Ku Klux Klan broadside, 1p. folio, addressed "To All Genii, Grand Dragons and Hydras, Great Titans and Furies, Kleagles of Every Grade and Station, Exalted Cyclops and Terrors, and to all Citizens of the Invisible Empire, in the Name of the Valiant and Venerated Dead, I Affectionately Greet You…Edward Young Clarke no longer has any official connection with the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. He ceased to function as head of the former propagation department, now the department of extension, when I, under the authority vested in me as Imperial Wizard, cancelled the contract under which Mr. Clarke was operating. The propagation work has been absorbed by Imperial headquaters, and now is being conducted from the Imperial Palace under my sole direction and control as administrative and executive head of the order…With all the funds derived from extension work now available for broadening the bounds of the Invisible Empire and for the upbuilding of the spirit of real Americanism throughout the nation, the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan is assured of a growth even more vigorous and amazing than that which has characterized its progress in the past. Done in the Chamber of His Lordship, The Imperial Wizard of the Invisible Empire, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, on this the sixth day of the Third month of the Year of Our Lord, Nineteent Hundred and Twenty Three; and on the Dismal day of the Woeful week of the Frightful month of the Year of the Klan LVI…." VG.
