The witness told Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri, the committee chairman, that it was he who intro- duced Senator Watson, Republican, Indiana, to Willam F.

It carried the signa- tures of an imposing International group of business men, including J. | P.

GOULD LINCOLN, Staft Correspondent of The Star. DENVER, Colo., October 21 Flushed with victory over the Klu Klux Klan in the senatorial and gubernatorial promarics this vear, the Republican organization of Colo- rado is fighting hard to put across its nominees, Charles W. Waterman for the Senate and Oliver H. Showp for governor. But its problem is not so_simple, The defeat of Senator Rice W. Means and Goy. Clarence J. Morley, who were nominated and elected with Klan aid two vears ago. in the pri- maries this vear was accomplished itself. Dr, John Galen Locke of Den- ver was grand dragon of the Klan in colorado when the organization was at the zenith of its power. Iiis clalm was that he held Colorado in the hollow of his hand, much as D. .. Stephenson, one-time grand dragon of the Klan in Indlana, boasted that his word was law In the Hoesier State. But like Stephenson in In- dlana, Locke had his comb cut by the national organization. Ie v deposed. Whereupon Dr. Locke formed a new organization with the greater part of the Klan member- ship in Denver. It was only human tor Dr. Locke and his minute men to seek the defeat of Senator Means and Gov. Morley when the primaries rolled around. and they smote the Klan candidates in the Republican | primaries with all the strength they possessed. They put up a candidate for the s=enatorfal nomination who about fourteen thousand. the_antiklan candidate, recelved about 57,000 votes and Means 44,000, Most Catholic Democrats. The Catholic vote in Colorado, ¢ timated at not less than 20,000, nearly all Democratic. Tt w almost to a man and woman : Means. Tt is this vote which causing the greatest amount of un- certainty in the campaign for the general election. Ordinarily it might he expected that this Democratic Catholic vote, having accomplished its end by de- feating Senator Means in the pri- maries would swing back to the Dem- ocratic nominee for the Scnate. But there the hitch comes in. Former Giov. Sweet, chosen by the Democrats for the Senatorial nomination, has incurred the enmity of the Catholics. In the first place he has either heen indorsed or will be indorsed by the Klan—aithough he was the Demo- cratic nomineo for governor against | the Republican Klan candidate two years ago and was defeated through the Klan. The Klan having been de- feated in the primaries by Shoup who has denounced the Klan, has no- where to go unless it is to Sweet. | In the second place Sweet was a member of a commission of Protes- tants which went to Mexico to pass judgment on the strife between the Catholic Church and the Mexican Gov- ernment not long ago. A report attributed to Sweet, gave the Catholic Church in Mexico the little end of the | argument. This has aroused resent- | ment among the Catholics. In the third place, Sweet has been regarded | as a radical, a millionaire bond sales- man with socialistic tendencies. And in the fourth place, he is the dryest of the dry, and many of the Catholics are opposed to him on that account. | So strong Is the Catholle opposition to Sweet that letters have been sent by Catholic leaders in Colorado, to 500 prominent Cathollcs throughout the State urging that Sweet be de- feated. If the Catholic vote, which is Democratic, goes over to Waterman in great bulk, then Sweet's chances are lessened by a considerable mar- gin. If Sweet is elected after indorse- ment by the Klan, it will be heralded as a Klan victory, and the Catholics will have falled, they say, in their effort to stamp ou the Klan and their entrance into the Republican primary | will have been largely in vain. Vote May Be Split. | While Waterman and his backers are hoping that the Catholic vote will benefit them in the election as it did | in the primaries there is fear that the | Klan vote will go largely to Sweet the greater part of the Kian vote has | been Republican.
