Has the "Invisible Empire" a program?
According to its "Emperor" it not only has a program, but at the proper
time it will put it forth. He made a statement which was printed in the
_Searchlight_ on July 2, 1921:
"I am not at all surprised, at the progress of the work, but of
course gratified. I have never for one moment doubted that if God
gave me strength and 'men' with which to lay before America the
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, that it would sweep the nation as
nothing of the kind has ever done.
"The Ku Klux Klan has not started to work. The enemies of the
organization have been howling and back-biting and snapping at
everything they could see or hear, and lying slanders have been
spread broadcast about the organization and leaders and proposed work
and present activity.
"For the edification of those who do not know allow me to say that
the Ku Klux Klan have not yet started to work and may not do so for a
year. We are merely organizing at the present time and we do not
intend to start any definite activity until we have sufficiently
organized to make sure success.
"To those who love fireworks--rhetorical and otherwise--allow me to
suggest that they wait quietly until the Ku Klux Klan passes through
its organizing period and actually starts work. The attacks that have
so far been launched will appear significant when the atmosphere
becomes surcharged with the shrieks of the enemies of law and order,
constitutional principles, and real Americanism, as these forces feel
the tightening grip of the Klan around them and they come to the
realization that they are whipped.
"It will be then, and not till then, that the real anathemas will be
hurled at the organization and its leaders, but it will have as
little weight and do as little harm as all the lies that have been
spread broadcast up to the present time.
