must. in: followed with TSOK-C. If
the Exalted Cyclops answers with
TSOG he may retire. Should the ('3'-

must show no resentment but re-
turn to his seat.
During the deliberations of the
Kionklave a, Klansman’ may not

dress the Exalted Cyclops as “Your

with tho ends of the fingers of the
right hand. If “His Excellency" re'
cognize's the salutatlon the Klaus-
man will turn the palm of his right
hand toward him and then drop it.
It is impressed upon all Klansmen
that the gavel is the emblem of au—
thority and that its signals. when
wit-idea by the Exalted Cyclops must
be rigidly respected. \Vritten lnstruc
.ions to Klansmen contain the fol.
lowing paragraph on this subject:
' “Any disrespect shown the Exalted

almost invariably consists of some

such as "Faith and Loyalty" “White
Supremacy." or “True American-
ism." It is in some ways compara~
tively easy for a. stranger or "alien"
to gain access to a Klan meeting and
in other ways extremely dimcult.
Klansmen and even Klan officials are
not any too well acquainted with the
personnel of their unit. At Klan-
often hidden by helmets and recog-
nition is often hard. A good talker.
with a smattering of Klan knowledge
might well be able to gain entrance
to a. meeting on the strength of a
courageous bluff. but unless the in-
truder was well versed in Klan prac-
tice he could not long remain with-
out discovery.
As has been stated in a. recent
chapter mange of the Klaus in Con-
necticut meet under assumed and
fictitious club names. Should an
outsider attempt to bluff his way in-
to one of these meetings by convinc-
ing the sentinels at the door that he
was a. Klansman he might' well be
met with an indignant retort that the
Klan was not *mccting there. This
use of the club names is an added
feature in protecting the Klonklavcs
from intrusion.
An interesting incident in this con-
nection occurred in Hartford a lil.
tlecver two years ago at a Klan
meeting which was addressed by
John W. Scott Sanders of Darlcn. at
that time King Kleaglc of, the
Realm. A Hartford newspapcrman

asked at the door. The reporter to. ‘
seated among the Klansmen and the
meeting was ready to proceed when
someone in the room recognized the
stranger and whispered to. King
Beagle Sanders that he might be
connected with tlie press. Bo vital
did the King Kleagle regard this in-
formation that he held up the meet-
mz‘for some thirty minutes in order
to make a hurried trip by automo-
