations open only to hegroe*. "AThy can’t native Isirri white Amer icans of the Protestant faith have a secret organization?" he asked. “In all of our year* of aciivlt> there has only been one conviction." he said. Harris emphasized the alleged need 't shutting ont immigration from Oils country. "AVe have 2,nan,ono mem- - h'-rs now," he said, "and there arc j 1 .'.find.quo more eligible."
