Wood of Alabama, one of the chief aspirants for the Democratic presidential nomination, today assumed vigorous leadership of the fight to have the Democratic party in its platform denounce the Ku Klux Klan by name. "And I think the fight is won," said Senator Underwood. "There is no graver issue before this convention or before the American people than this klan issue and it has to be settled here so far as the Democratic party is concerned." Senator Underwood made public a copy of his anti-klan plank, which will be introduced in the convention at Madison Square Garden as soon as the convention gets down to receiving resolutions. If the platform committee attempts to straddle the issue it will be carried to the floor in a fight that may make Democratic history, for behind this anti-klan movement lies the combined strength of most of the northern democratic and a few western states. "There is no use of drawing a picture of a horse," said Underwood. "Unless I miss my guess," he said. "this convention will approve an anti-klan plank—if not mine, then somebody else." He not particular whether my resolution is adopted or not; I'll take anyone's that is vigorous enough and calls a spade a spade. "If this convention approves the Ku Klux Klan—an unthinkable thing—then it follows logically that I am not an 'available' candidate, for I could stand on no such platform."
