What did the Ku Klux Klan do in the election? Nobody knows exactly, but they say it pushed:
Clarence C. Morley to the Governorship in Colorado;
Colonel Rice C. Means to a short term in the Senate from Colorado;
Ben S. Paulen to the Governorship of Kansas;
W. B. Pine to the Senatorship of Oklahoma;
Edward Jackson to the Governorship of Indiana.
On the other hand, an anti-Klan ticket won in Texas; and a proposal, supported by the Klan, to make all children attend public schools (hence, end parochial schools) was voted down in Michigan and Oregon.
