G.O.P. Backs Klan School Board Slate

From The Indianapolis Times, Monday, November 2, 1925:  At a meeting of United Protestant Clubs of Indianapolis at Cadle Tabernacle Saturday night, presided by George Elliott, exalted cyclops of Marion County Klan No. 3, John Duvall, Republican mayoral candidate, and several Republican council candidates urged support of the Ku Klux Klan United Protestant school board ticket which includes Charles Kern, Lillian Sedwick, Theodore Vonnegut, Fred Kepner, and Lewis Whiteman.  The audience of 7,000 were shown on a large board the voting machine positions of the United Protestant slate and instructed how to vote for it and the straight Republican ticket.  School board candidates spoke promising to clean up school affairs and to see the Bible and American flag have foremost attention in education of the children of the city.  Admission was by invitation cards addressed to “Faithful and esteemed Klansmen.”
