text: A very inaccurate and dismissive statement about Klan activities in Eugene back then. The RG was full of stories of Klan marches and various activities. They were almost exclusively focused on Catholics and managed to drive a number out of public office in Eugene, including the mayor, the sheriff and head of the school board, I believe.  They also tried but fails to get the legislature to pass legislation that would have closed Sacred Heart Hospital in Eugene because it was run by the Catholic Church. And this was no rag tag bunch of ruffians. Many well known citizens actively participated. Lane county was pretty much the epicenter of Klan activity in Oregon. A truely ugly piece of local lore.
