If Mayor Kendrick stands firmly upon his edict prohibiting the Ku Klux Klan demonstration in connection with the Sesqui-Centennial next September, the Klansmen will not attempt to parade, it was announced at a Klan meeting here.
“We must remember that Mayor Kendrick is the highest executive in the city,” Charles B. Lewis, head of the hooded order in Easterr. Pennsklvania, told the Klansmen, “and he was elected by you. You are bound by your oaths as Klansmen to respect law and authority. If the Mayor decides that native-born American citizens cannot march through the streets of the city of Philadelphia, we shall obey the law-but I think he will change his mind.”
The Mayor, however, has said that his decision is final.
