Governor Ed Jackson, Indiana, at present more or less involved in the Ku Klux Klan disclosures emanating from David C. Stephenson (see CORRUPTION), said that he had a sympathetic interest in all the questions discussed and was willing to cooperate fully in bettering the country...
...verbal and documentary bombs at various Indiana officials from his life-prisoner's cell in the Indiana State Prison at Michigan City. Mr. Stephenson, irate at getting no help in his attempts to escape serving his sentence for the murder of Madge Oberholtzer, began his disclosures of Ku Klux Klan rule in Indiana by holding a long conference with Prosecuting Attorney William H. Remy of Marion County, Ind. Then he released certain checks to Indianapolis papers-checks made out to Republican Indiana statesmen, politicians, including Governor Ed Jackson. Last fortnight the conference and check excitement had somewhat died down...
...nonclerical interpretation would indicate that the Chicago church-member situation jibes with empirical fact: church membership is a social phenomenon; the professional man belongs for church contacts, just as he more blatantly belongs to Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Odd Fellows, Elks, Masons, Knights of Columbus, B'nai B'rith, Ku Klux Klan, International Bible Students, etc.; the clerk and the businessman aspire to the same social security and economic advantages; the working man seeks his security in his unions, in preference to churches, which he considers "controlled" normally by the rich.

Last week Mr. Stephenson took the Indianapolis Times into his confidence and sent to the Times many of the documents contained in the "little black box" where he had foresightedly deposited written evidence of his transactions. The most startling of these...
...those days had all been much the same to him. They would continue so, too, for he was a lifer. He would be there, in the common phrase, "from now on." Surely an unworthy end for David Curtis Stephenson who through many years had controlled the Indiana Ku Klux Klan which had controlled the politics of Indiana. In the Republican State Convention of 1924 he had patrolled the aisles of the convention hall with a gun on his hip. The men whom he had picked for office held office; the men whom he had opposed had been defeated...
