People’s Forum
I notice ni the Horalu or Tuesday,
July 17th a clipping from the Fort
Worth Record, reporting the visit of
the K. K. K. to the meeting conduct-
ed at Olden, Texas, by Evangelist E.
S. Fitzgerald. 1 desire to state the
facts just as they occurred. On Sun-
day evening, July 15th, being the clos-
ing service of the meeting, with the
largest audience of the meeting as-
sembled and with bright prospects for
the best service of the meeting. Just
as the song was being finished, just
befor3 the sermon began, eight or
nine persons came into the tabernacle
in robes which was supposed to be the
regalia of the K. K. K. The audience
was seated at the request of the min-
ister, after which the robed persons
conducted a short service one of
whom then handed the minister a
sealed envelop which the minister
placed on the reading desk and pro-
ceeded with the sermon without mak-
ingg one statement with reference to
what had happened. At the conclus-
ion of the service, the minister stated
that he did not approve of what had
happened there that night. Having
in mind the fact that the meeting had
been disturbed and confusion caused
by the demonstration which injured
the meeting. The minister does not
think that any man or set of men
have any moral, civil or religious
right to disturb worship or any relig-
ious service. Th® minister couid not
accept the donation and his desire
was to return it to the K. K. K. witW
out breaking the seal. Evangelist *
S. Fitzgerald, the minister conducting
the meeting, had nothing to do with
the paper report and is in no way re-
sponsible for what it contained.

WHEN CRAVEN SOLICITED
VOTES IN ANOTHER COUNTY
It isn’t always that one can appre-
ciate a joke that is on oneself and
fortunate, indeed, is the one so bless-
ed with such a sense of humor. V. P.
Craven, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, was heard to tell this
story at the recent community meet-
ing in Springto,wn.
“When I was a candidate for Coun-
ty School Superintendent,” said Mr.
Craven, “I wandered into the northern
part of the county, seeking votes and
voters wherever I could find them,
being much more concerned about
where I was politically than geogra-
phically. I stopped at a house and so-
licited the vote and Influence of a
lady and was well pleased to have her
vehement promise of support.”
“Yes, sir,” said the lady, “certainly
I’ll vote for you, for I don’t like that
scoundrel, so and so, anyway.”
'While this sounded encouraging,
the name that the lady mentioned did
not sound like that of Mr. Craven’s
opponent. Making a few judicious In-
quiries, he learned that he had cross-
ed far over into the next county and
was soliciting votes that could not
possibly help him In Parker.
