Item Description
3.5x6.25". Cover illustration shows large hooded Klansman with Coolidge and Davis in pockets fighting a gallant LaFollette who is drawing sword from sheath titled "Justice To All." Text states that a vote for Coolidge or Davis is "A Vote For The Klan And A Vote For LaFollette Is A Vote Against The Klan, Against Invisible Government, Against Mob Rule." Inside text "Statements Made By LaFollette Against The Klan." Davis is quoted avoiding the Klan issue. Followed by a statement from Dr. Hiram W. Evans, Imperial Wizard of the Klan endorsing both Coolidge and Davis. Back page goes on to quote Evans as saying "LaFollette Is The Arch Enemy...The Klan Will Bend Every Effort To Defeat The Candidacy Of Robert M. LaFollette." Final statement on back reads "Among The Three Candidates, LaFollette Is The Only One Who Both Opposes And Is Opposed By The Ku Klux Klan." Interesting in that the Klan was so strong throughout the country in the 1920s. See additional Klan items #95-99 and items in the pinback section. Bright, clean, Exc.
